Bishop: The Last X-Man #15

The penultimate chapter of Bishop: The Last X-Man arrives with a cover that pulls no punches — Bishop, sporting his gold-and-purple X-Men uniform and crackling with pink energy, is locked in a fierce struggle against a formidable armored female opponent whose whip-like weapon coils around him against a storm-lit crimson sky. Cover pencils by Georges Jeanty and inks by Jason Martin give the confrontation a raw, kinetic urgency that perfectly suits the issue's tagline: "At Long Last — Reunited with the X-Men!" With Harris, Jeanty, and Massengill bringing their 2000 run to a fever pitch, this is a satisfying payoff for anyone who's followed Bishop's long road back.
