X-Factor by Peter David Omnibus Vol. 3 is the reinvention volume: Jamie Madrox turns X-Factor into a detective agency in Mutant Town after M-Day, and the book becomes mutant noir. Siryn, Rictor, M, Layla Miller and Strong Guy give the series a tone no other X-book has. It is clever, wounded and strange, exactly why this era has its own collector audience.
