You had the Moonstone. An item of phenomenal arcane might, a talisman from beyond the stars capable of forcing superhuman lycanthropy onto anyone who touched it. And you kept it in an unlocked drawer in a university lab?! Captain America 402

Earth X #8
May, stop being in space! You need your oxygens!
Earth X: it’s a Bad Future and it is a mess.
Uatu the Watcher has been blinded and he kidnapped Aaron to be his seeing eye robot. Uatu has bullied and dehumanized Aaron into deleting his own personality.
There’s been a mass empowering event which mutated all of humanity. At first it seemed like it was Reed Richard’s fault but doubt has been raised.
A psychic brat called the Skull has arrived in New New York with an army of thousands of mind controlled people.
Bruce Banner came to Sorcerer Supreme Clea for help contacting dead Mar-Vell. But Clea turns out to be in league with Loki and traps Thor and Hulk in in the Realm of Death.
Everything is apparently the Celestials’ mysterious plan for Earth or alternatively events are off the rails and happening 200 years sooner than they’re supposed to.
Earth X has so much stuff going on. So many subplots. And yet if it was a conspiracy board, all the yarn would connect to the Celestials.
I’ve commented before that Earth X takes the chaotic, kitchen sink Marvel universe and tries to tie it all into the Celestials.
A few issues back, Uatu explained that the Asgardians weren’t gods, they were shapeshifting empathic aliens who looked like Norse mythology because people expected them too.
It wasn’t an explanation I particularly liked.
Then, last issue, it was explained that the Hulk’s various personas were only a result of the Celestial seed in Bruce absorbing more and more gamma and had nothing to do with Bruce’s mental health.
This also I didn’t particularly like.
Now Earth X goes in a similarly weird direction by claiming that Peter Parker’s trademark crushing guilt and responsibility complex are also part of the Celestial plan.
Uatu doesn’t finish explaining how the hell this makes sense because he notices Aaron ask a follow-up question… which means Aaron didn’t erase his own personality!
Yay, Aaron! It would have been a bummer for him to undergo identity death for Uatu’s jerk ass.
In fact, Aaron was pretending to be an emotionless robot because he suspected that Uatu wouldn’t reveal the true secrets behind everything as long as he could still second guess them.
So now he knows (almost) everything. And he is furious.
Aaron Stack: “Who knows, maybe man’s every vice and every hunger can be traced to the Celestials. Maybe the Celestials’ manipulation of mankind’s evolution was in actuality a step down. The fall of man. You’ve damned them, Uatu. You and your Celestial Host. I guess this doesn’t surprise me. You’ve set yourself up as God. So you have the power to damn. But do you have the power to save? Could you redeem what you’ve set out to curse? You could. I know it. But you just don’t want to bother with it. You’d rather sit. And watch.”
Tumblr media
John Jameson, moon werewolf astronaut, wanders into the Watcher’s home and right into an argument between Uatu and Aaron.
Which is good because it gives Aaron someone else to talk to when Uatu goes to sulk.
Also, somebody to narrate to. John wants to warn Earth about a scary something approaching from space but Aaron runs through the subplot list to show how everything is a mess and nobody is really available to deal with space invaders.
Tumblr media
Captain America uses the Lockjaw teleporter (which I guess he borrowed from Reed) to warp right into Tony’s self-quarantine. Freaking Tony the hell out with fears of contamination.
Cap tries to warn Tony about the Skull’s huge army reaching New New York but Tony is sure the Iron Avengers have it handled.
(They don’t. They’ve been destroyed by the Skull’s army)
The Skull also has his forces wipe out the Hyda. Hmm, I really thought the mind control squid would be more important to the plot. I included it in every recap.
Tumblr media
The Skull is confronted by Cop Luke Cage (who I also thought would be more important to the plot after he had that scene with Peter Parker in issue 1) and is irreverent and horrible as ever.
He’s the worst. I love him as a villain.
Meanwhile, Reed and Ben walk the streets. Ben has an emotional breakthrough all by himself while Reed is completely engrossed in his own subplot and doesn’t notice Ben is talking to him.
Tumblr media
He altered Cerebro to find Inhumans instead of mutants so he could find the missing Inhuman Prince but everyone on the streets is pinging as Inhuman.
At the same time, in Latveria, Luna starts spontaneously undergoing terrigenesis, the Inhuman transformation process. Which should only happen in the presence of the terrigen mist.
Which finally solves the mystery of the mass empowering event. It wasn’t an explosion at the vibranium radio tower. The entire world has been exposed to terrigen mist!
Somehow. We don’t know how. And the Inhumans seem surprised to realize that this is the case.
Over in the Sanctum Sanctorum, Clea gloats to a captive blind child Bruce but is surprised by Hulk and Thor escaping the Realm of Death with the help of ghost Strange.
Tumblr media
She asks for Loki’s help but he’s bailed on her. Obviously.
So Clea decides to explode New New York out of spite but Thor transports her and him to Asgard, knowing Loki will prevent him from coming back.
With the Sorcerer Supreme and Thor out of his way, Loki gloats Earth is his.
Still not sure how this fits into everything else going on.
I’m not sure if Cap found any help from Tony but he moves onto Russia.
Currently ruled by Colossus.
Tumblr media
There was a bit in an earlier appendix about how due to the mass empowering event, former superheroes were asked to take leadership positions since they were used to leading those with powers.
It hasn’t come up so I forgot about it but here we are with President? King? Secretary? Colossus.
Colossus doesn’t want to get involved because Russia is the breadbasket of the world and he needs to protect it. But Cap points out that the Skull won’t stop at the ocean. He’ll make his way to Russia eventually and he’s a dumb kid who treats this like a game. He won’t think about controlling people to do agriculture.
(If that’s the case, the Celestial plan for Earth must come about really soon after the Skull. Or at least depending on whether that’s been derailed or not by the terrigen jumping the gun by two hundred years. But my thought is, if the Skull is part of the plan, you can’t have much time between him taking over the world and whatever the Celestials need Earth for. Because the kid isn’t going to bother keeping civilization going.)
Back in New New York, Peter continues to try to convince May not to do anything. She just tells him to grow up and jumps into action against the Skull’s army without a plan.
The Skull sends Iron Maiden to confront May Venom. Iron Maiden begs May to withdraw before the Skull takes control of her but May doesn’t listen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
May beats Iron Maiden with a little asphyxiation and then immediately falls under the Skull’s control.
His creepy, creepy control.
Away from the action, Peter is at a loss for what to do now. He contemplates a Peter Parker Spider-Man costume he sees in a shop window but walks away very “Spider-Man No More” ish.
I guess Peter’s identity is out.
The appendix has a bit where John Jameson asks after his father. Aaron tells him that Jonah has himself locked up in the Daily Bugle building, the paper having gone out of business when it was revealed Spider-Man had been taking Spider-Man pictures all along. Jonah also keeps Jack Russell Werewolf By Night locked up with him, under the belief he’s werewolf astronaut John, since NASA lied to John and didn’t tell Jonah his son was going to the Moon.
Phew.
Tumblr media
And the issue ends with the Skull and his top peeps cornering President Norman Osborn in his office.
Unless this goes in a completely unexpected direction, I also thought President Osborn would be more important to the plot than he was.
Was he just a Bad Future signifier? Things are so bad, Norman Osborn is president, but also he’s not really important?
Odd.

Marvel Premiere #46 (Kraft/Perez, Feb 1979). John Jameson accepts godhood, reunites with his fiancé Kristine, and returns to Earth. Weirdly I think I spotted his comatose body in Amazing Spider-Man, under care of Jonah’s scientist lady-friend. Curious to see how that’s going to tie together…

Earth X #12
The penultimate issue. What a crazy time it has been.
Look, tandem Silver Surfers. A surfboard built for two.
Also, Tony. This is his issue. Last time he revealed that he’s been hiding in a giant robot this whole time. And he launches it to buy time when the Celestials land on Earth.
Why are the Celestials on Earth? Earth is their egg.
What is he buying time for? Black Bolt screamed a name into deep space. So for whoever’s name that was to show up.
What’s going on? Just so much. Everyone is mutated because Black Bolt set off a terrigen bomb after blinding Uatu the Watcher. A psychic kid called the Skull tried to take over the world and got his neck snapped by Captain America. Which aggroed the Celestials because the Skull was their failsafe, to keep humanity under control when everybody mutated. Because everybody mutating was the Celestial plan, so that the egg would have powerful guardians.
What’s been going on? Everything. Spider-Man got his groove back. Reed is Doom. Namor is half on fire. Machine Man is the new Watcher. There’s a werewolf on the Moon. And I did mention that the Earth is an egg!
Earth X is a wild ride.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Celestials are big.
They’re big, they’re here, and they’re going to wipe out all life before humanity does any more damage.
That’s less than ideal if you like humanity. Or Inhumanity as it has become.
Tony Stark is Earth’s last line of defense and we already know he’s not going to survive this. He’s just buying time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His latest, greatest armor is a heavily retooled Red Ronin. Which was a giant robot built to fight Godzilla and which Tony has been improving in the years since the terrigen bomb.
It shoots Iron Men as bullets.
That’s cool. Probably not efficient. But cool.
A giant Iron Man that shoots smaller Iron Men and if you look at the screencaps, it still looks like an angry, flailing toddler next to one Celestial.
And there’s at least ten of them.
But this is apparently what Tony has been preparing for his entire life.
Or so Reed speculates. He attributes Tony’s constant preparation for the next threat to come over the horizon to some subconscious sense that there was something wrong with Earth. But Reed says a lot of stuff in Earth X.
Most of the subplots have been taken care of by now. But there’s a few left.
Uatu the Cantwatchanything gets John Jameson to pull the Ultimate Nullifier on Machine Man. But that doesn’t go anywhere because the sun comes up over the Moon and John turns into a wolf in a spacesuit.
We finally follow up on Loki’s role in all this.
He was part of the trip to the Realm of Death plot earlier. Teaming up with Clea to betray Thor and the Hulk and then betraying her to get yoinked to Asgard for punishment. Leaving Loki free to plot to take Earth. But Aaron had an off-panel conversation with Loki.
What he apparently told him was all that exposition about Asgardians actually being shape-shifting aliens whose powers, appearances, and personalities are based on what people observing them think they should be.
Loki is furious. All this time as the scheming villain just because someone thought there needed to be one. He had to talk in that faux Shakespearean just because someone thought gods would talk that way!
(This feels like a precursor to the more meta God of Stories stuff. So Earth X gets another tally for ideas borrowed.)
He tries to tell the other Asgardians but nobody believes the trickster.
So he stabs himself to death. To make a really emphatic point.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The most dramatic.
Anyway. The doomed fight Iron Man is waging against a whole Host of Celestials.
Yeah.
Tumblr media
He gets the thumbs down and goes down in flames.
The Celestials smack him down. He manages to walk out of the wreckage but a shard of metal is poking through him.
He walks away from the fight but not very far.
But he looks up into the sky and knows he succeeded in buying enough time when he sees Silvered Surfers.
And the Silver Surfer(s) herald another arrival.
Towering over the Celestials even more than they themselves towered over New New York.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi Galactus.
You were pretty explicitly said to be dead.
Did Black Bolt scream your name so hard you stopped being a star?
One last mystery for one last issue.
Although I still don’t know what the X in Earth X means. Thirteen issues counting 0 and that hasn’t been explained.

The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #1 — Stan Lee, Steve Ditko
Oh! I'm surprised that Jameson's son was established from the very beginning, along with this motivation for his hatred of Spider-Man and (most) other costumed heroes.
