This is what started me on reading New Avengere and then Civil War.
You would say, "Tawfek you are an idiot for doing that." And you would probably be right.
But how it wasn't a bad decision because New Avengers is fire, Civil War is fire (Mostly, a lot of bad tie ins honestly) X-factor is fire too.
Something about Peter David's writing in X Factor just appeals to me.
Appeals to me enough to give it 4 stars even though I don't give enough 4 stars lately (Mostly threes)
What was the young girl's name? I forgot, anyway her power is super interesting and I can't imagine how fun it is to write her scenes. Like he knows from the first page she is waiting for Pietro and just had her sitting in the street all day meeting many different people and having the spotlight more than any other character this issue, even though Siryn literally meet Spider-man who is a bigger star, but the little girl is the bigger star in this story.

Por la historia serían tres estrellas, pero este el tipo de viñetas que me fascinan

Really no clue how this drivel fits in with the wider story. Don't really care either, boring.

Read as part of Civil War. Not gonna rate it as I have no fucking clue what the hell is going on.
Getting the feeling all of these are just gonna be people telling Peter he's wrong and Peter panicking and going lalala can't hear you

Not going to lie, I was lost for most of this one. Inserting a completely new story-line about the X-men and mutants without enough explanations or strong tie to the events of the civil war seems unnecessary to an already jam-packed series.

Force a company wide event to include every title, and you get things like this...makes no sense to casual readers of the event book, and makes no sense to tie in for readers of the title...art was solid though.

Me encanta porque siempre hacen referencias a Harry Potter.

CIVIL WAR 2.3/#15 (TIE-IN)
Pretty cool tie-in. Art is pretty different, always cool to see these different styles.
