Marvel no ha incluido descripciones de muchos de los libros de este mes relacionados al final de Secret Invasión, por aquello de evitar spoilers. Este es el caso de este comic. Lo incluyo en esta ocasión por el grupo de villanos que presentan en la portada: mr. Negative, menace, Ezequiel, y Batroc el saltador! Este último un clásico enemigo del capitan américa (y experto en savate). Y los demás villanos creados en historias presentadas recientemente.

Y finalmente, 4 años (!!) después de iniciada esta miniserie, marvel terminará su publicación. Y como preámbulo vuelven poner en venta las dos partes que ya habían salido antes. En lo personal sí quiero ver si la espera valió la pena, o si hubiese sido mejor que muriese en el olvido.

Ahora podremos oir la versión de Bishop sobre el mesías de Messiah Complex y el por qué de su traición a sus amigos. El mini-evento de los x-men estuvo muy bueno. Esperemos que esta historia sea un buen complemento.

X-MEN: THE TIMES AND LIFE OF LUCAS BISHOP #1 (OF 3)
Written by DUANE SWIERCZYNSKI
Pencils by LARRY STROHMAN
Cover by ARIEL OLIVETTI
“Memories of the Monster”
By now you know that Lucas Bishop—former cop, renegade X-Man—refuses to rest until he’s killed the so-called “mutant messiah.” But do you know why? To answer that question you have to look into Bishop’s past…which actually means jumping 50 years into the future, when his parents barely escaped a nuclear holocaust, only to land in the most brutal “mutant relocation” camp in the world. There, a young Bishop first heard the horror stories about the green-eyed monster that ushered in the the downfall of mutantkind, and swore vengeance — embarking on a life-long, time-hopping mission that begins here, in this special three-part mini-series. You haven’t heard the “Messiah Complex” story until you’ve heard Bishop’s side of the story…
