In the ruins of what once was the planet Earth, a new race inherits the world -- mutants. Genetically altered from the radiation, these deformed humanoids rule, and they in turn are controlled by the tyrannical Sluggo. But due to a daring scientific experiment, six individuals -- three men and three women -- are transformed into the perfect humans. Dubbed the Ex-Mutants, they are the last bastion in the battle for humanity! Their first test could possibly be their final one: stop Sluggo! 32 pages, full color.
Ex-Mutants was a comic book series created by writer David Lawrence and artist Ron Lim, along with comics packager David Campiti in 1986.[2] It was first published by Eternity Comics and then Amazing Comics, Pied Piper Comics, and finally Malibu/Eternity. Malibu created a shared universe called Shattered Earth with the characters. In 1992, Malibu comics rebooted the franchise with a new continuity. A video game for the Sega Genesis based on the rebooted version was released in 1992, being developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Sega of America, Inc.[3]
Publication history
Campiti first approached Lawrence about the project in the spring of 1986; at that point the comic was going to be titled Young Ex-Mutant Samurai Humans[1] (see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
Ex-Mutants premiered with a first issue published by Eternity Comics in 1986. The affiliated publisher Amazing released an expanded special edition reprint of #1 the same year, followed by issues #2–5. Contractual problems resulted in a 1987 move to Pied Piper Comics,[1] where the series was retitled Lawrence & Lim's Ex-Mutants for issues #6–8. The same year, Pied Piper also released a one-shot publication: Lawrence & Lim's Ex-Mutants Microseries: Erin.
A legal dispute followed,[4] and after running out of money for the struggle, Lawence and Lim surrendered;[citation needed] the title returned to Eternity Comics (which by this time was an imprint of Malibu Comics). From December 1987–January 1988, Eternity reprinted issues #6–7, as well as a trade paperback collecting the first Amazing Comics issues #1–3 (as Ex-Mutants: The Saga Begins, also known as Ex-Mutants: A Graphic Novel of the Shattered Earth), followed by another trade paperback in May 1988, collecting issues #4–7 as The Original Ex-Mutants: Gods and Men.
After a legal battle,[citation needed] Malibu/Eternity begin a shared universe for the characters called Shattered Earth. From 1988 to 1990, Eternity produced Ex-Mutants: The Shattered Earth Chronicles #1–15. The publisher also released an annual publication in 1988 and the Ex-Mutants Winter Special in 1989. From 1988 to 1989, a solo series for the characters: Solo Ex-Mutants (issues #1-6) was published by Malibu.[5] The Ex-mutants universe was expanded with the spin-offs: The New Humans (1987-1989),[6] Wild Knights (1989).[7] and Shattered Earth (1988-1989).[8]
Finally, Malibu Comics published a rebooted version of the characters in Ex-Mutants vol. 2, #1–18 from 1992 to 1994,[9] as part of the Genesis Universe with Protectors and Dinosaurs for Hire.
