- Pretty much the only X-Factor ever worth reading
While it didn't become the legendary fan favorite that his monumental run on the Incredible Hulk did, Peter David's revision of the X-Men spin-off X-Factor is undoubtadly the best the series ever offered, and pretty much the only X-Factor ever worth reading.

There's humor, but most times it feels forced, and the villains are either overused or asinine.

The art work is staggering, and I think Mr. David would have been better served had this ... Read More
