The only reason I’m sticking with these last couple of X-Factor comics is because it will be over soon. The team is about to change completely and Peter David is about start writing. Like I did when I stopped reading Excalibur, I’m going to try to re-focus on the most important X-Men comics in an effort to speed up my reading. And X-Factor is my least favorite X-Men series anyway. It’s had its moments, but for the most part it’s seemed like the less essential and less interesting, tag-along X-Men book. While they’ll always hold a special place in my heart, the original X-Men have always been the least interesting X-Men, and aside from Archangel, who the writers basically changed into an edgelord, nothing has been done in this series to make these characters any more interesting. Sometimes I wonder if it’s even possible to do a super engaging story with the original X-Men. They are all so bland and self-obsessed. I guess it’s not like Wolverine isn’t self-obsessed, but he’s also a complete maniac which is more fun. I dunno. I do like reading about these characters, but I do it with the same hate-watch mentality that I employ when watching old episodes of Full House. I guess we’ll see what the MCU does with these characters. (X-Factor #65 – Apr 1991)
