Apocalypse vs. Cable OA
Just wanted to share this piece of OA (double page) I picked up... The prequel ending/lead-up to "Blood of Apocalypse".
Cable went back in time to learn how to defeat (a young) Apocalypse, only to find that very battle would be the means for Apocalypse to gain Celestial technology and become a more powerful being (via Cable’s blood through the below battle) .
“....Apocalypse would use Rama Tut’s technology to "regenerate" for long periods of time, becoming more and more powerful when awakening. He was also known to have traveled around the world during these ancient years, appearing to various primitive cultures as their death god. At some point, when traveling through Mongolia, Apocalypse encountered a spaceship abandoned by the planet-judging aliens, the Celestials. His travels then became fueled by a single-minded purpose-- to find the key that would unlock the secrets to this alien technology. He found it in the person of Nathan Summers [Cable], then wandering various eras as the Traveler. The two fought, and although Apocalypse was nearly killed, he was saved by Ozymandias and taken to the Celestial ship. Apocalypse’s blood had become infected with Summers’ techno-organic virus during the battle, and the infection allowed Apocalypse to not only transform into an even more powerful being, but to also interface with the Celestial ship, claiming it as his own.”

I have always liked the characters Apocalypse and Cable, and I thought this battle was a cool little piece of their history. Also, as much as I like the characters, there’s just something awesome about seeing Cable have his arm butchered off and Apocalypse taking a bullet to the head
Thanks for looking!

Lan Medina is a very underrated artist. Loved his work on Fables, Foolkiller and Silver Surfer. Got a commission from him too.

Honestly, I can see this scene showing up in an XForce or XMen movie down the road. Solid art! Great that you got both pages. Way to go!
