Another Great Chapter

Peter David provides another entertaining chapter of his X-Factor series. His trademark witty dialogue is in full supply in here, and many of the characters have wonderful moments, either solely in pairs. The chemistry between M and Siryn, as they navigate their previous trysts with Jamie, is just sizzling, and as usual I'm just in love with what he does with Layla Miller. The plots are pretty good too, but it's the characters and dialogue which really make this trade great.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! LOVE <3

The first half sucks but the second half is so good it deserves 5 stars! Def worth the money.

Graphic SF Reader

I've read about the first dozen of these, however, skipping 18-24 with this trade, it seems. A group of depowered mutants has formed and organisation called X-Cell, and Quicksilver and his terrigen mist crystals is around, promising to give people their powers back. Doesn't work so good. In the second part, a mutant with the power of having all the other mutant powers alive has a plan to get rid of them all, to stop all these powers torturing him mentally and physically. His brooding scenes are a little reminiscent of The High, from Wildstorm, too. Well-written and snappy dialogue keeps this bunch pretty interesting, as does well drawn art, which, Guido aside harkens more back to the much more realistic looking people of an Alan Davis than to what you currently find in comics now.

Peter David is the X-Factor

This is a group Peter David was meant to write. The artists were consistently good, but not great. The story is why you by this title. It hasn't yet reached the pinacle of the early issues, but it's more witty and exciting than most books out there.

X-Factor is back!

After a mildly disapointing (emphasis on mildly) third trade, this collection kicks off with a bang. It maintains the combination of humor, characters, and action that has made this my favorite comic title.
