You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Mar 10, 2021X-Factor #8 sets the perfect tone early on and keeps it up throughout the issue, changing ever slightly in each scene as the story demands it. Williams shows a mastery of tone and character throughout this story. Baldeon's art is the perfect accompaniment to her scripts, really capturing what makes them special. Together, they've made X-Factor into one of the best X-Men books, and this issue is a prime example of why that is. Read Full Review

Mar 10, 2021In X-Factor #8 Leah Williams, David Baldeon, and Isreal Silva try and do something different. The end result is frantic and heart racing in a way that may require multiple reads to gather all the details. Thankfully, it's beautiful enough to make rereads a delight. Read Full Review

Mar 13, 2021Comic book stuff happens in a comic book. Some interesting ideas get played with, and the writing, characters, story and artwork are all good. But mostly it's just a quick fight against a bad guy. Read Full Review

Mar 10, 2021This remains a polarizing comic, one that justifiably has earned its fans but also seems to miss as much as it hits. Read Full Review

Still not great, but probably the best issue of this series thus far. Art carries book.

Great layouts. The visualizations of the characters's powers were cool.

A disappointing installment of X-Factor. The first half is pretty great but then there's a jarring cut to the morning following Morrigan's massacre of most of the team. What follows is a rapidly paced and underwhelming showdown with the Goddess of death. I really really wanted to love this issue, but it's pacing problems makes this one of the weakest episodes of Williams' X-Factor so far.

X-Factor survives a very killy attack by the Morrigan, resurrects to full strength, and counter-attacks to break Siryn free (temporarily) of her possession. This is the big splashy combat issue, and unfortunately I think the art -- while definitely being above average -- didn't do nearly enough to evoke the full potential of the story. David Baldeón is too in love with the idea "tiny li'l characters plus great big panels equals epic art"; this issue shows repeatedly that that math don't always work.

Making herself at home, Morrigan murders the majority of the team with only Prodigy and Eye-Boy narrowly surviving. Upon their resurrection, the combined might of Polaris and Rachel proves powerful enough to break through to Siryn. But it's not enough as the Morrigan has already begun t more
