• A year of X-FACTOR stories culminates here in the first part of "HELL ON EARTH WAR"!
In a week full of absolutely stellar releases, I'm thrilled to say that X-Factor is right up there with the best of them. Everything works in this issue. If there's one knock I can give this book, it's that a lot of what goes on may be over newcomers' heads. I think there's enough of a foothold for fresh faces to join the bandwagon here, but it would behoove them to rifle through the back issue bin or take advantage of digital sales. Top marks, and a job well done to all involved. Read Full Review

According to publicity, the Hell on Earth War storyline is one that has been percolating David's books as far back as his run on "Incredible Hulk," so for those readers who have followed his career since then, it's tough not to be excited at the prospect of a larger denouement. "X-Factor" is rarely anything less than great, and with so much work already having gone into this storyline, there's every reason to believe that, like this issue, this story's going to be even better than usual.

Completely average story. Nothing of note, really.
