Spécial Strange #56
"Freedom Force contre X-Men" brings together two iconic teams in a high-stakes clash that begins with Longshot’s desperate arrival on Earth—memory lost, hunted from another world. Written by Ann Nocenti and illustrated by Arthur Adams, with inks by Whilce Portacio, Scott Williams, and Bill Anderson, and colors by Christie Scheele, this 1988 special captures the chaos and wonder of a refugee finding his footing among humans and monsters alike. The cover by John Romita Jr. and Bob Wiacek sets the tone for a story where fate, friendship, and a kidnapped child collide in the shadows of a mysterious portal.
In a tense showdown in San Francisco, the X-Men find themselves at odds with Freedom Force, who arrive with orders to arrest them. As the fight leaves the streets in ruins, the SFPD intervenes—only to force the X-Men out of the city in the wake of the damage. Amid the chaos, Rachel makes a startling revelation to Cyclops, one that could change everything.
In "Un jour se lève... ... et c'est demain," the Mutant Massacre erupts with chilling precision: Malice takes control of Dazzler, Nightcrawler is overwhelmed by a furious mob, and Magneto stands at a crossroads when the Hellfire Club extends an unexpected invitation. The story unfolds with tense urgency, weaving personal peril and shifting allegiances in a world where mutant fate hangs in the balance.
In "L'homme sans passé," Longshot—adrift after fleeing through a portal with no memory of his past—finds himself on Earth, where he's taken in by the eccentric survivalist Eliot and a mysterious dog-like being named Magog. When they learn of a kidnapped child, the trio sets out to rescue the baby, only to confront the same otherworldly creatures that pursued Longshot, now preparing a ritual to open a portal back to their realm.
