The End of X-Factor is almost here. The long-running series Peter David has written for more than a decade is coming to an end. It’s a time to look back at the innovative series and ahead to see the possible futures of the team members.

 

Back in the early 90’s there was 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. After diving up the popular characters into the two X-Men books, Excalibur and X-Force Marvel still had a title called X-Factor. Continue reading The End of X-FACTOR

Marvel has announced The End of X-Factor is coming. Acclaimed writer Peter David will wrap up his incredible run with the misfit mutant detectives and already has a Marvel project in the works but it’s still top secret.

What will happen to the beloved cast of X-Factor Investigations? Time will tell but here are my hopes and dreams for the team. Continue reading X-Factor X-Pectations!

    Once upon a time there were 5 original X-Men (including Jean Grey fresh from her Phoenix cocoon!) in a book called X-Factor. Fans of the title have been on a long strange trip with a wide diversity of team members, leaders and twists in the team’s mission.

   Peter David took over the book in the 90’s and X-Factor became the government sponsored mutant team with Havok, Polaris, Quicksilver, Madrox, Wolfsbane and Guido (the Strong Guy!)

  The team evolved with different writers and new members (including Forge, Mystique, Sabretooth) but the title came back to Peter David where X-Factor evolved again.

  Jamie Madrox founded X-Factor Investigations. The mutant detective agency was born out of the House of M: Decimation and this has been the book’s concept since then. M, Layla Miller, Longshot, Shatterstar and Rictor, Siryn (now Banshee) joined Jamie’s team.

  On January 16 the title reached a huge milestone and kicks off a new arc! Marvel shared Clay Mann’s variant cover for X-Factor #250 featuring past and present members of the team in all its variations.

Hell On Earth kicks off in X-Factor #250 on January 16th.
