Uncanny X-Men: Sisterhood

In this 2009 one-shot from Marvel, the psychic ninja Psylocke takes center stage as the Sisterhood—a cadre of formidable female villains—closes in on the X-Men. Artist Greg Land brings a polished, photo-realistic style to this tense confrontation, which tests loyalties and powers within the team. Though a single issue, it stands as a focused, character-driven chapter that deepens the mythos of one of the X-Men's most complex members.
