    Leonard Kirk is easily one of the best things to happen to this series in its long shelf life. Kirk brings a new level of storytelling prowess and cinematic detail to a book which has rarely enjoyed a stable art team or entirely consistent visual style. Kirk handles all the excesses of the Hell Lord characters while still keeping the book grounded and intimate. His level of detail isn't always consistent, however, and in certain wider panels the characters are little more than colorful silhouettes. But despite that problem, the series is enjoying one of the strongest periods of quality right now. Read Full Review

    This was another strong issue of this series.  As usual.  I swear I say that every issue with this series...  But it's true!  This is probably the most consistently good comic I pick up.  So now we know why the Hell-Lords are coming after Tier, and the reason is perfectly plausible when it comes to Madrox and his unlucky group...  Of course Tier would be the seven billionth person born, drawing X-Factor in the middle of  massive demonic battle!  That's just their luck.  Now that we have the "whys" of this story out of the way, I'm intrigued to see how Peter David writes the team out of THIS quandary...  How in the world are they going to defeat some of the most powerful demons and gods in all of the Marvel Universe, all while trying to save the life of Wolfsbane's son?  Should be really interesting going forward.
