Marvel Top #6
In "Fils du destin," Shard confronts her brother Bishop in a poignant attempt to rebuild their fractured bond, only to face the unsettling truth that she’s a hologram—her existence tied to a relic that now draws the attention of Operation Zero Tolerance. As the X-Folk intervene to protect her, the confrontation sparks a transformation: Shard evolves beyond her mechanical origins, becoming a self-sustaining being for the first time. Written by Howard Mackie and Terry Kavanagh, with art by David Perrin and Nick Gnazzo, and colors by Kevin Somers and Malibu Coloring, this emotional turning point is rendered with striking visuals, including Bernard Chang’s cover pencils and Jon Holdredge’s inks.
