What is the good word on this series? I am a huge PAD fan and he is one of the few creators I get gob smacked around but wasn'tgonna purchase this dis to the lack of Layla and Madrox. I did decide to trade wait it out and ordered volume 1 through DCBS. Is it good? Looking forward to PAD's take on Doug Ramsey. the first couple issues are mostly setting things into motion but after that the book becomes really great. I think reading it in the trade format will be vastly superior, I think people read the first couple issues and then dropped the series but I'm glad I stuck with it and I hope you enjoy it and stick with it as well. Also, it's Peter David. He always comes through with exceptional work.

I can confirm thatbi just read volume 1 and will be preordering volume two this month at DCBS. While I will likely alwaays love the Madrox series a little more since he is a favorite of mine, I really enjoy this book as well.

Bobby, The new X-Factor team has really grown on me, although it was a tough go at first, as I so missed Layla, Jamie, Monet and the rest, but Peter David is, as usual, delivering a book where the characterization just grows more fascinating with each issue!

I agree Bob. I didn't buy any issues till 6 and the intro of Cypher who I think is incredible potential under PAD. Originally I wasn't gonna purchase at all but I love David's writing and am a longtime fan. In the end, I decided that tradewaiting the series fit my budget and I don't regret the decision.
Like you I also dropped FF after issue 6 and am done with the series for the forseeable future. After the amazing FF run with Scott Lang, Ms Thing, She-Hulk and Medusa, this series just doesn't measure up.

It's really picked up steam as it's gone along, so much so that a re-read of the first few issues is much more satisfying than first time around. Sadly, I haven't dropped Fantastic Four (#7 is pretty crummy, too, by the way!), as it's the one exception to my rule about "not buying what you're not enjoying". I'm hoping this arc by James Robinson will be a blip on the radar, and so on that basis I'm unwilling to put a gap into a complete collection, as fetishistic as that may sound!

Well at least the Leonard Kirk art has been good. You gotta do what you gotta do Bob. Nothing wrong with that.

Bobby, The saddest thing is that James Robinson is getting nearly everything right in Invaders, I can't for the life of me fathom how he can get things so wrong in Fantastic Four. Maybe Peter David can write the FF in his spare time? (Way off topic, but for a great take on the family, you should read the Fantastic Four 100th Anniversary issue that's just out! rrr)

Yeah I've been enjoying Invaders because I'm a Winter Soldier junkie. Now I have to buy the new Winter Soldier series by Ales Kot.

Was the new Avengers Annual the Doc Strange story? If so you should look into the writer Frank Barbiere's Image series Five Ghosts. It has awesome art by Chris Mooneyham and is the love child of Indiana Jones and League of Extraordinary Gentleman. I highly recommend it.

I read the first trade on Five Ghosts, and quite enjoyed it; I'm sure that down the road I'll check back in again!

I enjoy Gambit. Or I did. He just can't seem to keep readers in a solo book. Is he used well in this series?

There have been a couple of issues focused on the Cajun, and in the current story-line, he's in some very deep trouble with Harrison Snow, his boss at Serval Industries, who's in charge of this new version of X-Factor.

Stephanie brought an issue with gambit not being Cajun enough in his inner monologue
Wouldn't it be crazy if the Cajun accent was totally an act this entire time
Something crazy I can think Peter David would totally do
