Collection: Bishop – Marvel Comics – (1994–1995) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–4

📘 Series Summary

In his first-ever solo limited series, Lucas Bishop confronts a nightmare from his own future that has followed him into the present day. Written by John Ostrander with breakout artwork by Carlos Pacheco, this 4-issue arc dives deep into the psyche of the man who was once a high-ranking officer of the Xavier Security Enforcers (XSE). When the energy-absorbing criminal Mountjoy begins jumping between hosts in the modern era, Bishop must hunt him down before the villain can consume his teammate, Storm.

The series serves as a pivotal character study, contrasting the lethal, soldier-first training Bishop received in his dystopian future with the pacifist ideals of Charles Xavier. As Mountjoy possesses Bishop’s own body and infiltrates the X-Mansion, Bishop is forced to decide if he is still a soldier bound to execute his targets or a hero capable of a more merciful form of justice. This volume is essential for understanding Bishop’s history and his complex relationship with his sister, Shard.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• The definitive first solo series for Bishop, detailing his life before joining the X-Men.
• Features incredible, career-defining artwork by Carlos Pacheco and Cam Smith.
• Introduces the terrifying villain Mountjoy, a parasitic threat from Bishop’s future timeline.
• Explores the ideological conflict between the brutal XSE protocols and the dream of Professor X.
• Essential reading for fans of 90s X-Men lore and time-travel narratives.
• A complete 4-issue limited series that successfully bridges the gap between Bishop's past and present.
