The End of X-Factor, Parts 4 & 5 of 6Peter David's epic tale, decades in the telling, draws near its close…Sibling rivalry between Polaris & Quicksilver
X-Factor charges bravely on toward certain doom and remains one of the most emotionally resonant character-driven books on the shelf. Peter David is clearly not content to just shamble across the finish line, but to give it one last sprint and this book continues its excellent run of quality. I truly think it will be remembered as one of the best, most consistent, and certainly longest runs in comics, and a strong ending is a critical part of that. Its a part that seems destined to be fulfilled, and I cant wait to read the next two issues. Read Full Review
The art was also great. Neil Edwards was on pencils again, and sometimes the art was sloppy, but other times it was evocative of one of my favorite comic book artists, Bryan Hitch. That page of Quicksilver dodging bullets is one of them. Edwards has some great pages and scenes in this issue, with a lot of detail and character behind his work. The issue looks great for his efforts. Read Full Review
"X-Factor" #260 is a slightly gutsy turn for the book, and if this was truly a wrap-up for Polaris it might be a little easier to swallow. But as a springboard for a new series, or even a follow-on from everything seen for the character to date, it doesn't feel right on either front. I don't mind a comic that is prickly and unpleasant, but this feels like it's a slight misstep in achieving its presumed purposes. Read Full Review
