X-Men #27

In "Generationen," the fate of the X-Men intertwines with a stolen gem tied to an ancient, immortal soul, as Candra tracks Storm across a shifting landscape of memory and power. With Jamil now under the Shadow King’s influence and the weight of Graydon Creed’s passing lingering between Jean and Sam, the past refuses to stay buried. Written by Scott Lobdell, Ralph Macchio, and Reinhard Schweizer, with art by Cedric Nocon and inks by Chad Hunt, this 1999 issue unfolds with layered tension, its vivid colors by Joe Rosas and GCW and sharp lettering by RAM. The cover by Joe Madureira and Tim Townsend captures the storm’s intensity in bold, dynamic lines.
