Yaga Dyara has been trying to kill the Rasputin bloodline for centuries.

This issue takes place right after Uncanny X-Men 231, as Colossus is upset that he just liked to his sister, Magik, that he was dead, and only his ghost visited her in Limbo.
I really do like seeing Betsy and Colossus being friends.
Yaga Dyara attacks, and the X-Men fight back.

I do like how often Colossus thinks about Illyana this issue.

Betsy goes into Colossus’ mind, and she knows just how to motivate him, that Illyana will never let him live this down.

Colossus wins the day, and begins sculpting.
Issue ends with Havok checking on Madelyne Pryor, who didn’t do much, and is feeling bad about that.
Issue opens with Mojo being pitched a new show, Murder Television, by his Major Domo.
I recognized three of the four famous Marvel murders. Jean dying on the moon, Bullseye killing Elektra, someone being straight shot from behind, and Bucky knocking Steve out of a plane, before it explodes.
BluSky friend, and terrific follow, Jonathan Loves X-Men, hipped me to the third one is Doug Ramsey saving Wolfsbane in New Mutants V1 60. Of course that is what it is. I saw a wolf, but was thrown off by the giant green person, and I’ll admit, I thought Doug was a yellow cape of the green person. So clear once someone explained it. Thanks Jonathan Loves X-Men.
Meanwhile, in the Outback, Colossus and Betsy are enjoying a run, fun how they are both armored here.
Rogue and Dazzler are being very catty about Longshot, as he wrestles an alligator.
I really like Storm’s remark after Logan points out how people shouldn’t crush on teammates, it never ends well, and she comments about how he would know.
Havok checks in with Madelyne Pryor. I love so much him telling her that she doesn’t have to keep earing her spot on the team, she has it. She hears it, but wants the distraction of trying to hack into the Reavers’ computer. Unfortunately, she’s able to hack in, setting off the Godshreddar program.
Turns out, when Logan clawed his way through three Hellfire Goons during that segment of the Dark Phoenix Saga, he actually tore into a fourth one pretty badly, leaving only his head and hand. So, the Reavers put what was left inside of the Godshreddar, and the Godshreddar was able to take over the bodies of the X-Men. Which gives us an awesome sequence of Logan having to single handedly defeat the X-Men, and not hurt them, too badly.
Now that we have a Godshreddar, can we get god turtles to fight him? That’ll be pretty cool.
Is there a rule about Marvel created their own set of turtles? As a fun homage? Seriously, just give me TMNT / X-Men already. I would want TMNT / Daredevil first, but then X-Men immediately after.
