Catalogue note
Original first-print John Tyler Christopher Negative Space Virgin edition of Gail Simone and David Marquez's 2024 Uncanny X-Men relaunch. Christopher isolates Jubilee against a saturated pink field, turning the issue into a near-poster-like character object. Beyond the cover programme, the issue is bibliographically notable for the first cameo team appearance of the Outliers—Jitter, Ember, Deathdream, Ransom and Calico—and for launching the new post-Krakoa Uncanny X-Men run. The first printing was followed by a second printing on 11 September 2024 and a third printing in February 2025, so this copy preserves the original publication state at the head of a three-printing history.

Why this object matters
The Simone/Marquez relaunch and Christopher Jubilee design provide strong narrative and graphic context. The Outliers cameo claim requires precision about the team’s membership and debut sequence; neither that provisional claim nor multiple reprints warrants the former 8.9 by itself.
Evidence limits: Complete under standing TMR accession rule. No missing issued component is reported; comic remains enclosed in its Collect Forever Soft Slab.
