Classic X-Men #25

The cover by Kerry Gammill and Terry Austin makes a bold impression, with a towering Colossus in his gleaming metal form squaring off against a powerful white-suited figure — the villain Magnum — while Storm, Wolverine, Cyclops, and other X-Men are shown struggling at their feet. Published in September 1988, this issue reprints material with a story titled "Twas the Night Before Christmas," suggesting a seasonal adventure with higher stakes than caroling. It's a satisfying entry in this reprint series, with the cover's dynamic composition doing excellent work conveying just how much trouble the team might be in.
