Okay, then. (X-Factor #32)
I wanna hang out there. (X-Factor #32)
Please note that Boom Boom pauses to put on sunglasses before doing cool cool stuff. Boom Boom knows what’s up. (X-Factor #32)
MVP. (X-Factor #32)
Well, that’s certainly one way to do that. (X-Factor #33)
In Boom Boom’s defense, shopping is terrible. (X-Factor #33)
Go set something on fire for justice, kiddo! (X-Factor #33)
BEAST! We missed you! (X-Factor #33)
Y’know, most people would just send a C&D. (X-Factor #33)
Kinda answered your own question, there, buddy. (X-Factor #34)
Nanny and the Orphan-Maker walk the line between sad and terrifying SO beautifully. (X-Factor #34)
N’astirh got no time for your rationalizations, Hodge. (X-Factor #34)

I always loved the effect as in the Beast frame, where he’s literally coming out of the frame. There’s an even better one in Inferno, where a demon’s biting the frame.
If you’re comfortable answering this, what’s your source for the As Mentioned panels? The reason I ask is that the coloring is much more vivid than that in my old X-Factor issues — the panel of Beast from XF #33 shockingly so.

The difference in quality is significant, and I like it. I might finally give Marvel Unlimited a whirl!
