"So, meh, everyone who had such a complaint is wrong" I don't think so. The complaint is very valid and very common. Don't be childish
DANCE OF DEATH!
The team gets their first case - investigating the disappearance of a mutant dancer at a prestigious ballet academy...in the Mojoverse!
Rated T+
X-Factor #2 presents a brand new look at Mojoworld that's perfect- it's exactly the right kind of evolution for a place obsessed with entertainment. Williams keeps the whole thing nice and light with the dialogue, but it doesn't sabotage the book's tone at all. Baldeon's art is the icing on the cake. X-Factor #2 builds an intriguing mystery- what happened in Mojoworld and who was murdered- and keeps things light and exciting. Read Full Review
Leah Williams, David Baldeon, and Israel Silva bring their A-game to X-Factor #2. They make a comic that is equal part heart and humor and an all-around pleasure to read. Read Full Review
Nothing like a good looking, lighthearted ensemble book to add to the X-line varied styles of storytelling. Certainly worth the coin. Read Full Review
David Baldeon is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists with his work in this issue. Besides the dynamic characters and panel progression, the backgrounds come alive with energy and detail. I love the look of this book a lot and the reveal of Mojo was beautifully done. I could see a print of that image hanging from someone's wall. Read Full Review
Overall, this was another fun issue. My biggest complaint is that when I got to the end I was absolutely craving more. This is not to say I didnt enjoy it, it was a lot of fun, but I absolutely devoured this issue so quickly. Read Full Review
In terms of the story, not much happens in this issue. I am finding that this series is carrying itself on the snark and dialogue alone, but that's okay because I could read a full day's worth of banter between X-Factor members, especially when Daken is involved. If you are looking for some classic X-Men snark, you have come to the right place. Read Full Review
Overall ‘X-Factor’ boldly stamps its place in the ‘Dawn of X’ line-up as a must read series. It’s bright, fun and wacky. Go read it! Read Full Review
While there are still some lingering narrative issues (this month's chapter just...ended), it's still a big improvement from the opening chapter. Read Full Review
X-Factor #2 is far from a self-serious issue. Its creative team presents a fun, wacky story in Mojoworld. Some of the characterizations can be a little shallow at times, as members of X-Factor are either scowling and serious or quippy, although eventually, everyone gets a quip or two in. Read Full Review
"X-Factor" #2 is a well-written title with some visual inconsistencies holding the quality back. Read Full Review
X-Factor #2 is a refreshing change of pace from all the other X-Men comics we are getting. The team is still growing and learning to work together as the new resident detective agency on Krakoa. Leah Williams takes that concept and runs with it as we see the team growing their chemistry. Having the story set in Mojoverse added to the fun to this latest mystery X-Factor are on. More issues like this and X-Factor could quickly be one the better Marvel titles. Read Full Review
X-Factor Investigations is back in business! With a new team, they head into Mojoverse after receiving a mysterious package. Read Full Review
The writing is still mostly fun, and the groundwork continues to build for character interaction, but I feel like this issue loses itself in the grand, otherworldly scope it's trying to set up. Read Full Review
Wasn't expecting to enjoy it. It was pretty fun!
The team investigates a mutant missing in Mojoworld. Williams handles the chemistry between her characters pretty well and proves to be capable of giving each character their moment in the spotlight. Though I would have liked to see more from Rachel given she was Mojo's slave for a while back in Claremont's run. The artwork is growing on me too and overall I think this issue is an improvement over the first.
This issue is getting a lot of hate because of its alleged Tumblrism, and as someone who has been dragged kicking and screaming into a Tumblr blog here and there, I don't see the issue. It's actually a lot more tame than I thought it would be. So, meh, everyone who had such a complaint is wrong. This was a fun issue and I like seeing these characters interact. Daken is probably the best part of the issue so I hope he's not actually gone.
Awesome Baby is a less-charismatic Jeff the Landshark. Which clued me in to the bigger picture: This title is Kelly Thompson's West Coast Avengers with a mutant cast-swap. (And a less-talented author.) #2 was more fun than #1, though. And I was a fan of the last volume of WCA, so I'm not really put off by the parallels.
This series is just rough around the edges. Like, aside from the art, I enjoyed the majority of this, but every once in a while, there'll be a two-page stretch that's abnormally awful in terms of writing. I don't know. I definitely see a lot of potential here.
Art 3.5/5
Story 3.5/5
Every time I read this comic I am filled with trepidation, and actually finishing it doesn’t make the trepidation go away.
I want to like it, but I just didn't. There were parts I liked, such as Daken, Rachel, and Eyeboy's characterisation, but I am not yet convinced to continue reading this as a series. I do still have hope however, as this is still an interesting cast, premise and creative team.
Leah Willians is just not good. She writes every single character as if they were 15-year-old twitter/tumblr users full on snark and banter all the time. It's exhausting. It's like she writes for the sole purpose of fishing for reactions of a small but vocal twitter fanbase.
I wish they would do detetive stuff on this Issue. Some dialogues here are a little bad
I am also a bit disappointed Aurora is immediately sidelined but I guess it'll take her some time to return to active-duty.
Yikes this is hard to get through...
Dreadful dialogue. Artwork barely adequate.
I really liked the costumes.
But the writing is so forced to keep it fun, that forgets to get the story going.
Worst comic i have read after about 4 months of being into the hobby. Jokerman would give this a 1 and id respect it
Definitely not for me. I don’t understand the appeal of these silly books. I gave it another issue but won’t buy #3. Bummer because I like a lot of these characters.
I really wanted to like X-factor. Some of my favorite characters of all time are here and I really liked Leah's Gweepool and the X-tremists, but this is bad. Just bad.
A comic book needs more than fun and snark to work. The dialogue here is bad and Leah is trying too much, and it didn't work to me. A lot of characters here have the same voice and even the art is not that good
Did the writer get the memo that she's suppose to writte a comic book and not some bad fanfic? The text try to hard to be fun, but it feels like some really bad tumblr/twitter talk, like some old man trying to keep it with the kids, it's extra cringe, try harder Williams.
