Rated T+
X-Factor has action, mystery, comedy, and corn dogs. I highly recommend any Marvel fan add X-Factor to their pull list. It truly is a fresh take on a Marvel team up comic. Read Full Review
Another fun, entertaining and quite funny done-in-one issue that whiffs a little bit on the dramatic storyline, but that's probably due to personal taste. Read Full Review
