    Everybody is distracted by her boobs Shatterstar.

    Issue #216 of X-Factor. 
     

    The Story: 

    Ballistique from the Vegas arc comes back and gets one of her old friends and J.Jonah Jameson comes to X-Factor to help him solve the murder of a highly respected friend of his. 
     

    The Good:

    Peter David always delivers the comedy gold and almost every page.Also I never really taught about how does X-Factor Investigations work in NYC when JJJ hates capes so much but it makes sense and it does give us a pretty good plot.We also see some other sub-plots in the series like Layla and Rahne are talking about Rahne's recent involments with X-Force because even tough the main X-Men team know about it X-Factor are just off doing their own thing and haven't learned about it and as Peter David himself has said in an interview on CBR if they learned about they wouldn't really care.We also get a Spider-Man cameo but I pleased with it since M was basically criticizing him and telling him he has poor grammar,the reason why I like it is because I seriously don't care about the web-head.Now I haven't the Vegas arc and it seems there was character introduced there and she comes back here and gets one of her old friends and are off to kill JJJ wich should be interesting. 
     

    The Bad:

    Even tough I like the art what I liked about De Landro's art was that the way he drew woman was pretty realistic without the over exagerated breast's but here it'S the usual woman with huge breast's but the only one that sin't a problem for is Monet.Also the Spidey cameo was kinda pointless but since it was basically insulting him I liked. 
     
    The Verdict: This issue delivers great comedie with an interesting plot with great characterizations as usual.Some stuff might confuse you but I say wait until the Vegas arc comes out in trade and you will understand.This is a buy and if you want to read this series start with the last issue and this one

      Hey Look, A Guest Appearance By Spider-Man 0

      What reason does Spider-Man have for dropping by the X-Factor office? More importantly, what's J. Jonah Jameson's?  The Good It's Peter David and it's X-Factor. This title continues to be the one X-book you can read without having to worry about what's going on in eight other titles. The humor David injects is sometimes subtle and other times it borders breaking the Fourth Wall. The book isn't just fun and games as we do see the continuation of story threads such as the future that Layla Miller ...

      X-Factor has had its ups and downs lately but hits very high with this issue, featuring J. Jonah Jameson calling in a favor from the team that relates to a plot set up several issues ago.  To be honest, the thought never actually occurred to me that X-Factor operating in New York City would be a problem with Jameson as mayor. It does not strike me as an issue that really needed to be addressed, but that does not mean doing so is anything unwelcome, especially not when it makes for an issue as go...
