Preview: X-Factor #34

X-Factor and She-Hulk Take on the Skrulls in “He Loves You!”

Longshot has returned — but he’s a Skrull! Join Jamie Madrox and the rest of X-Factor as they get caught up in the chaos of Secret Invasion in X-Factor #34! After last issue’s Skrull revelation, Darwin, the Evolving Boy, X-Factor and She-Hulk must battle their greatest threat yet! With fan favorite and Award-winning writer, Peter David (She-Hulk, Dark Tower: The Long Road Home), She-Hulk and Jazinda, daughter of the infamous Super Skrull, are going to lend a helping hand! Legendary X-artist Larry Stroman delivers stunning interiors as X-Factor and She-Hulk learn to put their differences aside and combine their forces! The sold-out “He Loves You” storyline concludes right here, but don’t miss out on your chance to discover where it all began in X-Factor #33 Second Printing Variant and She-Hulk #31 Second Printing Variant.

Michael Colber of ComicsBulletin.com had this to say about X-Factor, “There is more than enough reason to hang around because Peter & Co. consistently deliver a book that is engaging, entertaining and masterfully crafted.”

Bryan Joel of IGN.com raves, “If you haven't tried what's arguably the best X-book on the stands, you probably aren't going to get a better opportunity than this.”

Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on X-Factor, She-Hulk and all Secret Invasion tie-ins as they continue to sell out quickly at Diamond and fans continue to ask, “Who Do You Trust?”

Will X-Factor and She-Hulk be able to work together without any altercations? And what does a certain Skrull have planned for the team? Find out the answers to these questions and more in this Secret Invasion tie-in… X-Factor #34!

Pick of the Week: X-Factor #33

If you've been reading X-Factor you know what the art looked like, what you could expect in every issue. And I know with this week's pick, what you're used to isn't what you'll be getting.

In this day and age of photo referencing and flat or emotionless drawing, seeing Larry Stroman (inked by Jonathan Sibal) bring a story written by Peter David to life is a breath of fresh air.

Sure, some things may some wonky, but Stroman isn't Howard Chaykin or Mike Norton. He hasn't been drawing consistently for months like the two gentlemen mentioned. But that's okay. There's a feeling to this artwork that I haven't seen in a long while (similar to what Travel Foreman is doing on next week's Immortal Iron Fist #17). I hope this creative team sticks around for a good while.

CAPTAIN AMERICA #38
THE SAGA OF THE NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA CONTINUES!
Bucky Barnes never wanted to be Captain America, but he's doing his best to carry on the legacy of Steve Rogers, in his own way, while trying to save Sharon Carter from the Red Skull and his minions. But maybe he's not the only one running around in a Captain America outfit!
Part Two of "The Man Who Bought America" by the acclaimed team of Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting.
Rated T+ …$2.99


MIGHTY AVENGERS #14

The Eisner award-winning team of Bendis and Maleev bring this very important Secret Invasion issue to life.
32 PGS./Rated A …$2.99


WAR IS HELL: THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THE PHANTOM EAGLE #3
An unfortunate ailment aids Kauffman in battle, but his celebration is short lived, as the unit is running low on airworthy planes and pilots alike. Kauffman has seen more action than he ever dreamed, but still can’t reconcile his fantasies with the horrors around him. There’s no glory on the battlefield, no chivalry in the air and no end in sight for this war. Can Kauffman make it through alive? And if so, what will he sacrifice for the sake of survival?
Cardstock Cover/Explicit Content …$3.99

WOLVERINE: ORIGINS #25

Deadpool has found a way, but just as he’s about to pull the trigger (so to speak)…the other trap springs! Be here for the completely twisted conclusion! Plus: Celebrate the 25th issue of WOLVERINE: ORIGINS with a special BONUS: the very first appearance of Deadpool, from NEW MUTANTS #98, plotted and penciled by ROB LIEFELD and scripted by FABIAN NICIEZA!
Parental Advisory …$3.99


X-FACTOR #31
Never has a title said it all quite like "The Middle East Side is Burning." X-Factor's battle with Arcade may be over, but the former Mutant Town is now paying the price. Walled in, cut off from any possible aid, the residents of the Middle East Side are hemmed in by flames on all sides, and their only hope of survival are the embattled members of X-Factor.

Spinning out of the sold-out Messiah CompleX event, the red-hot X-Men: Divided We Stand storyline continues to astonish readers everywhere, with X-Factor #29 and Wolverine #63 as the latest tie-ins sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level).

But the heroes – them, you don’t expect. Popping up to give you the eyeball and make sure you’re toeing the line. Their line. Spider-Man and his wisecracks...Frank Castle, the angel of death himself, telling you he’ll be keeping an eye on you...even the fugitive Captain America, with a word to say about crashing aircrafts into the sides of buildings in New York City. And now, this other thing. Someone is out there. Someone hitting the old haunts, scenes of the old crimes. Leaving messages. Leaving bodies. Someone who knows you. Someone who crushes steel and pulls off limbs. All to get your attention. Someone out of your league! Plus: Some people come to New York City looking for a knight in shining armor. Or just a warm body who can help you through the lonely hours. Be careful what you look for. Hot crime novelist Duane Swierczynski (The Blonde) and Jefte Paolo bring you the story of three women whose lives intersect in strange and deadly ways, two predators who stalk the city streets at night, and one shock ending you won’t see coming. No matter how many bad dates you’ve had. Collecting MOON KNIGHT #7-13 and ANNUAL #1.
