“X-Factor” #25-38

By | Jun 24, 2019 | Reviews

Welcome back to our ongoing coverage of Peter David’s “X-Factor.” There’s a lot of investigative mutant goodness I’d like to get into, but this is an “X-Men” book, and certain things come with the territory. One of those things is participating in big ‘ol crossovers, and that’s exactly what the next three issues are. “X-Factor” […]

Without getting too far into the behind the scenes drama, “Rat Queens” has sure been through a lot. The fact that the book still comes out at all is a sign that its something special. So here we are at the start of a new era. Former letterer (and also current letterer) Ryan Ferrier is […]

“X-Factor” #1-12

By | Jun 10, 2019 | Reviews

Peter David started writing stories for Marvel in 1985. He was responsible for a historic (and some would say the all-time best) run of the “Incredible Hulk,” from 1985-1997. He helped create the Thunderbolts. And he wrote a ton of X-Men, mostly through the “X-Factor” series, first in the 1990s, and again in 2006. Peter […]

“Guardians of the Galaxy Annual” #1

By | Jun 7, 2019 | Reviews

This “Guardians of the Galaxy” run has been the shot of energy the series needed.
