VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by PETER DAVID
Penciled by PABLO RAIMONDI
Cover by GLENN FABRY Never has a title said it all quite like "The Middle East Side is Burning." X-Factor's battle with Arcade may be over, but the former Mutant Town is now paying the price. Walled in, cut off from any possible aid, the residents of the Middle East Side are hemmed in by flames on all sides, and their only hope of survival are the embattled members of X-Factor.
REVIEW by Brian Fisher
Are you reading one of the best Marvel titles being published on a monthly basis yet? No? For shame! Whether you're an X-Fan or not this book can be enjoyed by anyone who likes well-crafted and intelligent action. While this particular issue is a little light on X-Factor themselves, it does explore some of the unfortunate residents of Mutant Town (now being referred to as the "middle-east side", for more than one appropriate reason) as Arcade's bombs tear through the neighborhood. It's also a nice testament to the spirit of New York and the way it can put aside differences when people are in danger. So start reading it already! I'm not gonna tell you again!
