This week's Marvel book of the week is XSanction #3. We start off February with the Red Hulk facing off against Cable, at least from what the cover tells us. Previously we learned that Cable came back from the future to assasinate the Avengers to prevent a disaster. He's already taken down The Falcon, Captain America, and Iron Man. We left off issue 2 with the Red Hulk making his grand entrance and the virus fully engulfing Cable's body.
SPOILERS BELOW
This issue is jam-packed with action. From the get go it's Red Hulk vs Cable, Red Hulk vs Blaquesmith, Red Hulk vs Cable, Cable vs Cyclops, Red Hulk vs Virus, and Wolverine & Spiderman vs Cable. Blaquesmith plays a small role, distracting Red Hulk to let Cable regain footing temporarily.
When Red hulk strikes back at Cable, Cable does something incredible- PORCUPINE POWER! If you see the cover image posted in this article, that's exactly how it looks. Not only that, but after Red Hulk is immobilized, Cable notices the virus leaving himself and beginning to take over Red Hulk. As it does, Cyclops and Hope arrive on the scene. After a heartwarming reunion, and an argument over what Cable is doing, Wolverine and Spider-man arrive to free the Avengers and to kill Cable if necessary. Don't worry, Spider-man was just as confused.
The next thing about this issue is the preview. If you look closely, there are few things in the image that you'll want to look out for in March's final issue. First, it's Wolverine in his X-Force costume and Spider-man in his Symbiote Costume. Could this mean Spider-man will join the X-force? Probably not, but I would hope so. At least have Kaine join it
The other thing to notice is who they're fighting - it looks like Cable. Except Cable doesn't have black hair. The the Red Hulk does! I would have to say the virus takes over Red Hulk for the next issue. So expect March's issue to be Spider-man and Wolverine VS the Red, er, Silver Hulk.
You'd be silly not to track this series. Go to your comic store, spend the $10 (roughly), and grab these three issues. And when #4 comes out, grab that too. It's all setting up for Avengers VS X-men in April, and you won't want to miss that either.
