Template:Infobox title Ultimate Comics: X is a limited series from Marvel Comics written by Jeph Loeb with pencils by Art Adams, originally planned as an ongoing bi-monthly series.[1][2][3]

The story picks up after the events in Ultimatum and serves as a quasi-sequel/spin-off of Ultimate . Originally scheduled to be published bi-monthly, alternating months with Loeb's other Ultimate title Ultimate Comics: New Ultimates, X suffered from long repeated delays, and now serves as a prequel to the upcoming Ultimate Comics: X-Men.
