All-New X-Factor #4

The roster is growing issue by issue and I couldnt be happier with the direction its going. This is a very strange roster, but youll never hear me complain about unusual characters getting the spotlight from those who have three-picture film deals. Its good to see a creative, vital book that lets the B-listers of the universe shine. Read Full Review

So far I'm really digging this incarnation of the X-Factor. It's witty, kind of cheesy, nicely energetic and an all around blast. I can't wait to see what's in hold for next month because Anka's cover once again makes the upcoming issue look really enticing. Read Full Review

By drawing the cast away from Serval Industries, All-New X-Factor #4 becomes a fine feather in David and Di Giandomenicos cap. If the team can continue to bring issues like this, I think wed have a great series on our hands. Read Full Review

Peter David feels like he is taking control of the title now that he has a sure idea of what he wants to do. With Carmine Di Giandomenico making wonderful uses of his storytelling abilities and character moments, it's shaping up to be a very fun book. The best decision was to have Gambit be our point of view, as his heart beats strongest on this roster. We still haven't gotten into the meat of what Serval is up to, but I'm content in rounding out the team first and this issue adds a welcome addition with explosive flair. Read Full Review

All-New X-Factor is an exhilarating ride, and an attractive one at that, but it's not a fix for the series' recurrent issues, only a distraction. Read Full Review

I will keep reading and writing these reviews, so I hope you stick with me. But I just don't see anything to like yet with All-New X-Factor. Of course, if PAD brings back Multiple Man, that will probably change. Read Full Review

On the opening page, we learn Gambit sleeps in the nude. With his cats from issue 3. We also learn Danger is hilarious. She explains how the kiss from last issue snapped her out of whatever Nil did to her by providing "direct organic counterprogramming", which reset her basic parameters. But she needs "further interaction" to reestablish all of her parts.  Brown chicken, brown cow!   Cut to Serval Industries CEO Harrison Snow's suite, where he kindly asks his receptionist Linda Kwan to get dressed and leave his bed before his wife gets home. If you were wondering if anyone would be out-Scumbagging Gambit in this series, there's your answer! see more at http://marvelgambit.wordpress.com/2014/03/26/super-spoilers-all-new-x-factor-5/ more
