District X is an ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics, from 2004. A police procedural, it is set in New York City's fictional Mutant Town, a de facto ghetto for mutants with extremely low-level superpowers.

The series stars the X-Man and FBI agent Lucas Bishop, assigned to the ghetto to investigate rising crimes rates among the population. District X features a large ensemble cast, including:

• NYPD patrolman Ismael Ortega, an apparently ordinary human married to a mutant
• a "mysterious stranger" called Mr M (also the title of the first story-arc),
• two rival crimelords
• and a large population of mutants whose mutations and/or personalities make them unsuitable for the flashier "super" life (examples include a man who puts down roots when he sleeps, a woman who can burst into flames but is not immune to being burnt, and a man whose sole power is that his skin is bright green).

The series is written by young British writer, David Hine , who has previously written the Mambo series for 2000AD.

The series was originally drawn by Australian artist David Yardin and most recently by Lan Medina. Both artists work with Brian Haberlin 's Avalon Studios .
