Written by JIM KRUEGER and ALEX ROSS. Art by DOUGIE BRAITHWAITE, THOMAS YEATES, JACKSON GUICE and BRENT ANDERSON. Cover by ALEX ROSS.

Earth was saved, and the Celestial danger within the planet's core had been destroyed. Super-humanity had defied its creators and lived to tell the story. But for how long?

Earth is on the brink of Civil War, and the surviving heroes of the Marvel Universe are left to fight those they once swore to protect until they can find a cure for the mutated populace. Humanity has become a race unwilling to give up its newfound power, a power that has given way to a war that will lead to the end of all life, as prophesied in EARTH X.

It is upon this war-zone world that Captain America and Captain Mar-Vell begin a crusade to collect the world's greatest sources of power and weapons of mass destruction. But is this quest a means to merely protect humanity - or does it somehow serve a greater, darker purpose?

Join creators Alex Ross and Jim Krueger in this chapter of the critically acclaimed, award-winning 'X' trilogy.

Softcover, 384 pages, full color.

Books of Peril Part 4. Story and art by Craig Babiar. Even with two Books of Peril in Ivan Seethe's possession, his plans to possess the world's most omnipotent power cannot commence without the third and final component, which is now in Warrior Nun Areala's hands. With this in mind, Seethe uses his special "bargaining chip" to lure Areala and the Magic Priests to a secret volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean, where they must surrender the third book or suffer the dire consequences. Little do they know that the island is the sacred ground from which the three Books of Peril must be chanted in order to unleash their power! Either option Areala chooses is bound to cost her dearly. Don't dare miss the suspense as Areala makes the most important decision of her life, and witness the conclusion to the climactic struggle for the Books of Peril and the fate of the world! Cover price $2.99.
