Astonishing X-Men #11

Psylocke blazes with psychic energy at the center of Greg Land's cover for Astonishing X-Men #11, her purple costume and dark hair whipping as she channels a fierce psionic burst. Below her, a suited blond figure — calm yet clearly imperiled — is ensnared alongside her in a mass of writhing, grotesque tentacles that dominate the lower half of the image. Charles Soule's "A Man Called X" arc reaches its fifth chapter here, with Ron Garney and Matt Milla bringing the interior art to this tense, creature-threatened standoff.
