Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities MadroX and X-Factor Investigations

I never did pick up this series. Is the TPB a full collection?

Yeah, Scoot. It collects the full five-issue mini.

Worth a look if you get the opportunity.

You might notice an odd resemblence to Triplicate Girl -- just remember this series came out before Lu's new origin...

If it's in stock, I'm picking this up tomorrow.

You were the first person I thought of when I saw the trade listed in this week's releases, FC.

I didn't see any posts from you, looking back through this thread... So this will be completely new for you then? You didn't check out any of the miniseries prior to this? You're in for a fun read! I'm almost jealous... this story probably works better when read in one sitting.

I decided not to spend the money on another TPB (blew too much on my PSP this week) so I acquired the mini by other means. I'll probably read it this weekend.

You know, I don't think I ever bought and read issue #5. WTF? I'll have to look for it this weekend.

Picked up the five issue mini on impulse when I got Legion 4 yesterday.

It's definitely worth a look.

Just read issue one. Forgot Rahne was a feature player. I love that girl, have since the original New Mutants.

"Whattaya think of the company name?"

"It sounds like you investigate pornography."

"I can live with that."

Classic. If the rest of the series is as good, I'll probably wish this was an on-going title.

oh god I'm buying the hell outta this. I loved the series, so I'll support it however I can. The end left opening for a new series...one can only hope, eh?

I wouldn't know. I only found the first issue, and i was really looking forward to it. Gonna have to go to my store and have a little talk with them. I also didn't get any at all of the deadshot mini. My store is pretty good about my pull and all, but they have been kinda slacking off lately.

The paperback was a great read! It was good to go through the 5 issues all at once; there were enough twists and surprises to keep the pages turning. Not a plot so convoluted that one would have lost the thread by waiting between issues - but I think more enjoyable in concentrated form, since it really was one big story.

Rahne had some great lines. And I liked the idea of Mutant Town, where you never knew what powers the neighbours might have. Best surprise: when the white-haired killer splits into two and says "What? Did you think you were the only one?"

Very tempting to get the next issues, but I'll hold out for the next TPB.

I don't think there are any more issues, at least not according to the note in the last book. I think five issues is all we are getting of this. Although, if DistrictX is still around, maybe we could see this team still together and playing a part of that series.

Nothing more? Ultimate bummer.

Before LL's misreading of the last page of Mx #5 takes hold:


- Brevoort said fans can expect more Madrox sometime after House of M.[/quote]

Plus the page itself (shown below) always looked to me more like an X-Factor Investigations series was pending than that this was The End.

Okaaay, I thought that error was fixed now... (*leaves the above post to point to as an error...*). Here's how the post should have looked:

And what exactly did I mis-read? I said those five issues were it and they were.

I never said we weren't going to see the character ever again. I hypothesized that they could use the characters in the DistrictX book since that also took place in Mutant Town.

1) Since DX is cancelled, that's fundementally unlikely (not to mention that it would be missing the point as much as that short-lived rumour that put the Runways in NXMAX)

2) Next snetence: "But it is not the end for Peter David and the character" This after the last page set up an X-Factor revival with PAD writing, starring Madrox, Rahne & Guido. (and PAD doesn't write DX, BTW).

Just read the TP collecting the first five issues of this book. I wasn't expecting much, since I don't expect much from any "X-book" these days, but I really enjoyed it. Props to writer Peter David for taking a minor character like "Madrox, the Multiple Man" and making him interesting. The way Madrox and his "dupes" are presented is way cool. Liked seeing Rahne, aka "Wolfsbane" in action too. Pretty sweet art, also.

So wait a minute--those five issues were all we're going to get?

Damn. LL's misreading of the last page of Mx #5 DID take hold...

I'm expecting an X-Factor Investigations series in the autumn, or at most by the end of the year.

I completely forgot about Rahne from New Mutants. She sure grew up nicely. She's no longer that awkward teen and thinking her power is a curse. She grew into it very well...almost to well

There really is only one thing I can say here, isn't there...

Man, I loved that LS. So much. It'll be great to see Jamie and Guido again and a not creepy Rahne!! (I didn't like the thing with Josh in NXM -- it was yucky.) I love those three...

I'll be interested to see Terry and Jamie interact after... the weirdness of the past. And I'm curious how they're gonna bring in her, Julio and Monet. I know the girls were with X-Corps... but yeah. Haven't seen any of them in main books for quite some time! Should be interesting. Can't wait!

What past? Who's Terry? There be a gap in my X-lore knowledge -- whuddup??

I'm glad Madrox did well enough to garner this relaunch of X-Factor. There are a lot of characters though and I hope Jamie doesn't get lost in the mix.

Terry and Jamie had sex... only the Jamie she slept with was a dupe and not the original Jamie. He has the memories but none of the feelings (paraphrased).

I'll be curious to see how they bring in the other characters. No matter, though. I'm looking forward to the book as is.
