Back in 1991 the time-traveling mutant Lucas Bishop made his debut within the pages of Uncanny X-Men #282. Created by Whilce Portacio and John Byrne together with Portacio’s longtime pal, artist Karl Altstaetter, energy-absorbing mutant soldier has time hopped in the previous few many years, however as a rule he sticks round within the current period as a member of the X-Men. Bishop will get the highlight in an upcoming arc of X-Men Legends #5-6 written and drawn by Portacio himself together with prolific comics author Brian Haberlin.
Here’s how Marvel describes the arc:
The story will lastly reveal the genesis of Bishop’s fateful time journey mission that pulled him from the longer term and into the X-Men’s current! Presaging Bishop’s first look within the traditional Uncanny X-Men #282, the arc will shed new gentle on Bishop’s original motivations and the extraordinary guilt he feels over his fallen teammates in addition to present shocking depth to the dystopian world he left behind. This unimaginable and transferring two-parter is barely the most recent X-Men epic in X-MEN LEGENDS, the collection that sees X-Men’s best creators return with all-new, in-continuity tales set throughout their original iconic runs!
Bishop, Malcolm, and Randall, the elite Omega Squad, have found a darkish reality concerning the X.S.E. After a mission goes sideways, how far will they be keen to go to make this proper? To the previous — and past! Bishop will take advantage of surprising determination in X-MEN LEGENDS historical past that may redefine what you thought you knew about mutantkind’s future and the rationale behind Bishop’s collision with the X-Men!
Portacio defined what it’s prefer to revisit his fan-favorite X-Men creation:
“At heart, I love the genre of science fiction. Specifically, the world building aspect of science. So, when Karl and I created Lucas Bishop, we built in our heads, a world for Omega Squad to exist in. In the original incarnation, we didn’t have much time to show any of that. Here in these two issues, Brian and I are able to give the audience a beginning glimpse of some of the detail of the world that Bishop left behind.”
“We give flavor to the micro ecosystem that is The Pool, its inmates, their families, the X.S.E., and most importantly, Bishop and his character and personality. I’ve always seen Bishop as much, much more than X-Men muscle. He has always been, to me, a man perfectly born to conquer a harsh world. Yet he hides within himself a heart more suited for a kinder existence…which gives him purpose in that harsh world.”
Haberlin voiced his pleasure at lastly collaborating together with his pal on a Marvel venture:
“Whilce and I have been longtime collaborators, and both worked for Marvel individually, but never together! It’s an honor he thought of me to work with him on defining more of Bishop’s history; a legendary comic artist and a legendary X-Men? How could I say no??”
Look for X-Men Legends #5 to reach in shops and digitally on January twenty fourth, 2023 and challenge #6 to reach on February eighth, 2023.
