What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Am I right?

Okay now that you read my annoying headline, how is X-Factor in it's 11th freaking volume. This is about the half way mark and I'm VERY happy to say it's still fucking great. Like really, I am just having so much fun reading this series.

So Jamie is alot more competent as a team leader now. He decides it's time to take some cases and when Hela, dressed up as someone else, comes in asking for help he gladly accepts. They need money after all. When he sees this mission isn't...what it seems, everything gets a lot more epic and even Thor shows up to help. On top of that we have a ton of relationship stories rolling out and most of them stay interesting. A return character, Renee, comes back into the fold with a little surprise. Everything seems to be happening all at once and Peter David easily does multiple, interesting, storylines.

Good: The relationships, and there's a lot, are all interesting and well done. Dealing with Homosexuality, pregnancy, and much more, the series is NEVER boring. The Thor coming to talk to the X-Factor and help is just great. The art stays consistently good now and the fights and such look fantastic. The ending is building up to something really screwed up if my guess is correct.

Bad: Layla seems like the odd duck out now. With her powers being still fun but her being there feels almost out of place in a way but maybe just getting used to her being back.

Overall, loved it. X-Factor is like everything I want in a show/comic. Fun characters, fun storylines, and you can both laugh and cry in the same issue. A 4.5 out of 5.
