The Uncanny X-Men #520

Part of Marvel's Nation X initiative, Uncanny X-Men #520 brings together a striking trio on Terry and Rachel Dodson's cover: Wolverine crouches low in the foreground with claws extended and energy crackling around his fist, while Psylocke stands ready beside him, her own psionic power swirling in hand — and looming behind them both is a hooded, masked figure brandishing twin pistols. Matt Fraction scripts, with interior art by Greg Land, Jay Leisten, and colorist Justin Ponsor rounding out a talented creative team. It's a tense, moody image that promises high stakes for mutantkind on Utopia.
