X-Factor, Vol. 1: The Longest Night by Peter David
5.0
A group of mutants is working as private investigators and, among other cases, are trying to solve the case of why the decimation of mutants occurred. For some unknown reason, 90% of all mutants suddenly lost their powers. Some mutants are happy with this, as they feel like they will be able to fit in, while others are extremely unhappy and want their powers back. It is members of the latter group that has been reaching out to X-Factor Private Investigators. As the various PIs begin investigating different cases, there seem to be some connections between them - some they see and others they don't. Then throw Layla into the mix, a young girl who shows up and just knows things, and things begin to go sideways.
The story in this volume was compelling, and the artwork was beautiful. For a story about mutants that doesn't just follow the well-known mutants of the X-Men, I enjoyed it even more for that reason. In fact, I already have Volume 2 and I'm ready to read it.
