Marvel Age #122

Marvel Age #122 delivers a fitting tribute to the X-Men's anniversary, and the cover by penciler Joe Quesada and inker P. Craig Russell makes the occasion feel genuinely grand. Dozens of X-Men characters — from the classic yellow-and-blue-costumed originals like Cyclops and Angel in the foreground to Cable, Storm, Wolverine, Gambit, and a host of others crowding every corner — are assembled around massive ice-carved "X-Men Anniversary" lettering. It's a sprawling, energetic snapshot of just how far Marvel's mutant universe had grown by 1993, with writer Evan Skolnick guiding readers through what promises to be a celebratory look inside.
