First issue of X-factor I read in ages and liked it! Im glad Lorna called Longshot's original story out as bullcrap bc thats what I thought of it and PAD's writing. I was so ready to hate on him for what he did to Magneto there but he turned it all around. Lorna's powers manifesting and she killing her parents is quite the twist. Interesting to see where she goes from here and I really hope it isnt looneyville.

What was up with Madrox playing dumb about not knowing she had dead parents? Magneto being her father is a fairly recent revelation and he should know that considering he was a teammate of hers for years before this even came out

[OutcryX]

So I kinda love that lineup..also..how many "end for X-Factor as you know it" announcements does PAD have in him? Plenty, it seems.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, is this book scheduled to end soon?

 

[Generation Lee]

I love the uniforms this team wear but I feel that Rictor's needs updating a bit. His was kinda more "normal" because of him being depowered but now I feel his street clothes need heroed up a bit like the others IMO.

 

[squeekness]

I certainly hope this book doesn't end soon, I really like the team and the writing is better than most of the other X-books have been lately. It's the only book I haven't complained about coming double shipped.

[Generation Lee]

After reading the last issue I seriously hope this book doesn't end I love how plot seeds are sowed and picked up on and finished even if it takes 15 years for some lol.

 

[squeekness]

It's one of my favorite books still. I don't even mind that it double ships.

[squeekness]

I love Pip.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I need to go back and read his history with Thanos

 

[squeekness]

I have no clue about that myself. Not a huge Thanos fan.

 

[Generation Lee]

Serious couldn't stop laughing at the Polaris/Shatterstar interaction. The balance with humour, action and pop culture works brilliantly in the book.

 

[squeekness]

That why I hope they keep PAD on this book. He's been there from the start and he really writes these people well. Always funny but still grounded.
