Uncanny X-Men #2

Emma Frost commands the cover of Uncanny X-Men #2 (2013), rendered in a striking near-monochromatic palette — her white hair and pale complexion set against an all-black outfit, with crystalline diamond shapes scattered across the background hinting at her mutant abilities. The cover art by Chris Bachalo and Tim Townsend gives Emma a cool, composed menace that feels perfectly suited to the Marvel NOW! era's fresh take on the X-Men. With Brian Michael Bendis writing and Bachalo handling both pencils and colors inside, this is a visually distinctive entry in the relaunched series.
