5/29/2023 0 Comments X-Factor, Vol. 1 by Peter David![]() ![]() It was a shame that Peter David left the book earlier than anticipated because this team gave a chance for even sidelined characters like Havok, Polaris, Multiple Man and Strong Guy to develop and come into their own as people, and the book had a distinct identity of its own in the X-line during a time when the books weren't particularly great. Peter Davids first, transformative X-FACTOR run in one volume Havok, Polaris, Quicksilver, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane and Strong Guy are the all-new, all. The humor lands most of the time, but can sometimes feel overtly like its Peter David speaking a dialogue rather than a character. David charges the comic with pop culture references and lightheartedness, making it feel like a sitcom, with lots of great character work (especially in The Therapy Issue #87). He leaves in #81 and afterword the art becomes very 90s, with Jae Lee especially kind of bad. Stroman’s art with Milgrom inking is great and reminiscent of the 80s. ![]() ![]() Peter David, Larry Stroman and Al Milgrom take over as writer, artist and inker. in sometimes comical situations and sometimes very serious conflicts with ideological underlying motivations. The newly formed team, consisting of Havok, Polaris, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, Multiple Man and Quicksilver, with Valerie Cooper acting as their government liaison, fight a variety of villains like the Nasty Boys, Mutant Liberation Front and Stryfe, Hells Belles, Brotherhood of Evil Mutants etc. ![]()
