X-Factor 5 preview
In the pages, the X-Factor team watches as Adam X, hosting a 'Hot Ones' style online show called 'Adam X's Hot Seat,' follows an audience vote and murders the mutant Winddancer on camera – effectively creating a mutant snuff film. It's a disturbing scene that will definitely require a serious follow up from Krakoa's mutant investigators, who seek out proof of death in order to resurrect murdered mutants.

So the "third" Summer brother is a killer. Huh.

How did all these mutants get to Mojoworld? Are they all just being kidnapped and forced into it like Shatterstar seems to be?

I wonder if the writer knew about the future plans.
So it was a snuff film. crap
Also what is going on with minority chaarcters being killed off

Per Baldeon on Twitter, the pages are in the wrong order.
But oof, good detail with Josh being the only one of The Five who can't watch.

Looks like she went into this wanting to be killed so she could get her powers back. Looking forward to seeing how it reads.

This has extremely creepy vibes.
I like it.

Leah Williams don't miss. And neither does Adam X.

Why? I mean, yeah, he knew Sofia, and Hope & Proteus are hardened killers. But shouldn't the other two have been disinclined to watch on general principle?

Sofia? I'm pretty sure she's a straight, cis, white latina.

That makes more sense.

Honestly Leah is brilliant at hitting emotional beats with her characters and setting up a story that draws the reader in.

Given their role, I think it's plausible that all of The Five are pretty inured to death at this point. But there's a little more tied up there than Josh just knowing Sophia. She was one of the first mutants Josh met, leader of one of his early squads, Laurie's best friend, and less pleasantly, a possible reminder of a time when he was an anti-mutant shithead. So watching her die is likely to hit a bit harder simply because it's more personal.

So, Rockslide's case is already closed?

Sofia! :(
Oof this is dark, but also goofy. An...interesting combination to say the least lol.
