X-Factor, Vol. 15: They Keep Killing Madrox
by Peter David
Story: This was a more weird story than straight narrative. Basically, from the events of the last chapter, Jamie is offically dead. Or so we believe. This is comics...nobody stays dead. So with that Jamie is jumping through various different universes in this story. At the same time the team is dealing with the loss of their leader and not in a very good way. Fighting, screaming, and bickering. Wolverine comes by to say hey and introduces some old teammates to the new x-factor team.
Art: Overall pretty solid. This series is not on its stride of keeping up to date with the art and not mix matching again. The designs and such are always a big plus.
Enjoyment: I liked some of the alternate realities. My favorite being if Scarlet witch said "No more Humans" instead of "No more Mutants". A really sick future that is scary as shit. I also liked the x-factor bickering and bitching to each other, it makes them feel more real and like a family. The ending is leading up to something interesting.
What didn't work: Didn't really care for some of the alternate realities. The worse being the doctor strange one. Also, it felt too obvious they would be coming back.
Overall, not the strongest volume. While still fun and entertaining it was missing the oomph I would expect from the series. A 3 out of 5.
