I am absolutely gutted that All-New X-Factor has come to an end. The writing was flawless and consistently intriguing. The artwork was fantastic and original. The final chapter makes it obvious how much more potential this series had. I sincerely hope Marvel realises this and brings this superb book back in the future.

There were a lot mediocre Marvel books around at this time, and even Peter David caught the bug... Once again it is only his great dialogue, humour and plotting that manages to keep it as a very strong 6 out of 12.

Y bueno, si las ventas no pudieron cargarse la colección de Factor-X con Madrox al frente de su agencia de investigación, sí que las ventas fueron las responsables de la cancelación de esta nueva etapa, de este Nuevo Factor-X corporativo. ¿Por qué? A ver, no sé si fue una cuestión de enfoque, de personajes, o de que el propio Peter David no estuvo desde luego tan fino a nivel de guiones como había estado en en la etapa anterior, pero lo cierto es que este Nuevo Factor-X no cuajó. Desde mi punto de vista, creo que ya desde el principio los personajes no encajaron con el mismo "arte" con el que lo habían hecho en la etapa anterior. Polaris, Gámbito, Mercurio, Cifra, Warlock y Peligra no tuvieron la química que habían tenido Madrox, Loba Venenosa, Fortachón, M y Ríctor en aquellos primeros números de la etapa anterior. Y no es una cuestión de números, ojo, que hablo de los primeros arcos de la serie.
El caso es que en este tomo se recoge el último de los arcos de la serie, relacionado de forma tangencial con Axis, una saga a la que ya llegaremos, pero que básicamente derivaba de los primeros números de Imposibles Vengadores de Rick Remender y en los que una onda telepática provocada por Cráneo Rojo utilizando el cerebro de Charles Xavier provoca que haya un "cambio de alineación" entre héroes y villanos, de modo que muchos de los primeros dejan salir lo peor que llevan dentro, y los segundos buscan lo mejor que pueden dar. Antes de los números de Axis, tenemos la llegada al equipo de la mismísima Luna, la hija de Mercurio y Crystal, lo que provoca un encontronazo entre el grupo y Gorgon, así como la unión del nuevo personaje creado por Davir y que habíamos visto en el arco anterior, la joven Georgia, que se une al equipo como D.K (Decay). Los números relacionados con Axis nos muestran al equipo, a salvo del ataque telepático de Cráneo Rojo gracias a unos implantes cibernéticos implantados por Warlock y a la tecnología defensiva de Empresas Serval, tienen que hacer frente a los impulsos del propio presidente de EE.UU para provocar el infierno nuclear, a los Centinelas de O.N.E y a Fuego Solar y Longshot, también modificados por la onda telepática de Cráneo Rojo. Quizá los plantes de PAD pasaban por la incorporación de Fuego Solar al grupo, y probablemente por ahondar en Harrison Snow y Serval, ya que en este último arco tenemos alguna aclaración sobre el origen de la empresa y de su director, pero el fin de la colección fue un tanto brusco, y de hecho no es final como tal (se supone que el equipo sigue adelante, aunque sin Mercurio, a quien Axis había afectado de una forma bastante personal), y en fin, hasta donde yo sé, no ha habido continuidad en ningún aspecto en el se haya vuelto a hablar de Harrison Snow y Serval, convertidos en uno más de esos cabos sueltos que de vez en cuando el mundo del cómic va dejando...

There’s a pretty big drop in my rating here as this final volume feels incomplete. This isn’t necessarily the fault of the creative team: All New X-Factor was canceled and issue 20 was the final issue. There’s also some crossover here with a storyline involving other parts of the Marvel universe — or at least it feels like there is as characters are mentioned as being integral to the plot but never actually shown and many events happen “off screen.” I was really enjoying this series, and while I still dug the adventures of the characters, I almost feel like they knew the end was coming so they threw in some cameos and weird plot points and intentionally left us on a cliffhanger. I dunno… I just felt bummed that this last volume ended with a whimper instead of the consistent banging of the previous two volumes.

Really good. Mostly.
I love all the character stuff. Danger and Warlock were the highlight, but Quicksilver and Lorna also went through some interesting character development.
It didn’t feel like a solid ending. Perhaps Peter David expected to write more issues? Also, the Axis tie-ins were very out of place and annoying. Axis, as you know, blows monkey nuts.
Very good art, some truly great moments... I’d say read it. There are parts that make the lackluster end worth it.

This one introduces some of Harrison Snow's true intentions with X Factor and reigns them into some outer-conflict that I imagine spanned several series if not an avengers one. I think I enjoyed it more because characters and their interactions are more established so they can begin to be molded by one another.

Full of potential, but not good enough.
The old x-factor (investigation) was much better.
Ant the art is weird

A cross over can be a delightful thing but far more often it gets in the way of or in this case derails, a perfectly good series as it winds down. This version of X-Factor never really shot for the moon but it was a fun story by old hand Peter David that went to the deep mutant bench and gave us a team lead by Polaris of all people and gave Quicksilver a chance to atone for some of the jerky things he has done while doing new jerky things and Gambit to be a toned down version of himself. It's all fine but this last collection is all over the place and feels more like a series of hastily thrown together team ups than letting this series naturally run its course.

Another excellent volume of David's X-Factor. One of the few writers who can not only handle tie-ins will but make them better than the actual event.
January 11, 2018
I didn't love Axis and I have to admit, Quicksilver is still a dick, but I did feel for him a bit here.
I'm gonna miss this motley crew.

Podobnież mężczyznę poznaje się, nie po tym jak zaczyna, ale jak kończy. Gdyby All New X-Factor było mężczyzną, to skonczyło by wzorcowo. Mamy tu wartką akcje, niezgorsze dialogi i emocje, którymi dzieła się z nami postacie. I są to emocje wiarygodne.
Zresztą na tym polu ta seria króluje. Nie oczekuje tu walk, choć jest ich aż nadmiar. Siła tkwi raczej w rozmowach pomiędzy postaciami. I tak Polaris wybiera się na typowy damski wieczorek w towarzystwie Danger oraz Scarlet Witch, przybranej siostry. I cały ten wypad to istny miód. Jest tu niewymuszony humor i relacje, których mogą pozazdrościć inne serie komiksowe.
Jednocześnie mamy też wspomnianą Danger, która pragnie nowych doznań, w tym intymności. Nie dostaje tego od Warlocka to dostaje od innej postaci. Fragment rozmowy Gambita że "słonkiem" jest boski i śmieszny. Ale całość zaczyna się też fenomenalnie od Quicksilver, który pogłębia więzi że swoją córką. Aż tu nagle pojawia się Gorgon i sprawy zaczynają się komplikować. I robić śmieszniejsze.
Pamiętacie Georgię, dziewczynkę której na ratunek ruszyła grupa w drugim tomie? W tym staje się praktycznie częścią zespołu i radzi sobie dobrze. Bałem się, że Axis wszystko zepsuje, jako wiadacy event Marvela. Zeszyt powiązany z tym wydarzeniem jest co prawda wyraźnie słabszy, ale i tak daje radę. No i pojawiają się dwie nowe postacie, z których jedna dołączy do zespołu.
Krańcowo mamy jeszcze starożytnego bożka, który przejmuje ciało martwej dziewczynki, a który wygląda jak wcielenie egipskiego Sobka. Cel: odzyskać ciało. I tyle. Do tego nad całością czuwa prezes Snow, którego działania i motywy zostają dla mnie zagadką, choć niby wyjaśnia swoje plany na samym końcu.
Kreska. Mhan ma talent, który trzeba dostrzec. Początkowo narzekałem, teraz chwalę. Jego ołówek nie jest czysty, ale jest to zamierzone i wygląda świetnie.
Cała seria tych nowych X-Factor jest naprawdę dobra. Egmont Za niedługo wydaje bodajże "Lepsi wrogowie Spider-Mana", więc nadal w jakimś stopniu jest zainteresowany Marvel Now! z przełomu 2012-2015. Omawiany tytuł jest jednym z tych, który zasługuje na takie wydanie. Oby ktoś go dostrzegł, bo to jedna z lepszych serii nie wydana na polskim rynku, obok Daredevila Waida. Ale sądzę, że i to się w przyszłości zmieni...

Continuing the great x-read of 2017/18...
So, despite loving David's X-factor runs up to this point, All New has failed to really draw me in. Up until this volume. Despite a few problems (why does Magneto show up and take Quicksilver? We never see the outcome of that...) and the fact that I know nothing about (this might be a pretty big SPOILER if you haven't read it yet...) the 2099 universe which made the surprise fall a little flat for me. Still, this is where the series really starts to come together. David has a good handle on all of the characters and they are so well-written here. The humor is back and quite funny... Despite having a crossover issue, this volume just *works* so well.
And so of course, this is the point where it was cancelled. Sigh.
Ah well. It took a really long time for this particular book to come together in my opinion, so I can see why readers might not have cared as much. Still, I wonder what could have been if David had been given the time on this run that he had on his others...

When the Axis event affects the president himself, X-factor race to get the nuclear football before he uses it!
I haven't really read this run of X-factor before, but this volume was actually pretty solid. David's work is kind of hit or miss with me, but this is definitely a fun read. I think what makes the book entertaining is the fact that David has a great handle on the characters themselves. The interpersonal play between the team was great, and I like how it continues even in the midst of a fight.
AFter the football is dealt with, then we get a real glimpse into what David has been doing on the book, as strain within the team is definitely there. I may have to go back and read this run cause it definitely peaked my interest. Great art as well by Carmine Di Giandomenico as well.
If you're a fan of the team, I would recommend this even though I haven't read the full run.

This starts off okay, reestablishing the sibling relationship between Polaris and Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch as a setup for what happens in Axis. But then it doesn't follow through. There should have been more of that plotline during and after the crossover. Instead, during Axis, we get the reasonable question of: If everybody's morality is switched around, what's to stop the President from launching a nuclear war. And then (with no transition to acknowledge we're not in Axis world anymore), we end on a completely random and confusing story.
The art is not my favorite. It's a Peter David book, so you already know the humor and the character interaction is going to be better than the plot.

So, this was better than the first two books in the series but that's not saying much. The entire Serval Industries storyline, which was the entire series, was pretty awful and the payoff is not what Peter David thinks it is especially with the series ending here. There were some funny moments with Danger/Warlock/Doug but not enough to make up for the terrible moments between that same group. The Polaris/Quicksilver dynamic was weak. The art was better here but only because Carmine Di Giandomenico doesn't do every issue. His work is not the match for this book. So many panels are nearly impossible to decipher. Overall, Peter David has written some excellent books. Sadly, he also wrote this.
September 8, 2022
Overall, I found Harrison’s backstory to be a bit rushed because you only get hints of his intentions throughout the first two books and then you get his backstory thrown into the third alongside some plot twists. It had potential to continue and I think if it had, the pacing of that reveal would’ve been better and grander. The strongest aspect of this series and this volume has been the characters - my favourites definitely beinng Danger, Warlock, Lorna and Pietro - I found Wanda’s appearance with the medieval fair here a little unneccessary but I guess it needed the spy reveal.
December 11, 2018
The final volume of Perer David and Carmine Di Giandomenico's run has a jump in the final half as David's writing steps up to the quality it's known for, and the already fine art benefits from the adddition of Pop Mhan and Will Sliney. Otherwise this has been a disappointing series: many characters introduced where features of their persona are dependent on Marvel knowledge; there's
some shoddy editing and a flippancy the writing falls back on. I enjoyed it.

A little slower moving for me-not as much of the character development/interactions that I love most. I never like when the plot gets pulled into the overarching large Marvel stories, it always feels pretty forced and empty to me, which left the volume feeling overall as "eh". Good moments, but not strung together as well as they usually are.
December 19, 2020
I enjoyed the Axis tie-in, and the one or two other stories were fine. The ending was pretty fun, but ultimately what I enjoyed most are the breezy, not-loaded-down-by-mythology takes on the characters. I love mythology, but also good ol’ snappy, witty banter without lots of asterisk and back issue footnotes.
July 23, 2018
Con olor a cancelado y todo, me encantó. 50% mérito de los diálogos (con los de Danger a la cabeza) e interacciones entre personajes, 50% gracias a la manera de cerrar cabitos sueltos y plantar semillas para cosas que quizás no veamos por culpa del mercado editorial USA, y 100% mérito de David.

Deep dive into Peter David series resolution, as this feels wrapped up in haste. Still, the character moments and interaction are fun. I liked this version/generation of X-Factor.
Mildly recommended.

Better than previous volumes, but the ending of this series really leaves some serious questions. Where am I supposed to go from here? I guess Spiderman 2099? :?

The groups helps to stop a nuclear attack in the Axis storyline and then faces off against an egyptian god.

I love this run of X-factor and it remains surprisingly strong through the Axis event.
May 7, 2020
Such a shame that this book was cancelled...there’s some great ideas in here and some fun stories.
January 26, 2022
Meh. I can see why this series only lasted 20 issues when it's predecessor lasted over 100. I can also see why I was right to skip it back when it came out. But, completionist gotta complete.
December 4, 2024
3.5 rounded down.
Another book that was really fun until AXIS forced itself upon it.

One of the reasons I enjoyed David's Madrox-centric run on X-Factor in the 2000s was that he had a real sense of dialogue and pacing. X-Factor Visionaries: Peter David, Vol. 1 was mostly a slow burn book full of character studies and well-placed dad jokes. It dealt with the major Marvel crossovers by mostly skirting around them. They were acknowledged, the team dealt with a side quest related to the event, and then the story moved back to focusing on the characters.
None of that has been on display in the All New X-Factor run, particularly in this volume.
The middle chunk of this book is related to Avengers & X-Men: AXIS, which is in contention for my least-favorite crossover in Marvel history. It's bad, and clunky. And this story mostly depends on you reading parts of that, and then checking in on an issue of this book, and then going back to that story, and then coming back to this one. It would be a lot of work for no real reward. So, unless you commit to reading Axis, you just have to accept that there's a big last issue revelation in one issue, and you're just never going to find out what it's about, the story moves on and doesn't acknowledge it. It's the sort of terrible team book writing you mostly saw in the 1990s.
There's also the issue that the final volume ties this series into at least two other Peter David books that have previously had no connection to this and, as far as I know, this revelation never leads anywhere, There's zero follow-up. The title ends on "You won't believe what happens next! Nothing!"
It's a really sad that this was the final X-Factor book that David ever wrote. Now that I've gone through the series twice, I think I shall pretend it doesn't exist anymore, since it has no relevance outside of itself, anyway.

Vol. 3 (#13 a #20)
¿¡POR QUÉ TERMINÓ!?
Primero que nada, tengo que admitir que los 3 volúmenes fueron geniales, a un nivel cósmico. Y en verdad es muy triste que haya terminado, de forma tan abrupta. PORQUE SÍ, TERMINÓ MUY MAL, y lo único que puedo hacer es sufrir e imaginarme que podría llegar a pasar si continuara. ¡NECESITO MÁS! [tears everywhere]
El Vol.3 comienza con el radical cambio en Polaris (Lorna) frente a Quicksilver (Pietro), cambio que no dura mucho por la aparición de Scarlet Witch (Wanda) la cual le cuenta sobre la verdadera razón por la que Pietro se acercó a ella (ouch). Pero dejando de lado eso, todos los personajes crecen y se van desarrollando un poco más y hay me siento muy bien por ellos.
Personajes que van y vienen, nuevos enfrentamientos y una escenita entre Warlock y Danger que me hizo reír de felicidad.Y ni mencionemos el beso entre Remy y Lorna porque fangirleo con ese OTP.
Fue una buena lectura, entretenida y rápida. Merece las cinco estrellas y una nueva oportunidad. ¡Por más All-new X-factor!¡Por más GambitxPolaris!
Y una notita aparte: Este Pietro sin duda, es mi favorito. Favorito favorito.
