This is it! The big one! Celebrating the second year of X-Factor and also the big 25th issue double-sized extravaganza and and and wait for it a tie in to Fall of the Mutants storyline. So what's with this Fall of Mutants storyline? Well, basically, as the header indicates, the mutant titles are going to be hit hard by events that will cause significant changes to their current line-up
Here's a summary - X Men had a huge fight with a cosmic entity, New Mutants went rescuing one of their new friends only to result in a loss of life and innocence and finally there is X-Factor. So as you can see, while all three titles are interconnected, yet each of them have their own tale i.e you do not need to read another title to get the full story and that works just fineEver since his introduction in the first few issues of X-Factor, Apocalypse has been lurking in the background planning for something big and we finally see it as Angel makes a come back after losing his organic wings to be replaced by a pair of tech wings that screams and shoots blades! And he looks so much cooler even if it is through the hands of Apo
As for the rest of X-Factor, well, they were caught with their pants down more or less because they kept running into obstacle after obstacle not counting their own internal problems including Beast who is getting stronger but each time he pushes his physical prowess, he loses his grey cells (sorry but that's the storyline) while Iceman needs a belt harness to control his powers otherwise he goes ballistic freezing everything and everyone including himself!And with all that going on, Apo launches his Horsemen led by Angel now called Death and soon to be called Arcangel (hey that's the fan of reviewing books from years and decades ago!)
It's a great thrill of a ride
Lots of action, lots of big bang and a huge discovery about the base that is being used by Apo - all in all, a definite must read!
