About the series
A short-lived but ambitious 2008 Marvel series, Counter X was a three-issue event that redefined the X-Men line by rebooting several core titles with fresh creative teams. The series served as a launchpad for new directions in books like X-Force, X-Men: Legacy, and Uncanny X-Men, with writer Mike Carey and artist Cary Nord among the key talents shaping its bold, post-"Messiah Complex" landscape. Though brief, it holds a notable place in X-Men history for its attempt to streamline the franchise's sprawling mythology into a cohesive, accessible starting point.
