X-Factor #27 Review

X-FACTOR #27
Written by Peter David

This was a better outing than the last chapter, but I still feel like they are holding back, as if they can't tell us the whole story yet because they need to pad out a few more chapters with 'decompressed' filler.

I loved the Madrox and Layla scenes here, but they felt like guest stars in their own book. Layla killed Madrox's dupe so that it would return the information about Bishop to the prime Madrox. Madrox wakes up and the M is still seared into his face. Not sure what happens with Layla, but she knows stuff and should show up again. Oh ya, the baby is evil and ends up killing a million flatscans based on what future Bishop says.

Meanwhile, the X-Men make their way to Muir Island to take down the Marauders. X-Force is leading the charge though and I can't see how they will defeat the Acolytes and Marauders along with Mystique, Gambit and Sunfire. Why is Sinister not mentioned? Well, Mystique killed him and is teaming up with Gambit to secure the baby or something. I'd love to see how she accomplished that feat since they had it all done off panel. Finding out why would be nice, too.

Verdict - Check It
