Uncanny X-Men Annual #1

This 2026 annual from Marvel pairs writers Gail Simone and Mikki Kendall for a story teased by the intriguing cover question: "Who Were… The Regulators?" David Marquez's cover art arranges four hands in a striking tableau — adamantium claws extended from a raised fist, a clawed demonic hand cradling a glowing energy flame, and two revolvers held steady — suggesting a meeting of mutant power and gunslinger grit. It's a visually arresting setup that promises something with real scope and history behind it.
