X-Factor #18 - Marvel


This has actually turned out to be a pretty cool book. I really don't understand why they can't keep a regular penciller on hand. But, I guess if that's my worst complaint, they aren't doing so bad. This issue Khoi Pham is on pencils. Like a Spinning Wheel, the creative Merry-go-round continues to turn. Anyways, Jamie has come back to Mutant-town, from his pilgrimage of absorption. If you've been reading the book, you know what I'm talking about. There are a bunch of Govt. people around, but they're actually here for X-cell, what they consider to be a terrorist organization. It's made up of a bunch of former mutants, and Morlocks, who are convinced that it was the Govt. that took away their powers. So they've decided to strike back. They're trying to get Peitro to help them, but he's worried that his power is so powerful that he can't control it. And he doesn't want to hurt anyone. Kind of ironic, really, that Wanda was the one that took everyone's powers away, and Peitro is the one that can give them back. Layla knows what's going on, but she's trying to convince everyone to just let everything play out the way it will. But you know that's not going to happen. So she gives them all an address to go to. It seems like she's sent them all on a fool's errand, but as time progress' they begin to see how all the pieces fit together. And if they don't, we do. Everything starts to converge, and on the final page, they come face to face with . . . Marrow. Overall, a pretty cool book. I like the interaction between the characters. And there really is a neat bunch of characters on this team.
