X-Men #81

In "Jack of Hearts, Queen of Death," Gambit makes a tentative return to the X-Men, hoping to rebuild his place among the team. When he finally gets a moment alone with Rogue, their reunion is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Kali, whose presence throws everything into uncertainty. Written by Joe Kelly and illustrated with sharp precision by Adam Kubert, with inks by Mark Farmer and colors by Steve Buccellato, the issue’s cover by Kubert captures the tension with a striking, moody portrait.
