☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of Peter David's celebrated X-Factor run collects issues #71–#83 of the original series, diving deeper into the government-sanctioned mutant team's chaotic dynamics. David's sharp dialogue and character-driven plots shine as Multiple Man Jamie Madrox, Strong Guy, Polaris, and the rest of the team face threats like the deadly Mutant Liberation Front, the enigmatic Mr. Sinister, and the return of the Hulk. Balancing dark humor with genuine emotional stakes, this collection solidifies the era that made X-Factor a fan-favorite under David's pen.
In "This Means War," X-Factor faces a brutal test as the tyrannical dictator Farnoq Dahn captures Havok and weaponizes his powers, forcing the team into a desperate fight for survival. With the Pantheon pressing the assault and Dahn unleashing missiles rigged with both Havok and innocent civilians, the Hulk must step in—though even his intervention may not be enough. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Dale Keown, with inks by Mark Farmer, colors by Glynis Oliver, and letters by Joe Rosen, this issue delivers high-stakes tension and moral complexity, all anchored by Keown’s striking cover.
In "X-Calation [War & Pieces Part 2]," the escalating clash between the Hulk and the Pantheon forces X-Factor into the heart of a volatile international conflict in Trans-Sabal. With tensions rising and loyalties tested, the team finds themselves at odds with forces they once thought they could trust—while personal connections, like Betty and Marlo meeting Rick’s mom, add unexpected weight to the storm.
In the climactic chapter of "War and Pieces: Conclusion Fortunes of War," Gamal and Stahn find themselves caught in a deadly game of power and survival as the tyrant Farnoq Dahn pushes his twisted vision to the brink. With Havok imprisoned and civilians at risk, the stakes rise as the Hulk races to intervene—only to face a battle not just against Dahn’s weapons, but against the very fate of Tans-Sabal.
In "Great X-Pectations," the MLF's bold breakout of the Nasty Boys throws X-Factor into chaos, testing loyalties and pushing the team to their limits. Amid the tension, Cannonball shares a quiet, revealing moment with Rahne, hinting at deeper connections beneath the surface.
In "Playing with Fire!", X-Factor confronts the M.L.F. at a clinic where Dr. Tucker claims he can detect and eliminate the mutation gene before birth, putting Victoria Wang and others in the crosshairs of a dangerous ethical battle.
