“Gifted Part One”

John Cassaday's cover for this 2004 launch says everything with elegant restraint: Wolverine's three adamantium claws thrust upward from a gloved fist against pure darkness, a brilliant starburst of light erupting at their crossing point. It's a striking, stripped-down image that signals this new series means business. With Joss Whedon writing "Gifted Part One," Astonishing X-Men #1 arrives as a genuinely exciting fresh chapter for Marvel's mutants.
