Astonishing X-Men #2

This 2005 Marvel trade collects "Dangerous Part One" with the full Uncanny X-Men roster assembled in striking fashion — Storm takes center stage in her black costume with flowing white hair, flanked by Wolverine, Nightcrawler, a red-suited figure, a purple-clad mutant in shades, and several other teammates radiating quiet confidence against a muted green backdrop. John Cassaday's cover art delivers that clean, assured line work he's known for, giving each character a distinct presence without crowding the composition. It's a strong showcase for this chapter of X-Men history, with Joss Whedon and Cassaday's celebrated run represented in one handsome volume.
