About the series
In the wake of Decimation, David Hine and Jim Muniz's "X-Men: The 198" (2006, Marvel) spotlights the mutant survivors who retained their powers after the Scarlet Witch's reality-altering act. This five-issue series centers on the tense, claustrophobic atmosphere of a mutant containment camp, where characters like Erg, Fever Pitch, and Amara Aquilla—alongside Cyclops and Emma Frost—navigate fear and political upheaval. A crucial, character-driven chapter in post-House of M X-Men lore, it explores the fragile status of a dwindling population through grounded, emotional storytelling.
