in X-Factor (1986) #87

Okay, so I really love X-Factor. And I really love Peter David’s writing. And this is probably my all-time favorite single issue. The members of X-Factor have been through some trauma, so each of them has to talk to a therapist (Doc Samson). This is A+ character work with equally stunning art by Joe Quesada. (The style shifts between characters.) You can feel the creative team taking a big risk, and it WORKS.
