It's no surprise that a Peter David-written, Valentine de Landro-drawn X-Factor one-shot should be as involving, interesting and entertaining as any issue of the regular series. Read Full Review
Nonetheless, regular X-Factor readers will find a lot to like here. Tangential one-shots for this series are usually hit-or-miss, but fans will welcome the deluge of character dynamics Peter David pours on, and the team's acceptance of their image as edgy loners who want nothing to do with the X-Men's west coast nonsense. This certainly isn't the deepest of X-Factor plots, nor the most ambitious use of the characters, but it is fun, and deserves a large amount of praise for that. Read Full Review
