X-Factor: Madrox - Multiple Choice by Peter David
4.0
This probably around a 3.5 but I'll throw it to a 4 simply because this was really FUN reading it. I'm not a HUGE X-Men fan but for years my buddy was like "Try X-Factor" It's nothing like the regular X-men. I said sure, sure, sure. One day. Well today is the motherfucking day! I flipped this open (or swiped since read it on my phone from Marvel Unlimited) and what a surprise.
Jamie is that dude who can make copies of himself. Heard about him right? No? That's okay, me either. However, this series focuses on him and his troubles with his powers and how each clone or copy he makes of himself is a little bit of him and something else. Including able to absorb back the hurt ones of himself and experience all that pain and memories. This leads on to a investigation after one of his clones was stabbed! Hey, I'm all for a mystery!
What I liked: The art was very early 2000's but that's some of my favorite art. Also I really enjoyed the humor in here. Not trying to hard, just simple, but effective. The motivation behind the character felt right and he wasn't trying to be a hero but more of a detective of sorts. Also the supporting cast was great.
What I didn't like: The overall twist was easy to see coming because we've seen it before. Also the middle dragged just a tad bit. It might be confusing too at first cause none of these characters are even C-List heroes.
Once you get into the flow of things Madrox is a very very fun and unique book. It truly is NOTHING Like a x-men title but you get the mutant parts of it. Which is cool. I'm looking forward to reading the next volume very soon!
