Uncanny X-Men Annual #1

Against a blood-red background, Salvador Larroca's cover for this 2019 annual depicts a tangle of Cyclops variants — multiple versions of Scott Summers in different costumes across his history, grappling and clashing with one another — while one figure rises above the fray, optic blast blazing into the sky. The story title "The Return of Cyclops" makes the central question unmistakable: which version of this complicated hero will emerge from the chaos? Ed Brisson and Carmen Gomez deliver an oversized annual that promises to dig into one of the X-Men's most enduring and conflicted figures.
