Peter David is and should be the go-to writer for X-Factor. After I quit reading the previous series many years ago, Marvel Now! added All New X-Factor to their ever growing X-Men books. Since House of M I never followed or read X-Men books, sometimes would read a volume or two at the local library. Peter David really caught my attention when he and artist Carmine di Giandomenico created this series and I seem can't stop reading and wanting more. Artist Di Giandomenico (say it really fast) created a really nice flowing panels alongside David's dialogue that did not alienate me and have to read other X-Books to know. And speaking of writing I like how the characters are more grounded and human than its contemporaries.
The concept of X-Factor as a privately owned superhero team might not be new to some but it felt refreshing. Especially the gold/dirty yellow color of the uniform, two non-mutants in the form of Danger and Warlock, Gambit, Quicksilver, Cypher and Polaris round up the team (to me they are like odd former members of the x-men that doesn't fit in).
This volume is a great intro and opens up to what the team will be dealing with in the future. I highly recommend

Not sure about this one until the last part which I enjoyed. Childhood relived.

Me encontré con bastantes opiniones diciendo que esto había sido bastante cutre, pero la verdad me gusto, no demasiado, pero me gusto.
El arte fue fantástico, no saben lo mucho que me gusto, pero la trama aveces se sintió un poco floja, pero eso no quiere decir que fue del todo mala.
Creo que he dicho mucho que amo a Remy y a Pietro y solo por la actividad de ellos les voy a dar media estrella más de la que merece. Así que nada mal, pero espero que mejore

While I like the look and feel of this title I never fell in love with this. It's smart and clever and I can't think of a time where I found Quicksilver to be more compelling but the rest of the team and the corporate structure it operates under never hit home for me.

Actually an entertaining little comic. The founding of a superhero team has always been one of my favourite comic book stories and this is quite good. Mysterious corporations, personal secrets, really great action and some good humour. Too bad the art is sloppy in some places and overall only passable in my eyes. Even so, I liked it quite a bit.

Entirely worth reading just for the amazing roster, All New X Factor is a superhero book that takes a motley group of mutant X-men and tries to make a family out of them. Peter knows the characters in and out, writing dysfunction and wit into the dialogue in every page, while Carmine's art is perfectly polished. I simply love this book!
