“Mexican Standoff”

The painted watercolor cover by Jon J. Muth sets an immediately distinctive tone for this 1988 Epic Comics prestige-format series — Havok looms large in the background, his black costume and circular chest emblem radiating quiet menace, while Wolverine crouches in the foreground with claws fully extended. Walter and Louise Simonson team up on the writing, with Muth and Kent Williams bringing a painterly, atmospheric sensibility that feels refreshingly unlike anything else Marvel was publishing at the time. If you're drawn to X-Men stories with genuine artistic ambition, Meltdown #1 is a compelling place to start.
