X-books at their finest... presenting the wonderful world of Peter David's X-Factor. A motley crew of 'b-listers' that you will grow to love and cherish with the devilish storytelling and continuity play. It was because of how much fans liked the Madrox five-parter that X-Factor was relaunched, and it turned out to be well worth the wait after it's long hiatus! This isn't for fans of superheroes stories, its for fans of stories, dark humour and intricate, yet understandable plotting. ...oh and t...

This is the first comic I've ever read by Peter David, a guy I frequently hear touted as one of the best in the business, particularly for his work on Hulk. I'm not going to judge his entire body of work based just on this X-Factor series (which is highly regarded), but I will say I am thus far fairly unimpressed.This X-Factor series, kicked off by the miniseries Madrox, which totally redefined Multiple Man and the way his powers function, seeks to merge elements of noir with the tried-and-true

You know, I typed in the title of this volume and the first thing that came up was X-Factor Visionaries: Peter David--which is what I think I thought I was getting when I picked this up. This is a weird little book. Honestly, it's a squad of X-Men aslo-rans and bit players: Multiple Man, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, Siryn, M (from way back in Generation X), and...I don't rightly remember who else. And it wasn't the book I thought I was picking it up. All of that just goes to show how awesome Peter Dav...

This is a good chunk of Peter David's scripts and several talented artists, including the always-interesting coloring of Jose Villarubia.In the first stories, a five-issue/chapter series featuring Jamie Madrox the Multiple Man, the covers by the great David Lloyd just rock. Artist Ryan Sook is almost in that league, too, with some fine storytelling art here. Other artists include Pablo Raimondi, who does well, Dennis Calero, then Ariel Olivetti and Renato Arlem who are ok, fine storytellers. Rec...

Jesus Christ I read this way too fast, probably because it sucked me in immediately. I don’t even want to get into how amazing the art was or I’ll be rambling for paragraphs. It’s just really really good.This is my favourite type of super hero comic- where the focus is on the characters as they stop bad guys and such. The group is like a super hero team, they have a base, they have dynamics with each other, and there’s interpersonal drama. Plus, there’s the added advantage of it being a PI agenc...

This collection has all the noir, superhero shenanigans, soap opera drama, and constant quips that you could want from X-Factor. It's connected to current X-events, but not dependent on them. The team is full of likeable, snarky characters. Taken on its own, without the knowledge of the bizarre directions the series eventually went in, it's excellent.

Peter David sabe lo que se hace, pero el continuo baile de dibujantes es muy mareante. Además, hay algunos recursos que me recuerdan demasiado al cine, lo cual detesto en un tebeo. Fuera de eso, el inicio de una leyenda.

Detective Noire meets mutant in this comic about a small investigative agency set in Mutant Town.

De lo mejor que le ha pasado nunca al mundo mutante. Y NOIR, muy NOIR.

Reseña de Eneko Ruiz para Zona Negativa:http://www.zonanegativa.com/oda-a-pet...[...]Madrox: Elecciones múltipes: Madrox a su servicio: No se puede ser más noirEn 2004, Marvel encargó a David dar un lavado de cara al hombre múltiple, volviéndolo a traer a la estructura mutante contemporánea de la mano de una serie limitada, bajo el sello Marvel Knights de ésas que ya no se llevan. En sólo cuatro números, el ambiente noir (“desde la perspectiva de Madrox“) en el que PAD había envuelto esta histor...

Okay so I can't keep track of how Doug Ramsey and Warlock are not dead. And I don't get Gambit. And I've never been a fan of Quicksilver. And Lorna Dane/Polaris? And Danger.And yet this was a pretty interesting setup to a book.Danger telling the truth and being told she was wrong was amusing and pretty well done. Quicksilver running back and forth to Havok.All and all I though X-Factor has possibilities. 3.5 of 5.

Really interesting exploration of the character of Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man. The rest of the X-Factor crew isn't too developed, but does play nicely with and against Jamie. The noir-esque story in the limited run Madrox series is nice and more in the vein of Chinatown than The Big Sleep.

No hay estrellas suficientes para calificar todo el run monumental de Peter David. Su X-Factor es digno de culto y devoción. No hay un número que sea desperdicio. Todos, en la gran pintura, son magnificos.I know stuff.

This is actually the second time reading these issues, having owned the first 12 issues digitally, although the Maddrox mini was all new to me.I liked it quite a bit, but didn't love it, at least in the sense that it didn't wow me. David's take on the characters is solid, each with their unique personality quirks. What's engaging is that they all "feel real", meaning like real people, there are some things about them you like and some things you don't and the reader decides just how much they li...

Uno de los eventos más relevantes que salió de Dinastía de M fue la nueva colección de Factor-X, y el punto fuerte con el que contaba la colección tiraba bastante de nostalgia, y es que Peter David se iba a poner de nuevo frente a una de sus series fetiche. Muchos años atrás, tras la Saga de la Isla Muir, otro momento de reconstrucción de la franquicia mutante, Peter David y Larry Stroman se pusieron al frente de una nueva etapa de una colección ya sólida en el universo Marvel, Factor-X, con una...

Don't expect a lot of superhero powers and villains but a building story where Madrox and company take on Mutant Town, NY in the aftermath of Decimation. A lot of back story for Jamie's origins and the competitor of investigations. Dark noir feel with Terry, Strong Guy, Rahne, Layla Miller, Rictor and the bitchy Monet.

So good. It's like Gotham Central, but with X-Factor. Basically, Peter David takes a noir approach to this superhero team, with the team acting as a private investigation agency. It's got a great balance of action, humor, and suspense while moving the plot along at a steady pace. This volume covers Madrox #1-5 and X-Factor #1-12 and there's about 20 regular trades worth of stories, so I have barely begun to scratch the surface with this run of X-Factor.

This is a good noir mystery set in the post-Decimation/House of M mutant world. Well written characters, a bit or humor, and a good mystery. I have to read the second half of this complete collection.
