The X-Men Annual #2

In "A Bluer Slice of Heaven," the X-Men confront a morally complex mystery when they investigate a mutant sanctuary housing those afflicted by the deadly Legacy Virus—among them Pyro and Revanche—while also harboring members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Written by Fabian Nicieza and illustrated by Aron Wiesenfeld, with inks by Al Milgrom, Bob Wiacek, and Keith Williams, and vibrant colors by Mike Thomas and Dana Moreshead, this 1993 annual blends compassion and tension in a story that dares to question who truly deserves sanctuary. The cover, penciled by Wiesenfeld and inked by Milgrom, captures the issue’s haunting tone.
