Bishop's new look

In X-Force #16, Wolverine went stabbity.

Now, in Cable #16...

Hello there, Ultimate Nick Fury! (FYI, the gash on his forehead is from fighting Cable earlier in the issue, not from Wolverine).

What body part do you think Bishop will lose next?

	You'd think a time-traveler who's been proving completely dead wrong at least one (that I can remember) would be less fanatically set on one path. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You'd think that, wouldn't you? Especially when he's competing with a time traveller from a completely different future, who's trying to prevent his future from going completely to shit by SAVING the kid. Clearly, he's gone completely insane. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	personally I'm hoping they'll retcon him into a different Bishop. He waylaid the one we know and took his place. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hmm....lost an arm, an eye... Typically, it would be a leg which went next. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Wow, nuanced story telling. Bishop is the anti-Cable in every way, subtle! thank God he was already black Everytime I see a comment about Cable's book, I can't help but be pissed about how we lost Cable and Deadpool for this shit. They've dragged the exact same plot out for over 14 issues now! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Agreed. And while I'm still getting it because I'm hoping it's good, I'm more than a little disillusioned with it. A few issues ago we were told it we'd see the conclusion and instead we got the same plot line expanded!

Cable can only go one way, and Bishop can go all over. We get it. There have been whole issues talking just about this. Can we move on with the story please?

Last question - if Cyc was smart enough send X-Force to the EXACT time and place Cable needed them, why didn't he send through a do-it-yourself time machine repair kit? After all, according to this week's X-Men, Henry (or Hank, whatever) has shown they can travel back in time without problem.

	well, if he continues on the baxter stockman path of being maimed, i think his back's next to go. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hmm, at least Baxter's strongest asset was his brain... what's Bishop going to bring to the table when he reaches that point? --LBD "Nytetrayn" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Huh. I haven't really being paying a lot of attention to the X Books. Bishop has really lost a lot of bulk. In those X-Force scans, I couldn't even tell that was Bishop if not for the M tattoo. The art looks like a super grainy photo manipulation. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh my god they changed the art I might actually be able to read this now hyperventilates Sure, the storyline's crap, but at least I can giggle at it now without my eyes BOILING IN THEIR SOCKETS. (Reply to this)

Mine too.

Now he's a psychotic single-minded individual deciding to kill a girl to prevent the future he lives in (which would be a paradox, no?) despite the fact that Cable says she'll actually save the future. Add in some very badly acted space-time opera, a half-dozen issues of fluff, and some rather good Deadpool snark and there you go. I've brought you up to date on 16 issues.

	That is intensely stupid. Bishop is a) a cop and b) a NICE MAN. Oh, and c) knows time travel doesn't work that way. I was gonna get this in trade, too. Thanks for the synopsis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The series hasn't been all bad, and I am (although I WISH I wasn't) genuinely curious what Hope's power will be, or if she is Jean Grey 4.0 (or whatever version she's up to). Many issues have been really disappointing though. The latest mini-arc with Stryfe for example has me ticked off to the point where I'm going to give it one more issue.

After an issue that ended with something like "the shattering conclusion of Messiax War next isue!", the next issue was...Bishop ran and hid in the past and Stryfe, who only showed up the issue before, got his butt handed to him. Cable and Hope were largely unaffected other than Hope was now confused.

The issue where they found Deadpool has so far been the most entertaining overall as you listen to his story. The one just before was pretty good too. The roach President of the US...with a story about what Bishop did to the world that I can't even repeat...that one was just...wow.

	Oh nuts, I forgot there was Stryfe. I confess: I love Stryfe. has he been doing ridiculous things to make you so displeased, or do you just not like the character? Now I am curious about this tory again! But Bishop doing things to the world.. auhh. Maybe I'll just pretend it's an alternate Bishop. For all Marvel's versions of people, it could be.

	Stryfe just seemed to randomly appear and had beated Apocolypse (not really explained how) and this was after Bishop had destroyed the world. He ended up going down pretty easily. He acted horribly cliche "villian" in my opinion. All he was lacking was a handlebar mustache to twirl. (Reply to this) (Parent)
