Earth X

<< < (2/3) > >>

CrippledVulture:
I often describe it to people as Marvel's version of Kingdom Come.  Convoluted as hell, but really a lot of fun.  Kingdom Come has the advantage of being much more succinct, not to mention painted in its entirety by Alex Ross.  Still, as future history comics go, Earth X is a good read.

alonelyargonaut:
yeah i usually explain it as the marvel book of revelations come to pass.  Ross had his hand in the design and execution of Earth X, all the character designs are his, and in the really nice version of it there is a compedium of his sketchwork in the back showing all the major players.  And yeah, there is so much information crammed into it that it is convoluted, nearly impossible to guess what's coming next, and will leave you with migranes from your brain expanding trying to encompass everything

Man...I'd sure love to have that.  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  I take it it's not really for sale?

alonelyargonaut:
it's a rare find that usually goes for between $100 and $150.

It's a black and white version of the comic (so i own the original color also because the color is just so beautiful) that is oversized, leather bound, and comes in a molded hard plastic case with all the alex ross sketches, pictures of merchandise and promotional media, footnotes, a whole ton of other apocrypha, a massive beautifully done poster (made to look like a movie) and a fairly shitty two cd set that has some computer content which is also very mediocre, and a soundtrack (which is pretty bad, i ended up making my own mix anyways

If you're lucky (like i was) you can find them on Ebay occasionally going for like $50-$60.

TheLanyard:
Thanks for the tip.  I'll keep an eye out for it.
