Uncanny X-Men #5

Psylocke takes center stage on Greg Land's cover for this 2012 issue, her katana raised high as she grapples with a hulking, red-eyed creature amid a blood-spattered, stormy backdrop — a striking image that promises high-stakes mutant action. The dynamic composition, with her pink cape whipping behind her, captures everything intense and stylish about Kieron Gillen's era on the title. Land's fluid linework, inked here by himself, makes this a visually compelling entry in Marvel's premier mutant series.
