Peter David & X-Factor: a perfect match
Peter David's new X-FACTOR series rivals Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's ASTONISHING X-MEN in excellence. Thanks largely to the success of the 5-issued MADROX: MULTIPLE CHOICE limited series, Peter David was able to resuscitate the X-Factor title. In the aftermath of the sweeping HOUSE OF M and DECIMATION story arcs and as a direct continuation of the aforementioned Madrox limited series, Jamie Madrox is still heavily invested in his work in the private investigator field. However, his detective firm undergoes a name change, from XXX Investigations to X-Factor Investigations (because its members thought it sounded too much like they were investigating pornography).

Peter David Surprises With X-Factor Reboot
X-Factor has been many things, from a team reprising the original X-Men line-up to a cast of B-characters led by Cyclops's brother Havok. With "The Longest Night," however, Peter David uses the team name for Madrox's new mutant detective agency. While many of the team members have been on previous X-Factor incarnations, the title isn't bogged down with the past like the main X-books often seem. Instead, this is a fresh start for X-Factor that even non-superhero fans will find appealing with its neo-noir artwork and pacing.
