The Uncanny X-Men #154

Dave Cockrum's cover for Uncanny X-Men #154 crackles with urgent energy, showing Cyclops, Storm, and a red-suited figure pressing forward through a storm of jagged, chaotic debris and energy bursts. The small portrait gallery in the upper left reminds you just how deep this roster runs — Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, and others all part of the world Chris Claremont was building in 1982. Titled "Reunion," this issue promises the kind of charged, emotionally loaded storytelling that made this era of X-Men genuinely compelling.
