Marvel Comics’ year-ending one-shot will be looking a little different this year. The publisher will be forgoing their usual Timeless entry and instead release Timeslide #1, written by Steve Foxe and with art by Ivan Fiorelli which hits shelves on 12/25. The name-change is a nod to the fact this year’s issue will feature the time-traveling mutants Cable and Bishop as they blaze through the timestream to prevent a villain from eliminating mutantkind from history.

“I was thrilled when Tom Brevoort reached out about TIMESLIDE,” Foxe said. “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.”

What can readers expect from this year’s issue?

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 – if they can tolerate working together long enough. Join Bishop and Cable on a trip through futures past, present and beyond.
