X-Factor #246 - Spoilers and Review. Ish.

[MartinRedmond]

Why would Vera have told Pip that instead of a writen note? Guess she knows Longshot will be able to tell?

[Valeria Kementari]

Was that Beast's Vera or another Vera?

[xhx23x]

Was that Beast's Vera or another Vera?

I kinda hope it is Beast's Vera. I'm going to pretend it is either way.

"Vera" is almost "Vanora."

[darknessatnoon]

Gotta say, wasnt much of a Pip fan, but David is great at what he does and can make anyone interesting!

Pip was interesting before PAD got his hands on him and stuck him behind a desk.

[MartinRedmond]

Was that Beast's Vera or another Vera?

PAD used her in a similar way here:

[jarrod]

He did the same with Layla Miller. It's called the talent.

Layla was awful until Doom got ahold of her.

[Peter F.]

This was better than the Doop issue because it ended with the focus character dying

[Atomiq]

I was disappointed when Pip wasn't part of the initial Cull, so this was a nice surprise. It was quite painful until the end, though.

[MartinRedmond]

Pip was interesting before PAD got his hands on him and stuck him behind a desk.

When he was in Game of Thrones?

[Faded]

I hated this issue until the end.

Pip was just a little too gross for this to be funny or enjoyable.

[Seresecros]

I never cared much for Pip. I was really more interested in who's plotting X-factor's fall than Pip's cold body staining the sidewalk tbh.

I felt so sorry for the street cleaners

OMGPip was the only part I liked. The rest felt a retread of Aaron's Doop issue, only bad.

So it was an exact retread of Aaron's Doop issue?

"It was a murder, but not a crime..."

You complete me

[Leocomix]

Essentially, it's like the Doop story but different. The Doop story doesn't tell us much about Doop while here we the first person narration. There's also the twist with Vera which demonstrates that she was manipulating him when he thought he was manipulating her.
She doesn't look like Vera Cantor. When was she last seen anyway?

[Boozier]

The difference between the Doop story and this is that this actually is also a story device, not just a stand-alone issue about a character. While it brought out characterization, it told a solid story in itself and served as a launchpad for the coming issues. I loved this issue, and it saddened me. After serving as a one-note character for a while you kinda forget why Pip went to X-Factor in the first place. Whatever happens in this god arc, I think Hela will be playing for X-Factor.

[J/O/J/O]

Wellokay I guess it was a decent issue and of course Layla will probably know this was gonna happen like always.
