All-New X-Factor #8

This issue presents us with an interesting, unexpected development and still grows the team in an organic way, even if the team itself takes something of a backseat. I get that on a team of this size, not everyone can have the spotlight all the time but, I also feel like theres been a better balance in previous issues. The ones who ARE in the spotlight, however, are incredibly entertaining (looking at you, robotic group members) and this is another great ending to a brief arc that leaves so much potential for the next storyline, so Im ultimately still waiting anxiously for the teams further development. Also I have to give kudos to Peter David and Di Giandomenico for more truth in bizarre covers. And just what IS going on with Harrison Snow?? SERIOUSLY! Read Full Review

The Bottom Line:Playing around with our expectations about plot and delivering on our expectations about X-Factor's characters and their exchanges, this issue is both funny, intriguing, and sets up consequences for future issues. The art continues to display strengths and weaknesses, and it's a shame that some of the weaknesses have to do with key plot points. Read Full Review
