X-Factor #9 is another standout issue of a standout book. Williams is a great writer- she knows how to balance plot and character perfectly. She sets a beautiful scene, and it all plays out wonderfully. As good as her writing is, Baldeon and Silva make it look amazing. Under their hands, it comes to life on the page. Theres only one more issue of this team together, and thats a tragedy. X-Factor #9 is a triumph. Read Full Review

X-Factor #9 does a lot of heavy lifting to reach resolution for most of the series plots with @mymonsterischic @david_baldeon and @IsraelSilvaArt bring their a game in this beautiful, emotion packed issue. Read Full Review

The penultimate issue of series sees action, mystery and satisfying emotional conclusions for everyone on the team. The writing has great emotional depth, while the art team completely cuts loose. We need more comics like this. Read Full Review

In many ways, Williams' X-Factor feels like a love letter to two series:New X-Men(2004) andX-Factorvolume 3. Read Full Review

Things get a little helter skelter with the art and storytelling this issue, but everything comes together if you can look at the big picture. Some strong character moments and some really fun ideas keep things entertaining. Read Full Review

I'm not sure why X-Factor is ending"the fan support was definitely there and it had a lot more relevance than some other X-Books"but we'll at least get to see these characters enjoy a big Gala... which frankly feels like this comic's place to shine. Read Full Review

X-Factor #9 is a serviceable wrap-up to the Morrigan arc despite being somewhat clumsily tied into the dangling threads from the Mojoworld arc from earlier in the series. While not a perfect series by any stretch, I am disappointed to see X-Factor end after next issue.

It really is a shame that this story is ending with issue 10. I honestly thought this X-title had so much potential. Not sure why we're losing this and gaining X-Corps... but money makes the comic world go round.

It was a fun read, but X-Factor lacked agency. Yes, they figured out the problem and the solution, but the solution was subcontracting the fight to Shatterstar. And subcontracting AGAIN to get Dazzler and the New Mutants to fetch Shatterstar.

This was really messy. Way too much was crammed into this issue.

Obviously Leah was in a hurry due to Marvel fucking her plans up, but I think she juggled things well all things considered. The part with Shatterstar and Morrigan was completely incomprehensible to me. I'm not sure what I was missing really.

Other than that the paneling was great. It was a very stylish issue. And I'm liking how useful they made Trevor's powers. It's tough being a Cypher-like character in X-Men comics.

Wow tell me you got cancelled unexpectedly and had to cram like three issues into one issue without telling me that you got cancelled unexpectedly and had to cram like three issues into one issue.

I don't even know what this was...

Bring back PAD

Series is ending at #10. Instead of writing a story that makes sense, everything is thrown against the wall and the results smear down as expected. Unnecessary data page between Northstar and Mirage. They barely know each other, now they're long lost besties? Mirage being thanked especially for doing...what exactly? Shatterstar simply going in and killing the baddie. No conflict, just a sloppy resolution.

There is a germ of something good here but execution is lacking. As crazy as comics are, they should make a degree of sense and not feel quite so frantic.

What a mess

While I have admired this series, this issue was a sloppy mess.
