The Uncanny X-Men #456

Wolverine fights back-to-back with a clawed, striped mystery figure as dinosaurs close in from every direction on the cover of Uncanny X-Men #456, part two of the five-part "World's End" storyline. Alan Davis and Mark Farmer deliver a wildly kinetic prehistoric battleground — raptors, a pterosaur, and a massive theropod all lunging through a fiery jungle landscape — that makes it immediately clear Chris Claremont has thrown his cast somewhere very far from home. It's a genuinely thrilling visual promise for this 2005 chapter of one of Marvel's most enduring mutant titles.
