Good:
+ The art is solid in this issue and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Even though Jamie and Cyclops are pretty civil to each other in this issue I thought the cover was pretty cool. I'm not exactly sure what it is I like about it but I think its a cool cover.
+ Pretty solid writing in this issue. David is able to write a story that holds up to the storylines that have been going on in the different X-books recently. He also does a solid job writing the characters, in particular Madrox and Cyclops. I thought the interaction between them was well written and exactly how it should have gone.
+ I was pleasantly surprised by how funny this book was and how well the humor was used in the story. It did not distract away from the point of the book and helped to make it that much better.
+ I'm very happy with how the story ended, as X-Factor works very well on its own without having to rely much on the X-Men. I think it would have been a BIG step back for the title had they moved to Utopia. I guess I kind of figured that would be how the story went, but then again, you never know.....
+ Finally, I liked the interesting old lady character with the book. I mostly liked that she is not really explained in great detail and the creepy feeling of impending doom she gave the story.
Bad:
- It seemed short to me even though it really wasn't that short of an issue. I guess for a one shot I expected a little but more to happen....I guess I'm just nit picking with this, it was really a pretty solid issue.
Overall, this was a solid issue and was pretty well done.
My rating: 4/5
Art: 4 - Very Good

I just read this as I am a bit behind in my books. I do enjoy David a whole lot in his X-factor run. I also enjoy the gay banter that happens in the books since Shatterstars return and follow up with Rictor. I just wonder if the gay topic that David brings up is there just for feedback purposes or awareness. I get how both Shatterstar and Longshot are more just Sexual as oppose to gay or straight. I would like to see this go somewhere and not just be a topic to poke at in the book. But that comment about Shatterstars old costume being gay compared to how he looks now, c’mon he is a bit more gay with his look now I think . I think that’s an example of the gay line being over used just for the notice of it.
I would like to point out I do not like Shatterstars blades coming out of his arms. If it’s there as an addition to his Katanas fine. But the use of the blades is just not as effective compared to the arc of motion you get from holding them in your hand and using your wrist. Another reason for Movie Deadpool for being stupid.
Another note was time frame and continuity. Continuity is always an issue for me and this book made a point of telling me exactly when it happens. Both Layla and Siryn are present informing me it’s after the current x-factor story. Emma Frost is still in her Diamond form to prevent the Void sliver from spreading informing me it is before the current x-men books. That’s always nice to have information like that.
Anyways signing off
