X factor By Peter David

As X-Factor unloads their hopes, fears and darkest secrets to Doc Samson, Jamie Madrox decides to gather up his stray dupes. The trouble is, two don't want to go quietly: the married priest and the agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.! And when Hydra comes calling, will Jamie become their secret weapon? With Mutant Town under siege thanks to the terrorist X-Cell, X-Factor races the clock to keep every former mutant from being imprisoned...what an awful time for the Isolationist to strike! Then, after the events of Messiah Complex, X-Factor is a shambles. COLLECTING: X-Factor (2006) 13-24, 28-32; X-Factor: The Quick and the Dead One-Shot ; X-Factor Special: Layla Miller One-Shot
