About this Collection

Earth X collects the first twelve issues of the landmark 1999-2000 Marvel series set in a dystopian future where the entire human population has developed superhuman abilities. Written by Jim Krueger and Alex Ross with art by John Paul Leon, the story follows an amnesiac Captain America and a blind Matt Murdock as they uncover the cosmic secrets behind the transformation of Earth and the return of Galactus. This epic reimagines the Marvel Universe through a dark, Alex Ross-designed lens, featuring nearly every major character from the publisher's history in a sprawling, apocalyptic narrative.

In "Chapter 0" of Earth X, a hauntingly reimagined future unfolds as X-51 reveals to John Jameson a chilling truth: his father has imprisoned and is feeding the Werewolf—Jack Russell—believing him to be his missing son, the Man-Wolf. With Uatu and X-51 locked in a tense debate over whether the Celestials or the Inhumans are to blame for humanity’s collapse, the world’s fate hangs in the balance. Written by Jim Krueger and Alex Ross, with art and inks by Alex Ross, this striking issue sets a dark, introspective tone for the series, all rendered in Ross’s signature hyper-detailed, painterly style. The cover, also by Alex Ross, captures the weight of this fractured world with haunting precision.
