⚡ About the Series:
Set in a war-torn future timeline, X.S.E. follows Bishop and his sister Shard as part of Xavier’s Security Enforcers, the mutant cops of a dying world. In these final 3 issues (#2–4), Bishop’s hunt for rogue mutants like Fitzroy collides with internal corruption, Sentinel interference, and the struggle to uphold Xavier’s ideals in a world that’s already lost them.

Written by John Ostrander (Suicide Squad, Firestorm) and drawn in pure '90s Marvel form, this short series was foundational to Bishop’s lore and laid the groundwork for later arcs in X-Men and X-Treme X-Men.

• Ties into X-Men future timelines, including Days of Future Past continuity

• VF/NM grade = ideal for display or timeline completionists
