Generation X #61

Three figures in striking red-and-yellow costumes dominate this Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson cover — two larger, flame-wreathed combatants lunge forward while a third hovers behind with energy crackling at her hands, the whole scene lit by a burst of fire at the bottom of the frame. It's a vivid, kinetic image that sets an appropriately heated tone for "Christmas Fear Part Two," suggesting the holiday season is anything but peaceful for the young mutants of Generation X. Jay Faerber and Kevin Sharpe's 2000 run continues to deliver on the book's promise of action and ensemble energy.
