    matkrenz's X-Factor #221 review

    Yeah well im building a TARDIS!

    Issue #221 of X-Factor. 
     
    The Story: Rahne and Star start running back to the office while being chased by various demons and the ghost of Feral talking to them. Back at the office Layla is putting up magic protection and apparently the person who sent Pip here is somehow involved. 
     
    The Good: Everybody knows the routine, great humour between Star and Rahne involving Star's inability to drive car's from issue #206 and him wanting know how a naked pregnant woman looks like and Rahne'S reaction to these are priceless. Also them being chased by demons and it ups the tention because Rajne's baby is something coveted by many powerful foes and it will be interesting to see what happens. Also Layla is showing that she knows stuff about whats going to happen and in a scene that is reminiscent of the 10th episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (SHUT UP, the writing on that show is great and it can be enjoyed by everybody) she doesn't say why she is doing all this but the teams figures that she hasn't been wrong before. The conversation with Feral and Rahne about cannibalism is pretty creepy. 
     
    The Bad: Most of the art feels under inked and unfinished, so some of the faces look odd. 
     
    The Verdict: This is another great issue that continues the story in an effective manner mixes humour and action with easy but the only draw back is the art at some places. This is a buy.

      I really liked issue 220.  This one just seems like a tedious repetition of the end of 220.  Yes, I get it, demons are after her.  Yes, they can't really be killed.  I got it.  I think this is one of those issues that'll read better in the trade paperback.  (Especially when combined with the investigation that led to her pregnancy by an Asgardian god) Because it's literally one undefeatable demon after another.  They disable one, run a bit, and get hit by another.  Meanwhile, back at HQ, some of...
