X-Factor #14 - Marvel


I think I've said this before, but Peter David does much better on team books than he does on solo ones. This book is great. It's got a great set of characters. And Peter plays them off of each other very well. Last issue they all went to therapy with Doc Samson. So this issue their feeling the repercussions of that. Well, specifically, Jamie Madrox is. It seems that his multiples, besides being copies of himself, are also extensions of his personality. Actually, each one has it's own unique personality that is actually a fraction of Jamie prime's. So, one of his multiples got out with Jamie's libido, and slept with Theresa and Monet. So, feeling guilty about this, he decides to clear the slate. Each woman handles it in her own way. He gets a little beat up, but still, overall, feels better for having been honest with them. But, after further discussion with Doc, he decides that he has other multiples that have been out there for way to long, and maybe it's time to bring them in. He starts with the one that's been working for SHIELD. But he doesn't do so well with that mission. He doesn't fool SHIELD, but he does fool HYDRA who's waiting outside to abduct him. We also have Guido going to Mr. Buchanan's wife and telling her what happened while he was under the influence of Singularity Investigators. Surprisingly, she forgives him. And again someone feels better for having been open and honest.
