In a castle of ice in a far off land, a fearsome being called the Isolationist sits and waits and plans...except he need wait no longer. He is coming to Mutant Town, and is seeking out Jamie Madrox. But whether he and X-Factor will be enemies or allies pales in comparison to the shocking developments involving Guido's new job offer, Rictor's unexpected call to action, Siryn and Monet's new case, and--most stunning of all--Layla's disturbing discovery of something even she didn't know.
BONUS REVIEW by W. DAL BUSH
First one of these I've read in a while, and boy do I not remember why. Every time I pick up an issue (I think my last was the Civil War stuff?) Peter David and his artist of the day manage to put together a killer mix of drama, humor and suspense, with a sprinkling of action to keep it unpredictable. Hopefully one of you folks who'll pick this up for the Endangered Species backup will stick with it. I know I will. 8 Grahams
