“Five Card Studs”

In "Five Card Studs," the X-Men unwind with a high-stakes poker game that takes a strange turn when Bishop confronts unsettling visions of his future self. Meanwhile, the unexpected alliance between Sugar Man and Dark Beast sets a dangerous plan in motion—targeting Bishop, the only one who remembers the Age of Apocalypse. Written by Scott Lobdell and illustrated by Luke Ross, with inks by Andy Lanning and colors by Steve Buccellato and Electric Crayon, the issue blends tense introspection with looming threat, all framed by Andy Kubert’s cover pencils and Cam Smith’s inks.
