The Uncanny X-Men '96 #1

Direct Edition

Shard sets up a meeting to reconcile with her big brother, Bishop. Bishop tries to come to grips with the fact that his dead sister is a hologram. In the midst of this family drama, Operation Zero Tolerance sends a Hound to capture the gauntlet that allows Shard to exist. The X-Men come to the rescue, and, in the mayhem, Shard becomes an independent entity, not requiring any equipment to exist.
