Ultimate X-Men #9

A figure surfs high above a gleaming city skyline on a trail of ice, her X-Men insignia visible and expression fierce with momentum — it's a striking image that captures the kinetic energy of Marvel's reimagined mutant universe. Ultimate X-Men #9 continues "Return to Weapon X," the third chapter of a six-part arc that writer Mark Millar and cover penciler Tom Raney were crafting for this bold 2001 series. The bird's-eye perspective and cool blue palette give the cover a genuinely thrilling sense of altitude and speed.
