All New X-Factor brings us back to one of the most tightknit BFFs in the Marvel Universe. Filthy mutie fans from back into the Claremont days can appreciate the return of Doug and Warlock as a staple to the status quo. How they will fare currently with thise team of Serval employees is the entire reason this issue exists solely as set up, but the implications are intriguing. Cut the Mrs. Snow subplot altogether and even when discussing family dynamics dressed in spandex uniforms among a backdrop of impossible science, and despite being set up the issue is an engaging read.

On the other hand, There are all kinds of cool moments in this book. Cypher has joined the team, and David seems to have a clear purpose in mind for him. Warlock and Danger already have an odd-couple vibe to them, and the Magus the kind of weird villain that I just cant resist. It's notthe best issue of the run, but All-New X-Factor #6 shows that the book is ready to move on to bigger stories. Im sold on the team; lets see what else David and Di Giandomenico can throw at me. Read Full Review

Still, it'll have to do as by the issue's end they are both on the team. Warlock appears to have a crush on Danger and Doug may still be a little suicidal. It should add for some interesting plots down the line, though I do hope that the next issue is back to the high points of the first five. The art? I can't go without commenting that Di is still knocking it out of the park and her style is fitting for the corporate tales we're being told here. Read Full Review

There was a time when PAD's previous volume of X-Factor was the best X-book on the stands. It stood out as new and interesting, with a fun focus on character and team. But the comic book landscape has changed since then. A lot of comics focus on the characters these days, giving them heart and soul. I don't see that in All-New X-Factor. All I see is a generally well-made superhero comic, where the superheroes are just going through the motions. Read Full Review

This issue was actually a bit more boring than the previous one. The pages of All New X-Factor read more like a boring episode of Madmen with the occasional super powered character. With no excitement, no payoff for the small amount of suspense, and no real reason for the team to exist as far as I can tell, this is a comic that may soon be hitting the wayside for this intrepid reader.

I've enjoyed this volume of All-New X-Factor until this issue. The good? I still find Danger interesting and funny. The art is good, despite the bug eyes of their costumes. The bad? Most of the rest. The worst part of the issue was the insufferable dialogue of The Magus. The fact that the team just leaves him there was just not realistic. There's a big building and they "couldn't make a dent in it". Really? Doug didn't know he had a piece of Warlock, but then the next moment can read the flow and locate him. Really? I'm not even a Gambit fan, but I find it irritating that he is a non-factor in this book. He could be anyone at this point and make the same impact.

I wasn't sure about this book when it started, and it grew on me. With one issue that goodwill ran out the door. more
