Uncanny X-Men: Manifest Destiny

In 2009, Marvel’s Uncanny X-Men: Manifest Destiny presented a single oversized issue that captured the mutant team at a pivotal moment of transition. With a cover and interior art by the legendary Alex Ross, this one-shot served as a visual and narrative bridge, exploring the X-Men’s new status quo in San Francisco. It’s a striking, standalone chapter that distills the era’s themes of hope and struggle into a single, artist-driven statement.
