They all die! No, really. Will there even be a #205? Either Peter David knew this or he got handed a memo mid-storyline, but last issue's jungle rescue is moved to the side while an evil dude from the future shows up targeting mutants and literally kills off most of the members of X-Factor. The only ones still alive are the two in Ireland and Monet and Strong Guy, but Strong Guy is busy getting his ass handed to him and Monet is still sort of held captive. I'm taking a wild guess that most of these characters are not dead. They were all shot in the head. Can mutants survive that? It'd be funny if this book only has four members in it when it returns. But alas, this is Marvel we're talking about. Didn't Norman Osbourn die forty years ago? Surprisingly, though, this issue is the best in a long time. It's shocking. It's fast-paced. It's a change of pace, completely throwing away the current storyline for the new, mega-event, “Second Coming: Revelations.” I don't read the other X-books, but so far I like this storyline. ***
