X-Factor #19

Mostly fighting in this one. To tell you the truth, this X-Cell storyline confuses me. I've not kept up with the "Decimation" event and Quicksilver's involvement, so this mess about him granting powers to the "worthy" flies over my head. Blob without blubber is funny. Preview the issue at IGN.

Come to think of it, I'm kinda disappointed with this title. It has so much promise, being a detective agency. These guys don't have to effect the Marvel U with every story they're in. Its a frikkin' detective agency! Solve some mysteries! A red hot dame smoking a cigarette waiting for Jamie in his office, the meddling landlord reluctantly asks for help in exchange for this month's rent, mysteries!

Being that its the Marvel U, however, everything connects and affects and relates to everything else. I may not be making sense here (I lost my train of thought a few paragraphs ago), but I feel like this book is derailing. Upcoming previews hold some promise, though.

Seven minutes.
