Earth X (Earth X 1)

Great epics come along only once in a long while. Stories that push the normal boundaries and force the reader to think. Stories so powerful in message and so grand in scale that the guidelines by which tales are usually judged are completely rearranged. Earth X is one such epic. X-51. The Skull. The Iron Maiden. These are a few of the names that comprise the Earth X cast. The list of equally exciting locales and story points help Earth X explore the depths and heights of the Marvel universe, from the roots of its humble beginnings to the peak of its ultimate potential. Earth X is spawned from the brilliant creative mind of Alex Ross. Along with writer Jim Krueger and artists John Paul Leon and Bill Reinhold, Ross breathes life into and gives amazing detail to every facet of the Earth X mythos - made evident by everything from his early conceptual pencil sketches to each of his fourteen beautifully painted covers.
