*Marvel: New Mutants, the ‘X-Men In Training’ series of the 1980s, launched two latter-day super-stars of the Marvel Universe as guest-stars in its pages; in issue #87, readers were introduced to perma-grumpy future-warrior Cable, who came back to the past, Terminator-like, to affect the events of his own future. Cable’s never-quite defined powers mostly consisted of shouting at people a lot (kind of like a cyborg Gordon Ramsay), but that didn’t stop him having a long career as the star of several series of his own title, as well as taking over the New Mutants and rebranding them as X-Force. In New Mutants #98, Deadpool made his first appearance, and caught on with a vengeance; originally a fairly generic assassin for hire, it took a little while for the Merc-With-A-Mouth to evolve into the wisecracking, loveable, multi-personality psychotic he’s known as today, but he has become a phenomenon of the 21st century, hero of his own series and countless spin-offs, and of course starring in one of the highest-grossing movies ever. Deadpool 2 is due in the cinemas soon – co-starring Cable, what a coincidence – and we have both #87 and #98 to offer you, in affordable mid-grades. #87, technically Cable’s first full appearance (he stuck his face into the previous issue for a panel or two) is FN+ p at £40; Deadpool’s debut in #98 is FN p £65. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
