About the series
In 2004, Marvel launched District X, a gritty 14-issue series that reimagined the Marvel Universe's mutant community through a police-procedural lens. Written primarily by David Hine, with art by Lan Medina, David Yardin, and Mike Perkins, the series centered on the "Mutant Town" neighborhood of New York City, exploring the daily lives, tensions, and crimes of its inhabitants. It stood out for its grounded, character-driven approach to the X-Men mythos, treating mutant prejudice and urban strife with a noir-inflected realism.
