  I've long considered X-Factor the most reliable, consistently well-written X-title since its first story arc. Peter David comes to the title with a love for the characters that's tangible on every page, and Madrox as the unlikely main lead gives the title a sense of humanity. As always, this issue of X-Factor delivers everything readers have come to expect. Read Full Review

  So why Peter David isn’t promising to blow your socks off each month now with shocking cliff hangers in X-Factor, he does still seem to be sticking to his promise that the quality of the book is on the rise.

  There's very little to criticize about X-Factor as it stands -- Valentine DeLandro's work is light years ahead of most of the book's previous artists, and it's particularly nice, as a reader, to see some consistency on a book that'd been dogged by artistic reshuffles in recent years. It might not be quite so obviously the best X-title around anymore, but it makes me care about the characters and never fails to leave me ready for another issue. In that respect, it's got everything I'm after in a comic. Read Full Review
