Uncanny X-Men #4

Colossus dominates this 2012 cover in full armored glory, his massive chrome fist thrust toward the viewer as he tears through what appears to be a shattered, golden technological landscape. Brandon Peterson's artwork gives the Russian X-Man a sense of raw, unstoppable momentum — the perspective and detail work making him feel genuinely imposing. With Kieron Gillen at the helm and colors by Justin Ponsor lending the metallic surfaces a striking sheen, this fourth issue promises a team operating at full intensity.
