THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN PART 3 As Rictor faces down death underneath a rapidly lowering, swinging blade, the rest of the team finds themselves in a Mutant Town transformed into the vicious Murderworld of the diabolical Arcade!
X-Factor #30 was another enjoyable read. David certainly kicks this story up a couple of notches as we get plenty of action and an exciting hook ending.
