Williams, Baldeon, and Silva trick readers in the best way, transforming our expectations into something completely different. Read Full Review

The new storyline really kicks into high gear with this issue, with a lot of great character work to help carry it along. X-Factor is firing on all cylinders when it comes to storytelling and art. Read Full Review

Overall this book continues to be a juggernaut in the x-lineup. It’s one of the best series not only for LGBTQ2IA+ representation but for deep emotional relationships and stories with a fun quirkiness to them. Don’t sleep on this series. Read Full Review

Williams and Baldeon are at their best here and this is, without a doubt,X-Factor'sbest arc yet --and it only seems to be getting more exciting by the minute. Read Full Review

X-Factor #7 is a good comic. Williams focuses a lot on the characters, but the issue is very slow-paced. It kind of makes the main plot feel unimportant in a lot of ways, almost like it's just incidental to everything else. The whole Siryn mystery is resolved rather quickly, but the end of the issue cliffhanger does a great job in making it feel more important than the rest of the story does and works very well. Baldeon's art is great, but that's pretty much his default setting at this point. X-Factor #7 works, but it doesn't balance the character drama with the main plot very well and almost fumbles the ball. Read Full Review

It's easy to see why this is such a fan-favorite comic, but it can still be a frustrating read at times. Read Full Review

Another entertaining issue of X-Factor from Williams and Baldeon! As per usual, most cast members get a moment or two to shine, further proving Williams' talent for writing team books. I'm invested in this Siryn-centric story and the tease at the end promises a pretty intense showdown between X-Factor and Morrigan.

I really enjoyed this one. Also, Age of X being referenced makes 2019 me relieved that I didn't totally waste my time with that event.

multiple man on the page for a panel, blessed content, miss that dude

Writer can dialogue and does understand how pheromones work.

X-Factor's Siryn investigation is delayed by her hypnotizing Polaris, and Daken pays the price. I really like what we learn about the characters and how they interact. The art's good, too. But organization and structure remain this title's weak spots; no matter how much I like the material, I can't overlook that it could be presented much more clearly without sacrificing any of its positives.

While Daken trails Siryn’s activity, the remainder of X-Factor continue their investigation into her odd behavior as of late. Daken reports his findings back to the team but a mind manipulated Polaris fails to relay that information. Eye Boy discovers her deceit and a psychic probing by Rachel reveals Siryn to still be under the influence of the Morrigan after all! Northstar races to Daken’s last known whereabouts and finds him impelled and near death. Later in the evening as he heals from his wounds, Daken wanders the Boneyard and happens upon an oddly behaved Prodigy and Eye Boy, who shockingly announce the deaths of their fellow teammates. Turning around, Daken finds the bodies of Northstar and Aurora, seemingly murdered in a strange sacrifice.

This book is making me a fan of Daken for the first time in forever. I’m watching too much Disney+ with my daughter because I just quoted Frozen. I was happy to see a brief cameo by Madrox. Hope to see more classic X-Factor members show up and hopefully stick around. Very curious to learn what craziness just occurred in the final pages here.

Poorly paced. Some scenes take their time and then others just zoom by so quickly you don't even understand the seriousness of the situation. Some panel layouts were pretty bad too, and the retcon on Daken's powers is so cowardish. Just accept that your character's powerset has a problem and build the story around it.

At least one of the scenes that took it's time was pretty good, which is Speed's.

Wy all the characthers sound like annoyed teenagers? damn, bad writting all over the place, why repeat the same things again and again about the powers? Gosh this is so bad
