Where it came from
Agent X #3, released in 2002, was part of a short-lived Marvel Comics series that emerged from the aftermath of the popular Deadpool ongoing title. Following the conclusion of Gail Simone’s run on Deadpool, the character Alex Hayden—an enigmatic mercenary who exhibited personality traits and combat skills suspiciously similar to Wade Wilson—was introduced as the protagonist of this new spin-off. The series aimed to maintain the irreverent, meta-fictional humor that defined the Deadpool franchise while establishing a new central mystery regarding the identity and origin of the titular character.
The issue features writing by Gail Simone and interior art by UDON, a studio known for its distinct, anime-influenced visual style. This aesthetic choice was a deliberate departure from the house style of mainstream superhero comics at the time, intended to give the series a fresh, kinetic energy. While the series was praised by critics for its sharp dialogue and clever subversion of comic book tropes, it struggled to build a massive audience outside of the existing Deadpool fanbase, leading to its eventual cancellation after fifteen issues.
