It seems like everything is about to change for these guys also. Jamie has been on this quest to gather up all his dupes. Some of them have been out there for so long, they've started living their own lives. And some of them, like the one he's trying to absorb this issue, wants so much not to go back, that he's poisoned himself, because he knows that if Jamie absorbs him, he himself will also be poisoned. Guido is working with Rahne. But honestly? I think he's a little scared of her. Theresa and Monet are fighting some of the Morlocks, whom also no longer have their powers. But it's hard to reason with them, because they believe the Govt. is responsible for taking away their powers, and since X-factor works for the Govt., they are the man's stooge. And X-Factor has decided that they aren't going to tell anyone that the whole thing was the Scarlet Witch's fault. She herself a mutant. They manage to take them down, but not before Theresa and Rictor get shot. Monet takes Theresa back to the headquarters to get fixed up. But Rictor . . . gets gathered up by Pietro. He says he wants to help Rictor, and in return Rictor will help him. With his earth based powers, Pietro believes he can bring their race back to life, as it were. He's also got some people to help him. Callisto, Abyss and the Reaper. As this issue ends, it looks as if Rictor has made a deal with the devil. I really like the direction this book has taken. There's a lot of cool characters in this title, and Peter David seems to be making use of all of them. I also like Khoi Pham's artwork. It's not flashy. But it is nice in this book. Overall, I think it's a great story.
