Quick thoughts: Although it's a mixed bag, there's a lot of potential here. David's still finding the proper pacing for his new team, but the line-up is good, the corporate angle is intriguing, Gambit makes a perfect pov character, and the banter is as entertaining as ever.
Killer start to a series!This is the kind of character driven, unique shit that makes people love mutant comics. There are a lot of B List favs that pop up. Doug, Warlock, Danger... hell yeah. I love these characters, and Peter David is writing them very well! Also, It’s always nice to see rude ones like Polaris, Quicksilver and Gambit in the mix.Speaking of Gambit, the book isn’t all about him and his feelings and idiosyncrasies... which is nice. I always groan when he shows up, and this was me...
Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...I love Peter David writing X-characters. He always has a fresh and exciting take on the mutant universe. I was sad to see his long x-factor run end, but excited to see what he could do with a new team.And this volume... Well, it probably gets an extra star because I trust David to take it somewhere interesting but so far it is slow and meandering and well, just not that interesting. I love that Marvel at this point is still allowing authors to slowly buil...
Actually an entertaining little comic. The founding of a superhero team has always been one of my favourite comic book stories and this is quite good. Mysterious corporations, personal secrets, really great action and some good humour. Too bad the art is sloppy in some places and overall only passable in my eyes. Even so, I liked it quite a bit.
Nope, this isn’t a comic book version of that shite TV show fronted by the most punchable face on television, Simon Cowell, but a return of that ‘90s favourite, Peter David’s X-Factor. And I should say right off the bat that I was never a fan of that series - I was barely a fan of the X-Men, then and now! - so I wasn’t fanboying out over X-Factor coming back. It’s also not the best place for completely green readers to start with this series. David basically assumes that everyone reading this wi...
Did I actually read ALL this earlier? Lots of robot X-Men return, along with a few favorite mutants. Peter David serves familiar characters well, as do Camuncoli, et. al. on art. Mildly recommended.
Really I rate Gambit & his cats 5 stars and everything else 3 stars. One day I hope Marvel will meet the demand for a comic that strictly follows the adventures of Gambit and his cats. Until then, there's this I guess.
The first arc of the new series brings the team together including a majority of first time members including Gambit! The art.. to me is a pain, as I can't really tell what is going on during action scenes. The plus is the interesting Serval Industries and its CEO, the great dialogue has also returned. At the time when this first dropped I was just relieved that X-Factor and Peter David were back. :)
After a long disappointing stretch near the end of his initially excellent X-Factor run, Peter David managed to stick the landing and give a satisfying conclusion to his run. Something neither Bendis, Remender, or Aaron could do with their much shorter runs on X-titles.ALl New X-Factor does not start nearly as well as any of those series. It's fine. It's the story of a corporate funded superhero team featuring Polaris, Gambit, and Quicksilver, with more familiar X-faces joining before the conclu...
This has a great line-up for a team book, a mix-and-match of some of the most difficult mutants to get along with in the Marvel Universe. You have Polaris as the leader (still maybe a little evil), her half-brother Quicksilver (douchecanoe extraordinaire and estranged from the Avengers), Gambit (bizarrely the most emotionally-stable member of the team despite his descent into crazy cat lady town), Danger (the amnesiac lady-faced robot version of Xavier's Danger Room), Cypher (suicidal and hiding...
the series and the choice of characters make for a great story but this volume was an overall letdown. some of the issues were outstanding — humorous and action packed — while others didn’t meet that bar. i think for a first volume this could have been written better. if i didn’t have all the issues on marvel unlimited and only had this volume, i wouldn’t continue. which is a shame because this series is SO good after this.
i admittedly picked this up just for gambit and quicksilver interaction, but the style is okay and the story isn't land to read, so it's pretty good. considering some of the shit you can get this isn't a bad choice for a casual read. i'd give 4 stars but it's lacking something i can't quite put my finger on. and there's a lot of hetero stuff and you lads know i'm not about that life.
I want to like this, mainly because it seems like the best place to get some Gambit action these days. I'm really trying to give it the benefit of the doubt. Not bad so far, but not knocking my socks off.
While I like the look and feel of this title I never fell in love with this. It's smart and clever and I can't think of a time where I found Quicksilver to be more compelling but the rest of the team and the corporate structure it operates under never hit home for me.
It has piqued my interest, I love a good X-men and I can't say this is exactly what I was expecting, X-Factor being a sponsored team for a corporation, Serval. I am interested to see how it develops.
A totally revamped cast has helped David to really revitalize his X-Factor franchise.What he has here is a good mix of the old and the new, and I'm really thrilled to see how they all move forward. The plot is almost irrelevant next to all of that, so I'll mostly comment that I like his use of old continuity.
X-Factor assemble. now that there is a team, we might get to see some action
So, imagine you took away all the good things about the last X-Factor series. That's what you are left with here. The All-New X-Factor is completely uninteresting with some pretty terrible art (can't tell male characters apart). The book slowly adds random x-characters for no reason. This book has no heart. Peter David is capable of so much more. Overall, a disaster.
This was... fine? Probably closer to 2.5 stars. I can't tell if I've outgrown Peter David's writing style or this is just a particularly stilted and awkward arc from him. Hell, maybe in a David comic, a character saying "That's a Doctor Who reference" after the most predictable and obvious Doctor Who reference is a hint the character is evil? But that wasn't the only awkward and weird dialogue in the book, so I'm less inclined to give the benefit of the doubt that it's all intentionally bad. But...
Makeup of this team is fun but it ended just as the entire team got together. Why is Gambit the protagonist here? And why is there so much of his inner monologue? Would’ve liked to get a bit more from the others. Also, his accent is inconsistent. Danger is officially my favourite. She’s strong and doesn’t care about social niceties.The uniforms are terrible though. The worst colour combo in X-history. Otherwise the art is pretty.Fun read. Going to wait for the next volume.
