Spécial Strange #42
In "Réunion," Cyclops grapples with the revelation that Corsair is his father as the X-Men are seized by the Shi'ar, who demand they locate the kidnapped Lilandra within 24 hours or face retaliation. With Kitty and Kurt left behind as hostages, the team turns to the Avengers—only to find Tigra and a sudden, brutal clash with Deathbird and the Brood at the new IBM complex. Amid the chaos, the X-Men uncover a shocking discovery in the wreckage: Colossus, wounded and barely alive. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Dave Cockrum with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1985 issue features a cover by Jean Frisano.

Cyclops has a hard time dealing with the fact that Corsair is his father. The X-Men are abducted by the Shi'ar and told that Lilandra has been abducted by terrorists. They are given 24 hours to find her or the Shi'ar will take matters into their own hands. Kitty and Kurt are left on their ship as hostages. The X-Men go to the Avengers for help but only find Tigra in residence. Our heroes battle Deathbird and the Brood through the new IBM complex for Lilandra's freedom. The villains take off in a spaceship and, in the ensuing rubble, the X-Men find Colossus with a spike through his chest.
