Uncanny X-Men Annual #1

Storm commands the cover of this 2006 annual, rendered by Leinil Francis Yu in a striking tribal look — white hair flowing, staff in hand, sun amulet at her chest — as a group of X-Men including a red-haired woman, a large armored figure, Nightcrawler, and others gather in the background against a warm crimson sky. Subtitled "Prelude to the Wedding of the Century," the issue brings together writers Chris Claremont and Tony Bedard with artist Clayton Henry for what promises to be a meaningful chapter in Storm's story. It's a visually bold package that fans of Ororo Munroe won't want to skip.
