Some of My Friends Read Comics 252 – X-Factor by Peter David: The 2000s Run + Thunderbolts #25

We loved Peter David’s X-Factor so much last time, so we’re going back in for more! Except this time we’re taking a look at his 2005 reboot of the title, coming hot off the heels of House of M and Decimation.

We’ve still got Multiple Man struggling with controlling his dupes, but now we’ve got depowered mutants and an inexplicably omnipotent little girl to deal with.

Then we finish up our long read of Thunderbolts with #25, in which they take down 25 supervillains and we see who’s behind the Crimson Cowl.

Next Time: We finish up Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing run with Volume 6 (Issues 57-64)!

Today we’re taking a look at Peter David’s classic run on X-Factor! We get a spotlight focus on Jamie Madrox aka Multiple Man, we meet Strong Guy, and we get a nice new team of mutants to work with.

We’re reading his first arc in issues #71-75 and then jumping forward to a fun therapy issue with #87.

It gets weird.

Then we’re getting to the end of our long read of Thunderbolts with #24, where Citizen V stops being a dudette in the shadows!
