Thought that 5 clawed guy in Wolverine's book got rid of all the "feral" type mutants. Curious to see who's in this pack.

[Generation Lee]

No Romulus reverted them all back to their feral states in some cases minus their mutant abilities that came with their feral state. In other words they just looked feral.

[Colossal Spoons]

Ahhhh, then he killed Feral

“Forgive Me, Father, For I Have KILLED!”

Hoping to be absolved of recently committed sins before she gives birth, Wolfsbane goes to confess...but it isn’t forgiveness that awaits her. In fact, she’s going to have to face her demons head on. Literally! (Oh, and that baby she’s carrying? Turns out that it’s not quite what she expected either.) The next X-citing chapter of X-FACTOR begins here!

lol, Star is like a factory of perfectly awkward moments.

[Generation Lee]

Seriously thanks to Star I'm liking Wolfsbane again. They need another arc together, a roadtrip somewhere.

David said that “X-Factor” #230, tying in with “Schism,” “is one of my favorite scripts I've ever turned in.” He said he enjoys the team dynamic of “people sitting around talking about what's going on,” and that the “personality-driven” tone of “Schism” fits very well with what he's doing in the series. Rahne's baby will be born soon in a story that “leads to the death of one of the team,” followed immediately by the “Schism” crossover.

David also described working with oncoming artist Leonard Kirk previously on "Supergirl" as "a highlight of my career," and described him as "an artist who you know, whatever you throw at him, he can handle it."

David was asked whether Scarlet Witch's returning Rictor's power in "Children's Crusade" and how involved he was. "Well, they called me about it and explained the story reason—it wasn't just like, 'we're doing this, suck it, David!" The change will be reflected beginning in "X-Factor" #225. He did not incorporate the shift immediately in order to avoid spoiling "Children's Crusade" in the event that miniseries ran late.

David added, "He displays his powers to Shatterstar, and the first thing he says is, 'I can't wait to show Rahne.' And Shatterstar says, 'Excuse me?'" This will complicate their relationship to a new degree.

I love when changes made in comic events are permanent and not just temporary shock value(see: Rictor's repowering)

[Kevin]

I find it interesting that Rictor gets to keep his powers.

[Manic]

Now here's hoping Wanda can fix Dani Moonstar and Jubilee before she abruptly gets killed in Children's Crusade. That way Marvel can keep their idiotic M-Day mutant population without any effects being seen among the X-Men.

[Generation Lee]

So that is Rictor and Chamber repowered so that makes up for losing Cable & Nightcrawler. Damn you Marvel your still keeping the mutant population down!!!! Cannot wait to see how this changes Rictor.

“HARD LABOR” Conclusion!
About to give birth and on the run from mutants, demons and gods alike, Wolfsbane turns to the only ones she feels she can trust: her own kind. But even with the help of THE PACK, will Wolfsbane and her baby survive the ordeal? And considering some believe the baby to be the harbinger of the end of the world, do we even want them to?

If Peter David ever wants to take a break Alan Heinberg should fill in, he totally has their voices down perfectly. Picked up the issue of Children's Crusade just to see Rictor repowered, I originally wanted to pick it up as a trade but I thought screw it Wanda repowers someone!!!!!!
