    I've been going through Uncanny X-Men from the beginning, and there's something about the cover of #11. It's very different from the 10 covers that came before it; no raucous blurbs filling up an action-packed scene, just a subtle "Introducing the Stranger" on a billboard in the background with the Stranger air-walking and advancing on Professor X while the X-Men look on, baffled; the grey buildings in the background and the confused crowd. It's like the cover promises something completely otherworldly, and in a certain sense the issue delivers on that score. The Brotherhood of Mutants is taken out after having been the book's main recurring villains-- we won't see them again until #43. Defeated by a cosmic entity so powerful, he whisks Magneto and the Toad away with a gesture for the sole purpose of having Earthen mutant specimens to study. Perhaps the book's first turning point.

    This is one of my favorite comics ever! I had it as a back issue when I was a kid. Apart from the cover and the turning point quality you mention, I loved that Scott was in his civvies throughout the story and not in his X-Men costume; it just seemed so different for a superhero story back then.

    And of course Wanda and Pietro leave the series here and move right into that same month's Avengers comic, Av. #16. Another great cover! The first time "Avengers Assemble!" graced a cover, I think.

    The anatomy on the middle one by alt-right weirdo EVS is SO bad. Look at how her head grows out Power Girl's weirdly disfigured neck. Is she possessed by Clayface?

    These are covers from the reprint edition of all Spider-Man titles in the UK.

    1) I remember as a child wanting that comic based on the cover alone.
    2) My personal favourite.
    3) My first comic I ever bought.
