📘 Series Summary

Launched as part of the M-Tech line and written by Joseph Harris, Bishop: The Last X-Man takes Lucas Bishop on a high-concept journey through time and alternate realities. After the events of the "Hunt for Xavier," Bishop finds himself stranded in a desolate, post-apocalyptic future—a timeline where he is the last surviving X-Man. Struggling to survive in this "Chronowar" landscape, Bishop must navigate a world of shifting timelines while being pursued by an enigmatic adversary known as The Witness.

The series is notable for its heavy use of classic rock references in its issue titles (borrowing from Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd) and for its surreal, psychological tone. The 16-issue run dives deep into Bishop's burden as a man out of time, eventually weaving back into mainstream X-Men continuity with the "Dream's End" crossover. It remains a unique, atmospheric chapter in mutant history that explores the heavy price of being a time-traveling soldier.

  • The definitive solo title exploring Bishop’s odyssey through the multiverse at the turn of the millennium.
  • Features atmospheric art and a distinct "cyber-western" vibe that differentiates it from other X-titles of the era.
  • Explores the mysterious relationship between Bishop and The Witness (a future version of Gambit).
  • Includes the complete "Chronowar" epic spanning across the mid-point of the series.
  • Concludes with essential tie-ins to the "Dream's End" crossover event in issue #16.
  • A complete 16-issue limited series that captures the experimental energy of Marvel's late-90s editorial direction.
