X-Factor #249 Review/Spoilers

[PaxHouse]

Thanks very much! I know a bit of that history but ended up dropping GenX early on. That does sound confusing. Even moreso to bring it up in the heated moment of this issue that tainted her appearance this time.

And that Penance in the Loners series was...?

.....Was intended to be dealt within during THE LONERS Miniseries, had the Mini gained enough sales to either make it an Ongoing or another Mini; but ended up being "in Limbo".

...Although, Penance (Hollow) and the remaining Loners (Mickey Musashi/Turbo, Johnny Gallo/Ricochet & Julie Power/Lightspeed) did appeared along with other super-teens within the AVENGERS ACADEMY Series.

Polaris is only good in X-factor (or when Austen writes her), so I'm glad she didn't go with Havok. Polaris vs Monet is great. I like where this is going but I'm starting to lose interest in the title.

Hell on Earth War and the aftermath should make things interesting. I do want to see how exactly it goes from there.

I have to admit, while I was happy that X-Factor was not overly involved in the whole AVX thing... I'd find it interesting to see Magik involved in all this. Or even just as a cameo-ish type thing.

Polaris was amazing. She needs to lead this team. Madrox can gtfo.

Lead it or kill it.

The boots need to be heeled, lose the headgear, and we're good.

Every x-factor issue in recent memory has females barking at each other, with the Dumpy Twins looking on in mock shock/amazement/horror/apathy.

The headgear is mandatory for a spawn of Magnus.

I truly enjoyed this issue...action-packed, fast paced with fun character beats. I am quite excited for the Hell on Earth arc.

[Mitteloss]

I re-read X-Factor #249 and I must say Lorna's scenes came off even better this time, PAD did a great job with her in this issue. The writing overall I did not rate as much but still not bad.

For those of you who did not like M's mentioning of Penance. It has been at the back of her mind since the beginning of X-Factor (thanks for the reminder, A Touching Moment).

There was a second callback to Penance in X-Factor #203 too.

I love X-Factor so much!
