X-Factor #26 - Marvel


Lots of stuff going on this issue. First of all great story by Peter David. And fantastic art by Scott Eaton. Scott and Charles are fighting over tactics. Charles thinks they need to step back and assess the situation. Scott thinks that they can't wait and they need to strike. Which is why he's asked Wolverine to put X-Force back together. This worries Charles. But as Scott says, "Charles, you trained me. Let me do my job." Meanwhile, Cable has the baby and is somewhere in Canada racing god knows where. But Lady Deathstrike, and her group of . . whatever they are . . . catches up to him. It's a little hard to fight someone, especially as intensely as Cable does, with a little baby strapped to your chest. At the same time, Predator-X is racing, and eating, his way across Canada. I think he's heading for Westchester, but I'm not sure. And really, other than his victims, nobody really knows he's even out there. In the future Jamie and Layla have found the Mutant Relocation Camp. They try to pummel some information out of some guards, but then decide that maybe their best bet is to just try to find out what they can on the inside. So they let themselves get arrested. And, now that X-Force is back together again, their first mission is to go to Cooperstown Alaska and try to pick up Cable's trail. Wolverine doesn't trust Thunderbird because he was with Cable when Cable let X-Force. So he thinks his allegiances my be sketchy. But in typical X-Force fashion, they aren't very stealthy. The authorities are converging on their location, the hospital, just as they're trying to get away. Nothing's ever easy for them. The next chapter is in New X-Men #45. I like the way this story is shaping up.
