Why Earth X Is the Forgotten Marvel Classic That Deserves a Second Look
The 14-issue series known as “Earth X” showcased a tale that openly flaunted its affinity for the Silver Age of Marvel Comics. This remarkable work serves equally as an expression of affection for Marvel, as it does as a masterful story. Typically, the ’90s aren’t associated with being a golden age for Marvel fans; while there were some excellent books, the era was also lacking in timeless stories like those found in previous and subsequent decades. However, by the end of the decade, things began to change, and “Earth X” stands as an exemplary illustration of Marvel’s transformation, a change that deserves far more recognition than it has received since its publication.
