X-Factor #1 (MA): In my review of Uncanny #3 I mentioned that even though I know things coming for the X-titles in the future I still enjoy the different titles and issues. This issue started off surprising me. The relationship of Emma and Xavier. I must have totally missed it if it was mentioned elsewhere before, and for that I’m slapping myself if it’s true. Either that or it’s just coming up now in this issue. Either way it totally makes sense to me. Much more sense than Emma and Scott. But anyways, back to the title itself.
As protectors of Genosha, this is indeed a new role for the X-Factor team. So far a very interesting grouping of characters is appearing in the title. Pietro has a large shadow to come out from under in his new position. Lorna is more than capable to be in a leadership position again, something that lacks lately in mainstream as she is been portrayed as crazy most of the time. Sage has always been a character that interested me, besides when Claremont was writing her as the uber deus ex machina. I don’t know anything about Proto-Goblin, but am intrigued to learn more. The others mentioned briefly in the title will be quite fun to see in new positions within the mutant world instead of their usual places. Another fine title added to the growing X-World.
