“X-Factor” #237-245

By | Aug 5, 2019 | Reviews

As we start to wrap up our massive binge read of “X-Factor,” the series is becoming an ultra-concentrated version of itself. A lot of the dated politics are coming into sharper focus. Peter David’s character work has always been stellar, and he continues to swing for the fences. We get to see a lot of […]

Mutantversity: HOXPOX Rocks

Welcome back to Mutantversity, a class offered at the Stately Xavier Mansion. This isn’t a place to find big reviews of X-books, but it’s a great way to keep up with one of the most complicated superhero series around. We’ll learn, we’ll laugh, maybe we’ll make some new friends, maybe we’ll create a rogue nationstate […]

“X-Factor” #207-219

Last time, we got to see what would happen if X-Factor teamed up with the Fantastic Four, and it was great. So great, that Peter David and company go back to that well twice. Not with the First Family, but with a couple of other corners of the Marvel Universe. We get a Las Vegas […]
