The Uncanny X-Men Annual #16

Part 2 of Marvel's 1992 crossover event "Shattershot" arrives in this 64-page annual, with cover art by Jae Lee and Jan Anton Harps delivering a vivid, kinetic image of an imposing blue-skinned alien brute wielding a rifle at center stage, flanked by a snarling pink-and-yellow costumed figure at lower left and two X-Men — a flame-haired woman and Storm in her white costume — caught in the chaos of battle. The exotic, palm-dotted alien skyline behind them sets a tone that's far from any familiar Earth locale. Interior work from artist Jae Lee and writer Chris Cooper promises the same sharp energy across all 64 pages of this oversized issue.
