Cable And Bishop Will Team Up To Witness The Devastating Fate Of The Marvel Universe In TIMESLIDE #1

For the last few years, Marvel Comics has ended the year with a bang in special one-shots that pack epic stories and provide glimpses at the next year's worth of storytelling. This mighty Marvel tradition continues in December not with Timeless, but in the pages of Timeslide #1.

Written by Steve Foxe (Dark X-Men) and illustrated by Ivan Fiorelli (Fantastic Four), Timeslide will star the X-Men's resident time-travelling soldiers, Bishop and Cable, as they blaze through the timestream to prevent a villain from eliminating mutantkind from history.

During this high-stakes mission, they'll pay witness to things just on the horizon for our favourite Marvel heroes including upcoming events, new characters, and more.

Here's the official description of a comic which promises to reveal "the fate of the Marvel Universe":

An X-Man from the future arrives in the present with a dire warning: One of mutantkind’s most hyper-advanced foes is eating his way through time, trying to stop the X-Gene from ever evolving in the first place. Only two X-Men can stop this chronal predator from achieving his goal 0 if they can tolerate working together long enough. Join Bishop and Cable on a trip through futures past, present and beyond.

"I was thrilled when Tom Brevoort reached out about Timeslide," Foxe said today. "These annual mega-issues have become a perennial favorite of mine, both as a standalone story of their own and as a sneak peak of what’s to come for the year ahead."

"Getting to structure this one around Cable and Bishop—two of my favorite mutants, and two I didn’t write much during my prior X-tenure—was icing on the chrono-cake."

He added, "Ivan Fiorelli can truly draw anything, and this story proves that era by era on a tour of some of the X-Men’s most notable moments as a new threat opens his maw and threatens all of mutant history."

"We build on Cable and Bishop’s tumultuous relationship from Children of the Vault for a pulse-pounding ride that touches on some of my favorite parts of X-stories past—and teases some exciting upcoming mutant tale."

"And while the flash-forwards in this issue aren’t only X-related, it was exciting, as a diehard X-fan, to write the first Timeless that became Timeslide," Foxe concluded.

Nice cover.
Absolute Power is an awesome read right now. But we'll never see an article about that.
It's from DC. Shhhhhh

Excellent artwork. These are excellent characters. X- Force was one of my favorite comics when they first appeared.

@DocSpock - Did you ever read Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender, that run was amazing.

@DocSpock - There is clearly no TVA in the comics though...these 2 have been doing the good work for a while now.

@marvel72 -

Yes. So great. I have read every Marvel comic from 1959 - now. And every DC comic from 1957 - now.

The bug bit me in the early 60s.

I stopped reading new Marvel after the terrible relaunch they did post AvX. But leading up to that, that Cable solo run where he was protecting and raising Hope in the future while Bishop chased her trying to kill her was such a great run.

@mountainman - it was crazy. In a good way.

@KennKathleen - Bishop turning “evil” was totally unexpected and the story they told gave him good character motivations doing so.

But the best part was Nathan and Hope. A man who was given up by his parents as a baby and had to find his family adopts a daughter that had nobody else and raised her as his own. He was sent on this mission by his own father who had given him up due to difficult circumstances long ago.

The summers family can be convoluted and melodramatic sometimes. But when they nail the stories, man are they good.

@mountainman - 🙄😳🎯.

Your summarization of the story makes me wanna read a draft of your script!

Here's hoping MARVEL will one day get to this level of writing in film.

Ironically, this could've been brilliantly explored during the current multiverse movement.

@KennKathleen - It’s a summary of Cable vol 2 from 2008.

That whole large arc that started with House of M, included Messiah Complex/War , this Cable story, the X-Men disbanding, mutant decimation, the best X-Force runs ever, mutants starting to come back, and culminating in AvX (which was the most disappointing part of that whole story arc) is some of the best mutant stuff ever.

That could be the mutant saga after they do some foundational set up and origins. So many great stories in that 8ish year run of stories.
