X-Factor 251 Summary
Looks like my internet connection is finally fixed and I can post again. Yay!
Meanwhile, back at the ex-X-headquarters ....
Darwin complains explains to Monet that he could kill her instantly. She dares him to do it.
Cut to the rest of our gang surrounded by the Lords of Hell. (As the last person to get out of this situation in Journey Into Mystery last year) where's Loki when you need him? They crack Layla's shield, knocking her out. X-Factor puts up a good fight, aided by Jezebel, who runs off with our team back to the ruins of their home.
They find Monet standing over the battered Darwin. Layla bends down to check on him, and he whispers to her that Monet is already dying, did Layla know? Layla whispers "yes", and the team regroups to the outdoor concert stage in Central Park. Jezebel explains that whichever Hell Lord kills the seven billionth human born gets to rule the Earth, and somehow they've decided that's Tier. (Whether a mutant-Asgardian hybrid qualifies as "human" is a question someone really ought to ask.)
Just as our team decides they're in over their heads and need help, the Bad Guys show up. 'Star rushes into battle and gets his arm broken. The Lords promise worse if Tier doesn't die immediately.
A good issue. The Hell Lords act like they did last year when they showed up in JiM, more likely to attack each other than anyone else. IDK, I'm just blockbuster-weary and can't really get into the big fights anymore. I've seen too many in close succession. Thoughts?
