    matkrenz's X-Factor #215 - Stake Out review

    This marriage would have ended badly anyways.

    Issue 215 of X-Factor. 
     
    The Story: Jamie and Layla investigate the murder of a man who was killed by a vampire after the events of the "Curse of the Mutants" storyline who the client thinks her stepmother killed him. 
     
    The Good: Peter David knows how to put comedie well in this by using Jamie's dupe's well,big plus for having a Dirty Harry dupe.Also we get development with Layla's subplot of her learning magic from Dr.Doom that was from issue 200 to 203 (I haven't read it but I will get the trade) and it's turning up to be a pretty good mysterie as to why she wants to learn magic and there is a progression of Jamie and Layla's relationship.I must commend Peter David for doing research for ancient magic from Ethiopia.Also this is a good way of using the recent events from the other important X-Men books to show how this affects the world in a little way that makes sense.Also I liked De Landro's art here more than in issue #213. 
     
    The Bad: The inking is kinda bad in some places. 
     
    The Verdict: This is a nice one in done issue with Jamie and Layla with great humour,great character development,a very emotional scene in one page and good art.This is a buy and a great jumping on point and next issue we get SPIDEY.

      X-Factor #215 - Stake Out by carnivalofsins00 on February 10, 2011

      X- Factor is back from Vegas and they just can't seem to catch a break, can they?  The Good: This is one of the darkest issues of X- Factor that I have read in recent memory. A woman hires X- Factor to find her dad's killer, who appears to be a vampire. Fortuanetly, it is much more then that. It is a really fun, self contained issue with some of that Peter David humor sprinkled along. I don't really have many words to describe how good this series is issue after issue without repeating myself so...
