X-Factor #43
X-Factor draws one step closer to determining who is
targeting former mutants for death...but the answer may wind up hitting too close to home. Meanwhile, Cyclops has a very particular mission that could spell the end for Madrox and his new partner. And Rictor finds himself in a battle to the death with...nah. Why ruin the surprise?

She IS a grown woman now. Plus David set this up towards the beginning of the series when he showed Jamie and a much older Layla on their wedding night. I would agree if she was still a tween, but she's obviously been in the future a while.

Hrrm. I've been pretty vocal in my dislike of the shock ending brigade that started with #39. I'm still not happy about it, but this issue has been vastly superior. My one complaint? I don't give a flying fuck about the future Layla is in. Those sequences bored me to death. I was glad this issue had a lot of non-Jamie/Layla stuff going on.
Still, this was in contention for pick of the week. Also... did not see that shock ending coming.

I forgot to say... I'm getting really tired of David's "Don't discuss the books on the internet" crap in the recap page of every book. It's now bordering on annoying. I love David a lot but... man if I don't want to write a nasty-gram about it to him. ;-)

@PraxJarvin Seriously, how long before people start going out of their way to ruin the book out of spite?

even if she is an adult....she was a kid like a few months ago for jamie. i'm still a little weirded out about it but i still liked it.

I liked it alot. I'm still uncomfortable with the idea of him making out with a girl he was basically taking care of as if she was a daughter or niece like a month ago.
I really do think Layla Miller is my favorite marvel character.

The cover stymies me. If that's Layla I'm appalled.
