I wonder which New X-men will join. Probably Julian or Mercury.

This close-up panel of Longshot is stunning in its raw beauty.




I'm excited for Layla to return.

The "X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead" one-shot was great, and it was nice to see a fresh spin on Quicksilver. Regarding his powers, however, did he have them accessible the entire time like Iceman had following M-Day (mentally blocked), or did the Terrigen crystals just affect him enough for so long that they eventually restored his powers to a safe level? And do you plan revisiting Quicksilver again any time in the near future? He still has quite a bit of unfinished business with certain members of the team, and it would be awesome to see a confrontation again. Thanks.

I do plan on revisiting Quicksilver at some point in the near future, and perhaps those questions will be definitively answered. At the moment, I think it more appropriate to leave it open to interpretation. Isn't that more realistic? Even common? Some people look at the development of life on this planet and see a divine hand guiding everything. Others see the same events and believe it to be explainable scientific happenings. At the moment, that's where we are with Quicksilver. He sees it as a gift from God. Others will see in another way, and believe it to be a precursor for the return of all mutant powers. Much better to let things play out than just offer up an easy explanation. Life is never that easy.

This is very interesting. I wonder if we will see any of the X-Men or other mutants finding out Quicksilver is repowered and wanting to study him.

I'm still holding hope for Wind Dancer!!!!

Its been fun Shaun!!! You've been a great guest host!

I don't like the art on that preview. I loke X-Factor, but I may drop it if this is the new permanent artist.

[RafiShai]

That Longshot close up panel... My God.

I mean, is that even human!? I mean, mutant?! I wanted to scream Skrull, but even skrulls aren't that ugly.

What the hell made them pick this guy for art duties?!

[ejulp]

That art is uh...its um, interesting?

Is the tone of the series changing THAT drastically?

[ChristosSoter]

I really want Cessily to join. I hope she does!!!

I sure hope so. I want X-Factor to become a mutant superhero comic book just like it was on PAD and Stroman's 90's run. I have not bought an issue of X-Factor since Sook left the book because it was a detective comic book instead of a superhero comic book. I'm so excited that X-Factor has an amazing new artist, and is going to go more the way of a mutant superhero comic book.

What the frickin hell happened to Stroman??? His art goes from stylistically surreal to horrifically fugly. Just so we're clear:

This is his new X-Factor crap.


This is a interesting, albeit "unique" art from a few months ago's rise and fall:

And again.

Stroman's new X-Factor:



Stroman a few month's back on Black Panther:




See the difference?

[fitditz]

I don't want any New X-Man to join to get butchered by the art. I love my X-Factor but I'm so turned off by the art.

Different inkers?

Al Milgrom was the perfect inker for Stroman in the 90's. The guy inking Stroman on X-Factor #33 has not meshed well with Stroman's style so far,but maybe he just needs a little time to adjust?

[La Fea]

Yeah his art looks a lot better with moody shadows and stuffs. The art from that What If was great fun. Now its just funny looking.
