Devil's Reign: X-Men #3

Phil Noto's cover for this third chapter of the Devil's Reign crossover tells a tense story all on its own: Emma Frost, dressed in a prison-issue shirt stamped "EF47188," stands flanked by two stern police officers, her expression defiant even in custody. The ghostly overlay of a second, harder face emerging through her own is a quiet reminder that her diamond form and telepathic will are very much intact, whatever her captors may think. Gerry Duggan and Noto bring "Showstopper" to a close with a cover that makes one thing clear — containing the White Queen is easier said than done.
