X-Factor, Vol. 5: The Only Game In Town by Valentine De Landro, Pablo Raimondi, Peter David
3.0

This is the weakest volume in the series so far. Saying that, it's still good!

So now we're dealing with the gamemaster and him destroying mutant town. Pretty fucked up, huh? but it's not X-Factor with our pals Jamie and crew dealing with life issues and relationship problems. When everyone begins to drift away and the events of Massiah complex taking our Laila away, we begin to have everyone going different ways. Oh yes, and someone is prego. Because nothing like baby-mama drama!

Good: I liked all the character's interaction and of course them dealing with each other. They all act so human-like it's great. The art is still very unique and special and I really enjoy it. Oh and the ending...well damn, where we going from here?

Bad: I thought the gamemaster or whatever was a weak villain. Also the whole big bad shield like people coming in was kind of been there done that.

Even at it's weakest X-Factor is still plenty entertaining. As long as this is the worst I'm going to love the whole series. A 3 out of 5.
