NYX is a comic book series by Marvel Comics launched in fall 2003, written by Joe Quesada with art by Joshua Middleton (issues #1-4) and Rob Teranishi (issue #5).

The series is about a group of homeless teenage mutants in New York and featured the first comic book appearance of X-23, a character originally created for the X-Men: Evolution cartoon.

The first five issues of the series are being reprinted in two Marvel Must Haves issues in summer 2005, before the sixth issue will finally be released in July 2005 after some delays (Quesada had always been late with scripts, causing issues to ship late, then Middleton left the book after issue #4 and new penciler Teranishi supposedly broke his hand after finishing his first issue).

Brian Wood's concept

In 2001 writer Brian Wood had developed a concept of the series for Marvel with artist David Choe that was to launch Marvel's MAX imprint. The on-going series, focusing on the characters and how their powers affect their lifes and their friends and family, was to star Gambit, Rogue, and Jubilee, as well as Angie and Purge, two new characters Wood had created for the concept.

After Marvel, apparently deeming it not suitable for their audience, aborted the project (resulting in some very nasty comments on Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada by David Choe [1]), Wood used parts of this concept for his series Demo .
