Peter David is preparing for The End of X-Factor.
The Hell on Earth War just wrapped and now the final issues will be devoted to specific characters “#257 focuses on Layla Miller, #258 focuses on Rahne. Rictor and Shatterstar are #259. Polaris is in #260” David tells Marvel.com.
One of the book’s most memorable couples and moments was Rictor and Shatterstar’s kiss. David says over time he’s realized how important that moment was.
“Yeah. Absolutely. When I had Shatterstar kiss Rictor, I wasn’t thinking about it being a big deal. I mean, it was panel five on a six panel page. It wasn’t like I made it a full-page thing and made a big deal about it. It was just something that seemed natural after all this time. This is the 21st century, why are we screwing around with this? I really didn’t’ think about it being a big deal, which is why it broke me up when some people accused me of doing it specifically to be a big deal,” David says, “I loved when the pregnant Wolfsbane crashed into Shatterstar when she found him in bed with Rictor. I loved that moment, I thought that was great.”
