I kind of understand why this book was cancelled. The pacing feels off, 4 issues are covered in this book and I feel like nothing of substance has really happened. It also doesn't help that the 2 of the issue are based in the Mojo-verse which is a big eyeroll for me. I finish out with Volume 2 because I like the team (Queer X-men FTW!).

I’m not super into the mojoverse and a lot of the characters seem under utilised. I’d like it more if issue 4 wasn’t a not included event comic but events just aren’t my thing in general.

i have very mixed feelings about this one. on the one hand, what a fun team of x-people to combine! on the other, the writing gets a little heavy handed sometimes (this is possibly the best/worst daken i've read but also i do appreciate him as a foil to prodigy) and it feels like everything just kind of starts abruptly. but i'm interested enough in where this is going to pick up the next volume, for sure.

I LOVE this hodge-podge of a team. Who would have thought Hope, Northstar, Prodigy, Protege, Akihiro, Polaris & Eyeboy could make such a great team? The crime-solving antics in this were great and the visit to the Mojoverse was super fun. I love the normalisation of queerness in this and the layers of depth that this book adds to Krakoa and the Mutants' new situation.

I like the idea of the X-factor, the premise is cool, but the only one of the four issues was interesting and most of the characters were unlikable.
