X-Factor #1
Creators: Peter David, writer; Ryan Sook and Wade Von Grawbadger, artists
Marvel, 32 pages, color, $2.99
So? A longstanding bit of advice to wannabe writers of comics (and other stuff) was that editors wanted the same but different. And that’s exactly what this comic feels like. The same in that many of the characters here were previously members of a group called X-Factor in a title that was written by the same Peter David. The book retains David’s knack for catchy and funny-but-still-serious dialogue. And the art by Ryan Sook is terrific. Originally the nom de guerre of the reunited original X-Men, X-Factor has gone from mutants-disguised-as-mutant-hunters to government-backed mutant strike force and now to a private investigations firm assembled from various X-characters in the wake of the great mutant depowerment of House of M. There’s probably not much here to interest readers who aren’t already fond of David’s writing or of the various he’s assembled here. But for those who do still dip into the always angst-ridden and ever-more-confusing world of the X-Men, it’s nice to have at least one part of that world that offers a little bit of humor and a different tone to the timeworn tale and concept. Grade: B
