    Thanks. Half off is never an option for me due to shippingcosts. Here you'll never find it that cheap.

    Is PAD's original X-Factor run any good? I've only read the therapy issue. Is the rest of it typical 90s fare, punctuated by frequent crossovers?

    It's better than a lot of other 90's drivel, but not it's not his best work. And yes, you will feel the 90's X-crossover bonanza.

    Then the rest of you better buy enough copies for there to be a volume 2 that covers the Investigations years

    From what I had the pleasure to read from that run, I'll say that it was heaps better than his first run.

    PAD's two X-Factor runs are apples and oranges, but both pretty great. I already have both full runs in singles, and the 90's stuff in Epic Collections, so I'm hesitant to triple-dip on the upcoming omnibus. However I do want the X-Factor Investigations material in collected form... but that means having a Vol. 2 on my shelf without the corresponding Vol. 1!

    So torn...

    I liked PAD’s original run… mostly because it was a breath of fresh air compared to what the book had become in years prior (and would revert to after his departure). I’m honestly not sure how it would read in a vacuum.

    Aside from the cool jackets the characters wore, those will never go out of style.

    What about his 3rd run?

    Honestly not a major fan of PAD's 1st X-Factor run but I loved the second run. I preordered the 1st omni to do my part in hopefully getting a omni of the 2nd run.

    No, his 3rd run was the one with Gambit, Quicksilver, Danger, and Polaris working for a corporation. Lasted about 20 issues I believe. All new X-Factor.
