In "Elegy," the X-Men gather for Jean's funeral, where Cyclops delivers a poignant, meticulously detailed recount of the team's first 137 issues—spanning origins, battles, and bonds. As the moment passes, Cyclops departs, leaving Kitty behind to stand with the memory of those who came before. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this emotional chapter is rendered with care and weight, its tone grounded in legacy. The cover by Steve Lightle captures the quiet sorrow of the moment.
