  There were some good jokes, the art was top notch, and there was plenty of action and strong character moments. Darwin was an acceptable narrator, despite all of the flaws in his very existence I mentioned above. I think Rahne was shuffled out of this comic a little too quickly, but she's a victim of some stupid storylines of her own, none of which were Peter David's fault. He did his best with such a broken, misshapen version of Rahne, but maybe she could use a break. Rictor and Shatterstar didn't do much of anything, but maybe they'll get more to do in the new X-Factor. Read Full Review

  Im not saying I didnt likeX-Factor.I still think the book is quite solid. The biggest problem with this book is just making it seem important or fun. This issue was more of a letdown to me, but fans of Wolfsbane, Darwin, and even Rictor should love this chapter. Read Full Review

  In the end, there'san entertainingmix of action and plot progression to be found in this issue. The book is primarily a means of re-racking David's hanging plot threads, but it manages to carry enough dramatic tension to remain enjoyable. Things are heating up in Rahne's family, but the biggest surprises may be waiting in the form of Darwin and his connections to Asgard. Read Full Review
