All-New X-Men #25

The monumental 25th issue of All-New X-Men arrives in 2014 as a genuine celebration, boasting an extraordinary roster of artists — from David Marquez and Arthur Adams to Jill Thompson, J. Scott Campbell, Skottie Young, and many more — contributing to what the cover itself proudly calls "the greatest artist roster ever assembled." Stuart Immonen's cover art brings together the young X-Men in a bold, stylized composition: a green-skinned, red-haired Jean Grey dominates the foreground, with Cyclops, Iceman in his crystalline white form, a winged Angel, and Beast all surrounding her against a warm hexagonal backdrop. It's a visually striking milestone issue that makes a strong case for itself before you've even cracked the spine.
