Banshee let them fly off, and she doesn’t like being second-guessed. As leader, Havok wants to know when Monet and Layla will be back, but Madrox and Banshee don’t know. She flies off and tells Layla to keep her distance.īack at X-Factor HQ, we finally get the scene of Havok confronting the returned Madrox. Monet pulls away and says that she believes that Layla didn’t resurrection Madrox, but she’s still not happy. Layla wanted to spare Monet that pain…only for fate to bite her on the ass by killing Madrox. Layla says that she brought Strong Guy back to life to spare Monet, because Monet would have blamed herself and would have become a wreck after Strong Guy’s murder all those issues ago. But his resurrection is now having ripple effects, like Madrox getting killed. All because she decided to bring Guido back from the dead. There are big black curtains drawn over parts of time that she should know.

Layla explains that the closer in time she gets to people and events, the harder they become to see. Monet takes ogling cleavage to a whole new level The demon woman stands revealed, and says that her name is Jezebel, and I believe she is from Hell. We open, like I said, in the Isolationist’s Arctic fortress. The idea of them facing off against two far-out super-villains seeking world domination just doesn’t interest me in the least.įortunately, this issue mostly focuses on the good characters and what their lives are like together. This book’s greatest strength is when its characters can act like real people, and deal with grounded, street-level adventures. They are not threatening, they are not interesting and I have little to no desire in seeing them eventually face off against X-Factor. But their little segments add absolutely nothing to the overall threat they’re trying to convey, and I find myself rolling my eyes at them even more than last week.

This issue is also book-ended by the Isolationist’s story, as the mysterious woman is finally revealed in full. This issue also featured one of the most adorable superhero group hugs ever.
