Uncanny X-Men by Kieron Gillen #3

Part of Marvel's 2012 Avengers vs. X-Men crossover event, this Uncanny X-Men collection delivers the large-scale conflict the crossover promises right on its cover — two massive armored figures, one bathed in red and crackling with electricity, locked in a fierce, face-to-face confrontation. Greg Land's bold, kinetic cover art captures the intensity of that clash with striking detail and color work from Guru-eFX that makes the energy between the combatants practically hum off the page. A great showcase of the AvX era's ambition and the charged tension at the heart of mutantkind's struggle.
