Uncanny X-Men #4

Psylocke dominates this Greg Land cover for Uncanny X-Men #4 (2016), her psychic blade blazing pink as she strides forward through what appears to be an ancient Egyptian temple corridor lined with hieroglyphics and carved reliefs. Looming behind her in the shadowy passage are a hulking grey creature, a blue-armored figure, and a long-haired teammate — a team assembled under pressure and clearly not in friendly territory. Cullen Bunn's run on this title had a sharp, dangerous edge, and Land's composition here captures that tension beautifully.
