An engrossing mystery and fantastic character work makes X-Factor a series to not just read but be invested in. Read Full Review

X-Factor #6 begins the second movement of this book in grand fashion, presenting an engaging mystery. Williams kills it with the characterization, allowing readers to really connect with the characters. Baldeons cartoonish art is amazingly versatile, and this issue really shows off his range. X-Factor #6 is a great way to begin a new story arc. Read Full Review

With the introductions and crossovers out of the way, X-Factor can get into a real groove, and this issue is a very good start to that. Read Full Review

There's a lot that X-Men readers should enjoy about the comic, and I'm glad that X-Factor is also doing the yeoman's work of fleshing out some of the weirder questions of Krakoan culture. Read Full Review

Williams sets up an interesting new mystery for X-Factor surrounding the death(s) of Siryn! The team dynamics and murder mystery feel of this book continue to make for a consistently entertaining read.

It's slow, a lot wordier than previous issues. But that's seems to be fine because it's the start of a new arc and it feels like a lot of pieces are being laid out for the future. It most definitely is a slow burn though. When the plot gets going, it doesn't stop. I prefer most stories that don't boggle you down with the plot of the story, so it's good to see that Leah Williams gets that aspect great. The character writing continues to be great. I love the dialogue. The characters could've probably just sit around and talk, and I'd still love it because the writing is that good. Also Northstar is totally being a "dad" in this one.

Siryn's latest death is a house of cards, all of which are suspicious, and X-Factor insists on examining them. This is mainly focused on the new case, which is full of promise. Where it isn't, it's doing solid character work and detailing out the team's current MO. This is the start to a compelling mutant police procedural. As usual for the author, the script is really overstuffed with ideas and dialogue. But overstuffed is a good thing in this case, like a tasty burrito.

X-Factor Volume: 4, Issue: 6 “Suite No. 6: Scio Me Nihil Scire; Second Movement” Publisher: Marvel @marvel Writer: Leah Williams @handaxe Artist: David Baldeón @davidbaldeoncomic Colors: Israel Silva @israelsilvaart Letters: Joe Caramagna @joecaramagna Cover: Ivan Shavrin @ivan_shavrin_art Claiming her death to have been an accident, X-Factor have a hard time believing that after finding themselves investigating the death of Siryn once more, just a few days following her resurrection. In order to better serve his team and expand his education in the field, Prodigy creates a body farm to better study cadavers and mutant decay. Resurrected once more, Theresa lashes out at the interrogations of X-Factor claiming her deaths to have all been accidental. Aware of her deceit, Lorna confronts Siryn outside their residence only to fall victim to Siryn’s vocal trance powers and moving forward will now be sabotaging X-Factor’s investigations into Theresa’s deaths. I may have to do some rereading of Peter David’s X-Factor Investigations, but I thought Siryn’s vocal trance abilities only had an effect on humans. I’m glad Lorna brought up Siryn becoming an actual Siren the last time we saw her. I suspect her behavior is due to still being under its influence. I really like this book and I think David Baldeón’s art is great. I hope sooner than later we start adding some more X-Factor alumni.

I guess I'm among the minority here, but I really enjoyed this one. I think the team has a nice dynamic, and I love the role they play with Krakoa's resurrection. I think all the X titles are floundering a bit after X of Swords, but X Factor is on the right path.

I like the running theme of mutant circuits. I think there is some roughness in this issue. It seems like Leah Williams is trying to cram too much into each scene but the ideas are good, and the execution is mostly pretty good, that issue nonetheless. Merlyn, specifically, is wrong lol.

You really are obsessed with me, aren't you? Don't you have something better to do with your life?

I hope in the future you'll just stop concerning yourself with my opinions.

This book reads like a dreaded chore. So much text, none of it that interesting. Wish Rachel/Lorna were doing things more interesting than this.

I've really, really tried to like the book given that I love other iterations of X-Factor but Leah Williams just can't write.

Psycamorean is a coward who talks about people behind their back, then when people ask him why is he a coward obsessed with others, he block them and deletes their comments.

Hahaha oh fuck no ! I love Siryn. I love Polaris. But what the fuck is this? That beautiful cover lured me in until I remebered why I havent picked up an issue since the first one. This book is overtly effeminate and reads like a SJW fan fic. I am so straight on this. Never again. - cvrthebard.tumblr.com

It is funny that an anti-SJW that seems to be taking their complaints from comicsgate has a Tumblr.
