Alex?

I feel I should make a slight correction to an earlier point, I bought this book under the impression that Alex Ross was the artist, when in fact he only did the cover (and I think one or two promotional pages), the art itself is a very gothic (not clearly defined) style that I personally am not a big fan of. The story was very good however, it could be said to have gone on for too long, not much more to say than is set in the future (Any more would give away the plot)

Captain America and Read Richards are Back...SUPER STUFF

The best thing about this really superb graphic novel is its use of the characters which is gritty and and well written. The art work is no less than expected from Alex Ross. After the initial re-introduction of the main charactors (Cap,RR,bolt,Namor,Red Skull and a few other favortes including an out of shape Spiderman !!!)the story offers readers who may be less familar with the Marvel Universe a chance to understand the backrounds and relevent history of the aformentioned. After the initial few chapters of Earth X the story becomes one to its self and inturn makes the book really hard to put down!!!. The climax of the story is not going to disapoint and will make you want to buy Universe X immedialty....In essense a classic in the making !!!

If you love comics, and particularly Marvel comics, this is a must have book. I'd read a lot of hype about the comic as it was published monthly, but I chose to ignore it. This is a marvelous collection of the comic, and it is a jaw-dropping read that knits together aspects of the Marvel Universe in a way that I'm sure Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and the other pioneers of the bullpen never planned, although it sure looks that way now.

Earth X - Xcellent

An awesome look into the future of the Marvel Universe. I recommend this to anyone (who likes comics that is!).
