Reign of X #9

A young mutant woman dominates Christian Ward's vivid cover for this 2022 Marvel trade, her determined gaze framed against a swirl of bright, kaleidoscopic color that perfectly captures the vibrant energy of the Krakoan era. Reign of X Vol. 9 collects stories from a remarkable creative roster — including Zeb Wells and Stephen Segovia among others — as the "Funny Games" arc reaches its third chapter. It's a visually striking package that makes a strong case for just how much personality and artistry the Reign of X initiative brought to the X-Men line.
