Description: This first issue of Realm of X is a CGC Signature Series Gold Label graded at a 9.8 with x2 Signatures and x1 sketch.

Scott Campbell. This book is from my private collection and features some of my favorite X-Men related characters, including Dust, Marrow, Magik, Curse, and Dani Moonstar. I hope you'll love it as much as I do. Thank you for checking out my listing. Here is a solid review of this issue from Huffington Post's award-winning poet and novelist, Bethany W Pope: This was a strong start to what promises to be a fun adjunct to the main events of the Fall of X event. Torunn Gronbekk had a good feel for the characters, excellent pacing, and she balanced the time spent on each player with a great deal of skill. Some standout moments included an exploration the the strengths and limitations of Curse’s powers, the welcome return of Marrow’s refreshing kick-@SS attitude, Dani Moonstar’s leadership skills, and Dust’s strong sense of ethics. Indeed, Dust’s inclusion proved to be the high point of this book for me. After her unfortunate stint in (the equally unfortunate) Legion of X, in which she was stripped of her phsical form, her personality, all the markers of her faith, her racial identity, and even her status as a human being, seeing her acting with agency and a clear awareness of her own sense of ethics as she questioned Dani’s assumptions was a tremendous relief. After three years spent watching her being used as an object, a literal tool, her use here was absolutely triumphant. She provided a sense of ethics, a determination to act without making assumptions based on appearances, and Gronbekk was careful to showcase the tremendous versatility of her powers, an area of characterization that hasn’t yet been sufficiently explored. Even though Dust is physically lost in a strange realm of space, she’s found herself again, and that was absolutely wonderful. Diogenes Neves’ art is beautifully rendered. He balances acting and action with a delicacy that is truly beautiful. Whether it’s curse obliterating trolls or Typhoid Mary struggling to balance after she finds herself unwillingly mounted on the back of a horse, Neves manages it beautifully. Rain Beredo’s colors are, frankly, nothing short of gorgeous. Beredo has populated this world with rich, gem-like colors that lend a sense of heightened reality to this new and vibrant world. This was a strong, vibrant book, balancing action, magic, and well-rendered characters.
