Picking up where we left X-Factor when #EcksofTens got in the way, our team is prepared to present “Proof of Death” for that girl whose body they rescued from Mojoworld!
We’re going to talk a whole lot about that girl… why she was there… what she knew… and why she allowed herself to be shot in da head! We will also be talking a bunch more about one of my favorite HoXPoXDoXSoXRoX topics: The Crucible!

I'm really enjoying X-Factor at the moment. Leah Williams and David Baldeon are doing great work. They really are producing work that could only work in comics like the sequence following the map of the Boneyard. It's great to see work in comics that doesn't feel like a discarded film script.
They also do a fantastic job of the character work. I actually find myself caring about characters like Daken who I previously found insufferable.
I love that the people in the story are discuss the resurrection protocols and the Crucible. They are not just stories to them they are the background to their lives.
Talking of the Crucible I can't wait for you to get to it's return. It reappears in a fantastic story that you will get to very soon.
Anyway until Amazing Baby stars in a reboot of Homeward Bound with Jeff the Land Shark and Ms Lion, Make Mine X-Lapsed!
