Bishop, the energy-absorbing powerhouse X-Man, hails from one of mutantkind’s darkest futures. This June, that future comes back to bite in BISHOP, an all-new five-issue limited series by superstar writer Saladin Ahmed (Wolverine) and acclaimed newcomer artist Mario Santoro (Storm).
In the series, Bishop finds himself in a fight against fate when the Final Brotherhood, a new group of villains originating from his future, journey to the past to end his time in the present once and for all. In order to stop them and prevent further disruption of the timeline, Bishop will team up with his sister Shard, a fan-favorite character who starred in ‘90s X-Factor as well as previous Bishop solo series, whose tragic fate haunts Bishop to this day. Similar to recently launched solo X-titles like Rogue (2025) and Cyclops (2026), BISHOP promises to deliver a thrilling, standalone saga that encapsulates the heart and history of the character—all while putting them through the ringer on their most challenging and legacy-defining missions yet!
THE TIME-LOST X-MAN IS BACK!
Bishop has always lived by a strict code. But that code will get called into question when his sister, Shard, is sent to the present right before she died! Will Bishop adhere to his principles and protect the timestream? Or will he risk it all to save the most important person in his life?

On Sale 6/10« 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.

Depuis quand c est un de ses principes ? Sa première histoire au long cours est de tenter d arrêter le futur traître des x men.
Une bonne surprise. Je n’attends plus rien de Saladin Ahmed et je pratique suffisamment de lancements actuels de titres X-Men pour savoir que c’est rarement fameux, surtout sur un personnage autant ravagé par les auteurs que Bishop. Mais ce #1 est bon, avec un Bishop qui s’est installé dans un quartier calme de Brooklyn, où il a grandi dans un ghetto dans le futur. Avec des flasbacks montrant son enfance avec sa sœur Shard puis son intégration dans les forces de police, on voit qu’il rumine l’anniversaire de la date de la mort de sa sœur, en espérant tenter d’améliorer les choses. Storm le conseille et l’aide, mais il est attaqué en pleine rue par une surhumaine… et un portail temporel s’ouvre, car Shard vient l’aider !
C’est bien, oui. Bon, la continuité de Bishop n’a plus aucun sens, mais on est ici face au Bishop « classique », proche dans le look et dans l’attitude de celui de X-Men ’97, ce qui ne surprendra personne. Je n’ai rien contre un recentrage correct du perso’, et si l’intrigue est basique, elle est correctement suivie avec une bonne alternance présent / flashbacks. Les dessins de Mario Santoro sont jolis et agréables.
Une bonne surprise qui me fait rester.
