New X-Men #127

Frank Quitely delivers a strikingly odd and quietly unsettling cover for this 2002 Grant Morrison chapter of New X-Men — a massive, armored figure in an X-Men uniform sits cross-legged, its spiked metal helmet and glowing blue eye-lenses staring blankly forward, hands clasped as if in contemplation, with a single hamburger resting on the ground before it. The sheer contrast between the hulking, mechanized presence and that one mundane cheeseburger gives the image a darkly comic stillness that feels entirely at home in Morrison's run. With John Paul Leon on interior art and Bill Sienkiewicz inking, "Of Living and Dying" promises a creative team firing on all cylinders.
