*Marvel: After Jean Grey’s return from the dead (no, the first one), Marvel decided to employ the then largely-dormant original X-Men in a new title, X-Factor, with the peculiar twist that half the team would masquerade as mutant-hunters, who would then take the mutants they ‘captured’ to a place of safety, where they could be trained in the correct use of their powers while finding a refuge from those who hated them. Quite why Marvel figured such a self-loathing concept should be a hit is lost to the past, but the idea was quietly jettisoned after the first twenty or so issues, becoming just another X-Book – and rather better for it! Entered into our catalogue under our Catalogue Expansion programme, we have X-Factor’s first issue through to #26 – conclusion of the Fall of the Mutants storyline – newly listed for your delight. We suspect most folks will be interested in issue #6, the first full appearance of Apocalypse, but #24 features the first full Archangel and the origin of Apocalypse, while  Freedom Force, Boom-Boom, Tower, Frenzy, Skids, Rusty and more all make early appearances in this run.
