What I love the most on Earth X was that I don't need to be a Marvel Comics fan to undertand it. You go from character to character knowing them and understanding their part on the story so everything turns out to be enjoyable fantastic.This is not the case with Universe X part 1. I found this first half very difficult to read because of the inclusion of several non-popular characters and realms and past stories that make it dificul to understand. There is also some cosmic talk and Multiverses (mind you DC) and Microverses and different realities that takes the love and meaning away from the original saga.I just end up this one to continue with Universe X part 2. I hope at the end this whole purchase pay off.
