About this Collection

This collection brings together the 1996 four-issue miniseries focusing on the time-traveling X-Men member Bishop. Stranded in a dystopian future, Bishop confronts the villainous Mountjoy, a mutant with the ability to drain and replicate the powers of others, while also dealing with personal ties to his sister Shard and allies like Storm and Gambit. The story deepens Bishop's backstory and his ongoing struggle against the forces that shaped his grim timeline.

In "Escape from Tomorrow," Bishop finds himself trapped in a terrifying possession by the parasitic Mountjoy, who uses his body to hunt down X-Men across the mansion. As Mountjoy leaps from one teammate to another, Bishop must race against time to stop him—caught between his soldier's duty to eliminate the threat and his loyalty to the X-Men, where killing is not an option. Written by John Ostrander and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Carlos Pacheco and Cam Smith, this pivotal issue explores the cost of duty and the weight of choice in a story that keeps tension high and stakes personal.
