Cable #157 Variant Cover - Chris Burnham

Looks great!  

dang this is awesome! Burnham went all out on the tech/machine detail, the Cable figure is badass, and the Apocalypse is imposing and ominous anchoring the piece from the back. sweet cover. congrats!

Very cool. One of the coolest covers I've seen by Chris.

Congrats on this cool Cable cover!

I had a bad habit
Of missing covers past
Eranga used to call it
'Heaping of techno trash'
This Summers telepath

Apocalypse was mutant
I’m used to Domino
And all the perfect Cables
Said, "When you know Rachel."
And, "Then you don't you won't."

And all of the foes and accoutrements
Have seen it X-Force, they'll see Chris Burnham
Life is a song, it ends when it ends
I was wrong

But Eranga told me
It's alright
You were dancing through the Burnham lines
Sleepless in the comics site
But now the line is hella tight
Oh oh oh oh, oh Cyclops
Nathan met no one like you before
You had to make your own son shine
But now timeline is hella tight
Oh oh oh oh oh

This cover is pure BURNham fire! Love it - congrats E!

Very detailed background in support of the main figure. My favourite part is that it looks like a mash-up by an indy artist and a European artist. Very cool looking!

Agreed about the indie/European sensibility. I think Chris carries some Quitely influneces in his work but also channelled some of Ladronn who had a nice run on the book around this time. Some of the blocky rendering on Cable's costume really echoes what Ladronn was doing which in turn was a take on Kirby. 

Well put, Eranga. Yes, the Quitely & Ladronn influneces are indeed showing through on this piece.

Very nice!  Reminds me a little of Ladronn when he was on the book.  Congrats!

Definitely carrying that residual Ladronn influence from the run!

He clearly drew it with you in mind ;)

Nice addition. Love the detail.

Lots to look at here, composed just right, and that's some fine link ink work from Chris.  Congrats!
