THE ISOLATIONIST PART 4 With Layla lost in New York, Siryn and Monet on the move with the twins, and the team reeling from their battle with Quicksilver, can X-Factor uncover Isolationist's plans before harm comes to the remnants of mutantkind?
X-Factor #24 was another enjoyable read. David gives a satisfying ending to the conflict with Josef Huber. And David also makes sure that he continues to nurture along several new intriguing plotlines to take the place of the one that ends in this issue. X-Factor is one of Marvel's most reliable reads. This title treats the reader to some of the best character work and dialogue that you will find anywhere. I definitely recommend giving X-Factor a try. Read Full Review
What's that you say? You want to hear about Endangered Species? I don't want to talk about it. I wasted enough of my time just reading it. Read Full Review
Its time for M-Day to be over, though. In the back-up feature, Henry finds no more help in magic than he did in science, but theres a sense that a new hope is right around the corner. Thatd be great for this book, because these doobies are depressed enough with all their personal issues without contemplating the death of their species as well. Read Full Review
On the Endangered Species side of things, Beast and Dr Strange go on a spiritual / alternate reality journey. Not sure how Strange can traverse alternate realities, but I honestly have no major experience with the character to judge it. We basically see what looked like an Earth X reality and several others where we see Beast as a scientist, mystic, religious and other incarnations, all of which have failed to cure the "no more mutants" problem. This entire back up story has accomplished nothing outside killing another Guthrie kid several chapters ago. I just hope something happens that makes this entire story worth my while. As of right now, I wouldn't even recommend this if it was released in a collected edition once it finishes, let alone to buy multiple random books to get the entire story like it is now.
