Opinion on the original X-Factor.

BTW, one of the great X-Men tragedies is when Skids changes her outfit.

Hey!
I said I was only going to be *that* fan for a second.
So! You got your one second of mocking me.
Move along now.

I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm talking about when her outfit gets completely changed around Inferno. I'm sad because it ruined a good outfit.

I'm reading Simonson's run right now and I think it's pretty fun. I couldn't stand X-factor #1, so I skipped the other 4 issues of the first writer's run. I'm at #21 now and I'm surprised at how well Simonson handled so many messes she inherited (Scott-Maddie-Jean-Phoenix drama and the absurd mutant hunters facade). Reading the first Apocalypse story is also great. I only decided to read this run because of UXM crossovers, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

Someone recommended this series to me a while ago, but not before I had already read the parts of PAD's run with the heavier Quicksilver parts. I was hesitant to read it because I was not super interested in the O5. But I am glad I did because Weezy gave them personalities and great drama.
So far, I just love everything about this series. The drama, the battles, the interactions with the Morlocks, I loveloveloveLOVE Skids, and the art. <3

I'm looking to collect the start of it at least through Endgame (I have #1 and all the individual issues of that arc in the late #60's).. I have the few big time Apocalypse issues.. but I would like to have that initial run in it's entirety.

Skids is really fun I read the Mutant Massacre issues when I was a kid. A while after she appeared in Claremont's X-treme X-men. It was cool seeing her again, I think it was one of her last appearances.
Boom Boom is also great in this series, but she managed to stay longer in the spotlight afterwards.
I'm also not such a big fan of the O5, but it's this run that made most of them more appealing. Especially Warren.
Jean is also great when she isn't all emo because of Cyclops.

Let me know what you think when you start reading it!

I feel the same about Jean.

Of course I will!

Of course I will!

I want you to get it all now, tho, so you can read it as I am reading it, and we can discuss its awesomeness.♡♡♡

I'm already at #40. I just finished Inferno and I still don't know how I really feel about it. I loved it as a pay-off to so many plot threads, not only from here, but also UXM and NM, but it did get too big and confusing for its own good. At the end I was kind of glad it was finally over.
I really didn't care for the X-terminators mini. I don't think it would have worked as its own story, but it also didn't add much to the overall narrative. I thought I would enjoy it more, because the younger characters were one of my favorite things from Simonson's X-factor. It looks like that'll soon change, as at least part of the team is leaving to join the New Mutants (god, I hate pretty much all the membership changes Louise did to New Mutants). Liefeld's days are fast approaching
As for X-factor itself, there are 30 issues left of the original team, so I'm curious to see how this team ends, but I'm also really excited to read the entirety of PAD's original run. The bits I've read were all phenomenal.

I am not going to read all your post, not to be rude, but because I want to avoid possible spoilers.

I wanted to comment and ask how the Hell have you had time to get to #40 already!!! Lol.
I was not that far behind you last week, and I am only ready to start #20.
You have doubled meeee.

I'd like to know what people think about the original X-Factor.
Even more than the Marvel nowadays seems to be giving much prominence to the original x-men.
I just read Massacre and Fall that I liked it more than the X-Men comics of the time.

The entire original X-Factor run is amazing. When the original X-Factor initially launched, it was some of my favorite stuff - because they weren't recycling old "X-Men foes" - they were making new ones, that still had that "old X-Men foe" vibe (Alliance of Evil = Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Apocalypse {originally} = Magneto, etc).
