X-Factor remains one damn fun series. It's no wonder this went on 20+ volumes. It's so freaking fun.

This picks up right where the last one left off. All our heroes are in different groups but all feel equally as important as the next. We find out who's controlling Mont, and how. We find out the evil plans of, well you guessed it, the evil people. We find out a lot more on Layla and what happened to her in all the time she's been gone. Madox is going through a hell of a time. Oh and that ending? Yeah...where the fuck do we go from here?

Good: The art is a step up from two volumes ago. I really enjoyed the fights here, both epic yet not over the top. The dialogue is so smooth, everyone has their own voice, and everyone feels different. I love the future stuff as it's not overly confusing and a enemy that's interesting. The ending is almost like a soft reset in a way but eager to see where we go.

Bad: The Layla extra issue is good but not overly interesting. It has moments but it could have been a lot shorter or split into issues. I also thought the betrayal was so freaking obvious how could they not see it coming?

Overall, a ton of fun. Peter David obviously loves these characters. We love these characters. I want more. A easy 4 out of 5.
