I suppose that "man in the wheelchair" IS Bishop. He created a robot copy of a young self and moved his consciousness into the new body before becoming senile. Therefor Bishop just killed his old biologic husk.

That could be true. Would also be a nice nod to the 4kids version.

guess time will tell if this was really the case, or if it was actually an act of patricide. either way both are equally unsettling!!! i found Bishop disturbing and unsettling before, but now he truly established himself as ONE miserable rotten S.O.B. !!!

He did seem to be a little bit more senile in those last moments. At least I think he did.

That would be incredible, great theory! I hope you're eventually proven right in a couple of months!

One thing I have noticed is that Bishop still bleeds when Hob slashes at him. He's still got...red muscle bits under the skin. And the mechanical systems in his hands pretty much replicates bone exactly.

That's a good point. And considering he reffered to him as his dad, it could be that the copy considers himself a separate individual and lost a bit of himself in the process of transferring his consciousness.

More of a Jango Fett/ Bobba Fett situation. Remember that Jango wanted to raise one of his own clones as his own child. In other words he adopted himself to raise himself. Bobba, his own clone referred to Jango as his father. Agent Bishop would act like it in order to keep going in an extended life. The question would be, if Agent Bishop transfered his consciousness to the cloned body then how could his original body be alive? I know the 'lifeless husk' remark was made, but the old man was alive and well. Maybe Agent Bishop had cloned himself and his clone when mad including allowing the creator to be killed. That eliminates the conscious transference and allows for old man Bishop to carry on and Agent Bishop to be something more than human.

I hope it doesn't. Supe it up, sure, but there's enough Fred Wolf/Playmates influence as it is.

Also it would look tacky in a more serious-ish based series such as this one.

It'll probably look more like the Shellraiser from Nick, or the Battle Shell from 4kids either way. Turtles always have a truck/van in the shows.

And the others... The Turtle Van is bound to draw attention. And the Shellraiser will be pulled over as soon as a cop sees it. It's a subway cart with giant wheels that take up two lanes, no way does it ever blend in. and that's not even the end of it, as it has a giant cannon on top and TINY WINDOW INSTEAD OF A WINDSHIELD! Point is, the Battle Shell is the only one that looks like it wouldn't get towed away on it's very first day in public. |

I really don't like it when pop culture references are used because they can be misunderstood by readers and then it's like a wasted line and messes with the flow of the story. imho. But I suppose it goes into the development of the character that uses the line. I mean it dates them somewhat or implies that they watch nick at night.

even though i buy a physical copy, things like this is why i buy digital as well. sometimes the guided view on comixology zooms in too close for my preference, it's great for concealing reveals. otherwise this issue was SO dang good though! probably the easiest to want to re-read again and again.

Heh, in today's episode of the Nick cartoon, we saw Bishop with half his face burnt off exposing his Utrom exoskeleton, looked just like IDW's Bishop in this issue. Seemed like a funny nod even though I know both stories were written months apart with no knowledge of what the other series was doing. Coincidence I guess.
