Media has promised us certain things that reality never provided.
Where are our flying cars?
Where are our android clones with their speeches about tears in rain?
And where are our giant cartoon pew-pew guns?
How come any two-bit hoodlum in a comic can yoink some surplus AIM tech off a truck and walk around with a deadly Super Soaker but here all we have are these lame ass assault rifles?
It shows a lack of imagination on humanity’s part, honestly, that giant Rob Liefeld laser guns aren’t real. Seems like in a world that pushes deterrence as a viable military strategy, such a device would be desirable.
Or maybe your weak little arms can’t handle them.
Check out our exclusive preview of Bishop #1, out next week, and keep scrolling for the basic deets.
