X-Factor: Time and a Half

In this 2009 one-shot from Marvel, X-Factor: Time and a Half offers a standalone story spotlighting the mutant detective agency. Written with a focus on character dynamics, the issue is most notably illustrated by David Yardin, whose clean, expressive style brings the team's interactions to life. A brief but engaging entry for fans of the series, it captures the offbeat, noir-tinged tone that defines the X-Factor corner of the Marvel Universe.
