Beginning in Earth and less so the sequels but I think this series showcases the best you can expect with a shared Universe and does it better and all the way crazy more than any other comic series to come out.
Something this wild of scope is also something that only gets done when a company is in a rut and throwing everything that can stick against the wall, and Mainstream Big Two comics in the late 90s after the crash were totally in that mode.
So over some time we are going to read it, won't you come along.
We begin with
Jim Kreuger and the impossibly good John Paul Leon on art.
This is Earth X
Alexander Gonzalez
...
Christopher Miller
...
Cooper Carter
...
Gabriel Wright
Its funny I don't really subscribe to the Marvel vs. DC stuff because good comics can come from anywhere.
But this and its counterpart to me represent some honest truths about the methods of both companies and a reason why gun to my head I would go Marvel.
Kevin Ward
...
Angel Gonzalez
>John Paul Leon
He's godlike, that's all
Ethan Wilson
...
Jace Cruz
This book is also part of the reason I fall cold on Nextwave, Machine Man isn't a jokey humor character to me at all.
Gabriel Morales
...
Easton Powell
...
Jace Wright
...
Austin Miller
...
Nathaniel Turner
...
Jaxon Anderson
...
Parker Allen
...
Jose Howard
This series is also fertile ground for the Modern Marvel Universe to strip mine for ideas.
Hunter Jenkins
...
Jonathan Collins
...
Adrian Perry
...
Henry Ward
...
Andrew Young
...
Christian Nelson
...
Bentley Evans
...
Ethan Lopez
...
Sebastian Anderson
Whats its counter part? Kingdom Come? They share a lot of the same themes
Cooper Taylor
...
Cameron Clark
It is Kingdom Come because this was largely produced as a Marvel version of it after that had been a success.
I don't see a lot of similarities at all personally outside Ross' involvement.
Ryan Price
...
Matthew Martin
Hickman did a bit, what with making it canon that there's a celestial in the earth, and making Viper turn into an equivalent of the Madam Hydra in this. I think he also may have taken some of the characterization of Black Bolt from this.
Blake Foster
JPL is so so so goddamn good on this.
Zachary Sanders
Eh, the Norman McKay hanging out with Spectre us sort of like Robot Man hanging out with Watcher. I guess that, and the Alex Ross cover are really the only two things they have in common
Jayden Scott
There has been a lot more too, all the recent Inhumans stuff is small scale version of what happens in this book.
There are others that I can't think of right now.
Grayson Miller
...
Nicholas Williams
...
Elijah Turner
...
Levi Hall
...
Dominic Hill
They use the hanging out characters for vastly different purposes.
And KC to me never escapes the persecution complex and blame it wants to have for non DC books.
James Wood
Also the entirety of the T-Bomb plotpoint from Infinity/inhumanity is from here as well.
Jacob Watson
...
Jonathan Williams
...
Leo Bell
...
Jose Ross
...
Nicholas Jackson
isnt this that thing where everything in the future is just horrible and weird and reed richards invents heaven and puts everyone in it and shit?
Robert Richardson
...
Xavier Wright
Nope
Not Reed the other stuff kind of but it gets MESSY
Mason Lee
The way this series is goes is deeply weird and one of the strangest things these two companies have published as a 'future'
Ryder Roberts
...
Hudson Harris
...
Easton Powell
...
Leo Campbell
or whoever, tony? someone. is it that thing? where hulk has split into a blind kid and a mute hulk that carries him?
Michael Robinson
...
David Morris
Black Bolt noble sacrifice when?
Logan Ross
There is a Heaven later on yeah.
Joseph Rodriguez
Oh yeah, Bucky was still dead.
Colton Stewart
That last bit is such a perfect read on Captain America.
This book is so full of those little perfect reads on characters.
Ryder Ward
1999 a lot is different.
Ethan Miller
...
Josiah Foster
...
Brody Hall
...
Adam Reed
...
Cameron Morgan
...
Lucas Phillips
...
James Rogers
...
James Gonzalez
...
Noah Carter
...
Jordan Myers
...
Austin Moore
...
Mason Jones
...
Zachary Long
Earth X is totally fucking crazy, but I think it actually does a good job of explaining the overall Marvel universe. Like with the Celestials and the Inhumans and all that crap. Like why Earth is such a clusterfuck of powers and abilities
Daniel Smith
...
Brody Brown
A year of two ago during Infinity.
Andrew Walker
...
Tyler Lee
...
Dominic Garcia
Come on Steve, it's not like you aren't already Hydra.
Parker Foster
May as well put these at the end of each chapter instead of all bunched up at the end.
