Peter David on The End of X-Factor

This will truly be the end of an era.

After a decade of writing Peter David is preparing The End of X-Factor.

Back in the early 90’s Mutant Genesis (when Chris Claremont and Jim Lee launched the first X-Men #1) the original X-Men left their series, X-Factor, to join the two new X-Men teams/books.

I remember thinking at the time that they just put an odd mix of characters that didn’t fit into any of the other X-books into this book to keep the X-Factor title going.

I was wrong.

Havok, Polaris, Wolfbane, Madrox, Quicksilver Continue reading Peter David on The End of X-Factor
