The “Age of Apocalypse” storyline is highly regarded, and the comic X-Man, created by Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce, uniquely continued after the main event concluded. The first couple of years were particularly strong, and for just over two years, X-Man was the definitive series featuring Cable. A talented team of artists – including John Ostrander, Terry Kavanagh, Luke Ross, Roger Cruz, Val Semeiks, Alan Davis, Pasqual Ferry, Cary Nord, ChrisCross, Ariel Olivetti, Marc Pajarillo, and J.H. Williams III – consistently delivered excellent work across its 48 issues. While Cable was already a popular antihero, X-Man explored fresh perspectives and offered a classic superhero experience that many feel is underappreciated.
