In which it’s rude to eat in a helmet; Cable does his best villain bit; Bishop is clearly unfamiliar with early X-Force; we’re pretty sure clones still count as people; and Stryfe is the surprise MVP of Gambit & Bishop: Sons of the Atom.
X-PLAINED:
- Another time Stryfe and Bishop teamed up
- Gambit & Bishop: Sons of the Atom #3-6
- Some of the Witness’s fancy swag
- An extremely awkward meal
- Stryfe in four pages
- Unsubtle foreshadowing
- The relative ethics of killing Stryfe
- A visual representation of time
- Somewhat logical consequences
- Bad clone ethics
- Future uncertainty
- Le Bête Noir
- Hell-lord / anti-Phoenix disambiguation
- A fancy t-shirt
- The appropriate amount of mean to be to Stryfe
- When Gambit and Bishop: Sons of the Atom takes place relative to The Search for Cyclops (more) (again) (inconclusive)
- Reasons not to live under a crypt in New Orleans
- Betty Noir’s
- Relative (fictional) body counts
- Business-casual Stryfe
- Lucas Bishop, kitten guy
- Relitigating the X-traitor
