X-Factor, since its release in 2006, has constantly been my favorite X-Title. The art is great and both the stories and the characters are well written.

What are your opinions?

That's because it's the only good x-book that comes once a month.

Astonishing X-men is constantly pushed back.

Other X-Books are good: Legacy, X-Force and Uncanny are good. New X-Men was great.

Peter David is amazing!

Depending on one's tastes, it is a toss up between X-Factor and Astonishing. They are both very well written books, but in two very different styles. PAD's gritty character studys and wierdness and Whedon's Bronze Age Super Hero Old School.

PAD has done an amazing job, even better than his first run at X-Factor back in the 1990's, and created something truly unique in the X-verse. His stories are nicely twisted and delightfully 5 to 45 degrees off kilter. His dialog is a joy to read, and he knows to develop a plot over time. His pacing a great. His character devlopment is fantastic. He is the only writer to develop Jamie, and develop him into a very interesting leading man, despite Jamie first appearing in 1975. After Rictor was depowered, PAD made him into a hero! An interesting hero! He also "gets" Rhane and Terry, which few do. I don't know anyone who could have done with Lyla what he did And his recent redemption of Pietro was masterful and such fun to read!

(Uncanny is the worst title of X-Verse right now.)

Firstly, Astonishing X-Men is no longer that great, and Uncanny X-Men and Young X-Men are poor.

Legacy is garbage

Granted i've only read 2 issues of legacy, but they bored me ]=

"Granted i've only read 2 issues of legacy, but they bored me ]="

....i can't believe i said "bored me" 

"....i can't believe i said "bored me" 

anyway, i agree....Plus there was a major lack of Emma Frost so that's why i had to put it down.

bbooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I agree, but Stroman's art is really killing it for me."

He's off with issue 37: the person who did the Layla one-shot is taking over."

Yep that's the chap.

I think he also did the Only Game in town arc: to me it's very similar to Raimondi's art.

The art got good again and I think it brought the story back too. Last issue was the first I liked since before Messiah CompleX I think.

I completely agree with what everyone is saying about the art. X-Factor is by far my favorite X book but the up til recently it was almost painful to read.

"The art got good again and I think it brought the story back too. Last issue was the first I liked since before Messiah CompleX I think."

The one-shots were excellent. Better than the ongoing at the time they came out, I thought.

Jamie's awesome.

Though, the last couple of issues have focused more on other characters."

in small doses, but when your Code Name is "Multiple Man," those small doses are non existent.

I'll pick it back up after something groundbreaking happens. It's shelved for now"

X-Titles

No Astonishing or Legacy?!!!

darn yeah, add them to the list.

Astonishing is so infrequent with it's publishing that i forget it even exist. And Legacy has been Wolverine/Xavier centered so it's forgettable as well.
