X-Factor, Vol. 2: Life and Death Matters
by Peter David
While not as strong as the first volume it remains highly engaging and well done. So let's get to it!
Mr. Tryp is a cocksucker. Remember him from volume 1? Well now we get the origin of his story and goddamn...we talking dark shit that relates very close to Jamie. All well done. We also have a Civil War tie in. While these stories and plot are starting to connect we get some future crazyness coming into modern time, big fights, and a few twist I didn't see coming.
Good: Jamie having multiple dupes sleeping with different girls in one house is both hilarious and scary. I also thought the twist with one of the members and their action was shocking and as always with this series thought provoking. I thought the ending really wrapped up nice and leads us to the next arc really well.
Bad: I didn't love the civil war tie in. In fact I felt pretty let down by it. This could have hit well but the two issues between the rest kind of feel...boring. They just feel like added in because...well events. Hits the flow pretty bad for a few issues.
Overall it was super fun and enjoyable just not AS strong as volume 1. Mostly due to the tie in. Either way still a high 3.5 and still in love with this series.
