The Uncanny X-Men, Vol. 1, #253 (Marvel Comics, 1989) Direct Edition collects a pivotal chapter from Chris Claremont’s X-Men run, brought to life by Marc Silvestri and Steve Leialoha with a striking cover by Silvestri and Dan Green.

Storm Warnings! drives the action with multiple threads weaving together unforgettable moments: the mutant Master of Magnetism, Magneto, pays a visit to Muir Island; Banshee executes a startling rescue in the North Atlantic; Wolverine and Jubilee stay one step ahead of their pursuers. Forge returns to the fold, and the sudden appearance of a young girl with familiar blue eyes signals that dire things are on the horizon. This 36-page issue delivers dense storytelling and scene-stealing moments that resonated with fans then and continue to stand out in the X-Men canon.
