Bishop embarks on a time travelling adventure in the all-new five-issue mini-series by Saladin Ahmed and Mario Santoro this summer.
The story begins when the Final Brotherhood (a new group of villains originating from Bishop’s future) journeys to the past to seal Bishop’s fate once and for all.
The new Bishop series also sees the return of his sister Shard, who he teams up with to foil the plans of the Final Brotherhood.
“I’m having a blast doing a deep dive into the dark corners of Lucas Bishop’s time-travel traumatized mind!” Ahmed said. “I’m a writer who loves both family drama and spectacle, so getting to juxtapose the big visual comic book elements of temporal warping and explosive powers with the quiet pain and joy of sibling relationships is my happy place.”
“When I drew issues of Storm (2024), I also had the pleasure of drawing Bishop, and I really enjoyed doing it. I never imagined that I would get a chance to draw an incredible solo adventure for the character,” Santoro shared. “I have always loved the X-Men, and I’m thrilled every time I get to work with one of them. I’m also excited to work with a fantastic team led by [Editor] Darren Shan and alongside Saladin Ahmed, who wrote an incredible story for Lucas.”
“Mario Santoro’s pages for this are a thrill, including some INSANE designs for our new ‘hybrid’ mutant villains, the Final Brotherhood!” Ahmed added.
