Gambit & Bishop: Alpha #1

Feb 2001 · Marvel · 2.25 USD; 3.50 CAD
“May Tomorrow Never Die!”

In "May Tomorrow Never Die!", Gambit returns to the X-Mansion to find things eerily off—Bishop is under scrutiny after Xavier discovers a mysterious organism living beneath his skin, and the team’s behavior is anything but normal. Written by Scott Lobdell and Joe Pruett, with striking art by Cary Nord and inks by Mark Lipka, this first issue sets a tense, uneasy tone as old tensions simmer beneath a surface of uneasy alliance. The cover by Nord and Lipka captures the moment’s intensity, hinting at a bond forged in conflict.

Bishop has a nightmare about having to fight side-by-side with Gambit against the X-Men. After he wakes up, Xavier discovers that Bishop has an organism living under his skin in a symbiotic relationship. Gambit returns to the mansion after a night out with Rogue to find his colleagues running tests on Bishop and acting more than a little odd.
