All-New X-Men #2

Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger deliver a striking cover for this 2013 Marvel NOW! entry, assembling a formidable lineup against a stormy, rubble-strewn backdrop: Wolverine crouches at the fore with claws extended, flanked by Storm, Beast, and Rogue, while a glowing ice-formed Iceman and a mysterious woman in red linger at the edges. The tension radiating from each figure — from Wolverine's snarl to Storm's glowing eyes — promises that Brian Michael Bendis's story has this team anything but at ease. A compelling second chapter in what was already shaping up to be one of the more ambitious X-Men relaunches of 2013.
