All-New X-Men #29

The young Warren Worthington III — the time-displaced Angel in his red-and-white uniform, great white wings spread wide — strides forward from a sleek green motorcycle with quiet, determined intensity on this 2014 cover by Stuart Immonen and Wade von Grawbadger. There's something compelling about seeing this classic X-Man grounded on asphalt rather than soaring through open skies, as if the road ahead demands something different from him entirely. Brian Michael Bendis's run on All-New X-Men consistently delivered sharp character moments, and this cover suggests issue #29 puts Angel squarely at the center of the action.
