Well, 1st issue is out and #2 is only days away. What does everyone think so far?
Its a radical departure from the previous X-Factor and that's a good thing in my opinion. That thing was on life support for far too long and I'm glad they pulled the plug and gave us something different.
The character interactions are good and feel natural. PAD is doing a good job with Gambit so far and I enjoy the fact that he's using him as the POV character rather than Polaris or Quick Silver.
I think the idea of a corporate team has some real potential. I just hope they don't decide to do the "evil corporation" story line again. That's been done and done badly so many times its just obvious, and boring. Don't let us down on this PAD.
I've seen a preview for #2 and while I won't spoil it, I will say that PAD is one of the few writers who understands continuity and that is a big relief. I think this is off to a really strong start and if he keeps this up, I might consider forgiving him for writing Wolfsbane as a deranged, manipulative tramp in the last book...........no, on second thought, that's never gonna happen. :-)
Seriously, I really do think its off to a great start and has the potential to be the best X-Factor book ever. What does everyone else think?
