adventurous medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

It was okay. The writing was okay, the art could have been better. It just wasn't all that interesting. Basically plot driven and especially well paced. The characters aren't used all that well. It's hard to believe it's the same author as previous X-factor books. 2.5 of 5.

An enjoyable follow-up to vol-1. We got:

- More Gambit in various states of undress (always fun)

- Gambit loving on his cats (There was even an AMAZING panel where

Spoiler

the cats acted as frolicking censor bars to cover some lady bits

which made me laugh for a year)

- Quicksilver drama (also always fun)

- Quicksilver loving his sisters, which I'm a BIG ol' sucker for (AND Quicksilver loving

Spoiler

his daughter!

)

- Some delightful moments of snide Gamquick snark (not enough, though :( )

- Lotsa snark and quips and sarcasm in general. This should be retitled "All New Sass-Factor"

- ROBOT LOVE. CUTE ROBOT LOVE. ROBOTS IN HOODIES IN LOVE.

- Very sexy supervillain costume. Seriously, that's a good design right there.

- I'm just a fan of this art in general. Love me some sexy angsty Quicksilver.

BUT

I had to take a star off, cuz the plot was kind of boring and predictable, and while I kinda liked Georgia (the new kid character introduced), in true comic fashion, she wasn't fleshed out enough and all her parental drama was vey rushed and soap opera-ey with a boring resolution. Also all that stuff with Snow/Linda/Angela (+Gambit) was 1. Boring, predictable, and soap opera-ey and 2. (big sigh) WHEN are they gonna figure out Snow is Not a Good Guy? IT'S NOT EXACTLY SUBTLE. LOOK AT HIS CHEEKBONES. THOSE ARE EVIL CHEEKBONES. HE'S GONNA STAB YOU WITH THEM.

Five stars for depicting Gambit just hanging around with cats on his shoulders during superhero team meetings.

Other things happened also.

For real, this series is just so fun!

I love Gambit, particularly with his cats
I love Quicksilver SO much in this. Ugh. UGH. Perfection. I could reread it immediately, honestly.
Warlock is cute as shit.
Polaris is always great.
And the pacing is really good. SUPER enjoyed this run of X-Factor.

The only comment being, that the last book (I read the individual comics) suddenly switches to the AXIS storyline without extra information, and I didn't like this. The whole dynamic and sub plots were just thrown out the window, and this was pretty damn disappointing. 4* just because of this.

*Read the description/synopsis*

Verdict: Shows how the team handles an opponent, Quicksilver spying for Avengers (then quit to be in support to his sister Polaris) and him dealing with his conscience with his past "crimes" makes it a good read. With their employer Snow looking like he got plans and him convincing Gambit that it's ok him sleeping with his wife making me think Snow is an evil villain in disguise.
The team going public might be a bad thing or not but we will see in the next volume. Giandomenico continues on art duties and hopefully stays with Peter David until he is done with the story.

Not as good as the first collection. It starts really bad, but gets better as the story unfolds. This is not as natural and fun, and frequently feels a bit constructed and forced.
