Quicksilver (Marvel Comics) — Series Overview
The Quicksilver solo series from Marvel Comics explores the turbulent life of Pietro Maximoff, the mutant speedster known for his arrogance, loyalty, and struggle for redemption. Spinning out of the events of The Avengers and X-Factor, this series ran for 13 issues from 1997 to 1998, delving deep into Quicksilver’s psyche and his ties to both mutantkind and the Inhumans.
Written by John Ostrander and later Joe Edkin, with art by Pascual Ferry, the series follows Pietro as he attempts to rebuild his life after the dissolution of the government-sponsored team X-Factor. Seeking purpose, he takes refuge in the hidden city of Attilan among the Inhumans—where his daughter Luna lives with her mother, Crystal. But peace proves fleeting as Quicksilver becomes entangled in conflicts between humans, mutants, and Inhumans, all while wrestling with his volatile temper and the legacy of his father, Magneto.
Blending superhero action with character-driven storytelling, Quicksilver offers a rare spotlight on one of Marvel’s most complex antiheroes, revealing the vulnerabilities behind his speed and pride.
