Publication History
In 2001 writer Brian Wood developed a concept of the series for Marvel with artist David Choe that was to launch Marvel's MAX imprint. The ongoing series, focusing on the characters and how their powers affect their lives, friends and family, was to star Gambit, Rogue, and Jubilee, as well as Angie and Purge, two new characters Wood had created for the series. After Marvel aborted the project, deeming it not suitable for their audience, Wood used parts of this concept for his series Demo.
Later, NYX was planned as an ongoing series, it was shortened to miniseries. Throughout the entire publication, there were often long delays between issues because Quesada had always been late with scripts. Quesada himself was the target of much criticism for the delays. Particularly, as the Editor in chief of Marvel, he was setting a bad and unprofessional example. The first five issues of the series were reprinted in two Marvel Must Haves issues in of summer 2005, before the sixth issue was released in July. The seventh and last issue was released in September 2005.
