Earth X #3

Earth X #3 brings a haunting, painterly cover from Alex Ross — a pale, blue-eyed figure gazes outward beneath the series' bold black-and-red insignia, while flames and twisted rope flicker ominously nearby, setting a mood that is equal parts dread and mystery. The restrained color palette and tight compositional focus make this 1999 Marvel series feel distinctly literary, and with Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, and John Paul Leon steering the interior, the creative team is firing on all cylinders.
