I think I’d like to know what the odds are of us seeing more Madrox 🙂
Agreed – I’d love to see more stories of X-Factor Investigations.
I really enjoyed the series.
SPOILER (perhaps)
So is the new series that Peter is working with Bendis going to be X FACTOR INVESTIGATIONS?
I can’t wait to see what the new series is! I just bought some Peter David Hulk backissues and absolutely can’t wait for the visionaries book!
It would explain why he needs to coordinate with Bendis – presumably Quicksilver will play a big role in House of M, and of coure noone wrote a better Quicksilver than PAD.
I’ll have to go get this. I have to say that PAD’s Quicksilver is the best that I’ve read and he explains why Quicksilver is quick tempered.
I do want to know what you are working with Bendis on.
1 The whole series has been great, although I think I’d be a little dissapointed if I didn’t know something else was coming up. The scene where she revealed her mutant power manifested was almost chilling, I’d love to know whether PAD described that in the script or whether it was the artist, but a great scene either way. Then that last scene with Guido changing the door, aw, that was great. Man I spent a decent bit of today going through X Factor back issues, good day.
My reaction, in a word:
MORE!
In two words:
More, please?

My full review is on my blog, but I will say that I’m very pleased by the final panel and editor’s letter.
Yeah, the final panel was great. Yeah, the letter from the editor was great. But the best part of the issue was the question raised: Who or what is Madrox? Was Clay just blowing smoke? And, if so, how did he duplicate? Questions that NEED answers.
A very satisfying end to a fantastic series.
Good sir, I shan’t rest until I have more of this good series.
I have no comments about the story, but the coloring is so dark. And no, my eyes aren’t getting that old.
Short version: I loved the ending. There was only one major problem. It ended too fast. I hope there is more to come.
Jim in Iowa
I dug the ending, and that last panel filled me with hope.
The series was interesting, and no one has written a better Jamie Madrox.
Excellent finale, Mr. David. Bravo. 🙂
Fantastic series PAD, and I loved the Black Widow spider motiff.
I have to agree with an earlier comment that the series ended too quickly but fortunately I have the Hulk and Fallen Angel to read.
And lest I forget Soul Searchers and Company.

It was very cool. But I don’t understand a fwe points. If the girl had already Clay why she married Madrox? And what’s the point in having Madrox wearing always that T-shirt?
Anyway, I want a monthly Peter David’s X-factor (and Hulk, Captain Marvel, Fallen Angel, Young Justice, Spyboy, etc.). And if it means the old issues being collected in TPBs that would be great too.
Just, I don’t see the point in having Bendis for the ride.:(
An excellent ending to a story that got better and beter with each chapter. Great job, Peter! Looking forward to more!
“If the girl had already Clay why she married Madrox?”
Because Clay was working for both Sheila and her husband. He didn’t know she had designs on her husband’s empire, and Sheila wasn’t sure that she could count on him to make the jump to her side when the time came. I actually tried to come up with a way to make that crystal clear in the book, but it was, y’know, even more info dump in an already exposition-heavy issue. I didn’t have the page count to be able to make it remotely elegant. So I left it out and crossed my fingers that the omission wouldn’t confuse people.
“what’s the point in having Madrox wearing always that T-shirt?”
If we ever do have another series with Madrox in it, I’m going to show him getting dressed in the morning and revealing that he has a closet full of clothes that are absolutely identical. Einstein did the same thing: Identical black suits because he didn’t want to have to expend brain power deciding what to wear. In Jamie’s case he just doesn’t like making decisions at all (part of the character) so he has the same outfit for every day of the week.
PAD
I have a few questions:
1) If a baseball game of a team full of Jamie Madroxes in blue shirts played a group of Jamie Madroxes in green shirts, who would win?
2) Could Guido find a rock so big that he couldn’t lift it, hit himself with something, then attempt to the lift the rock again and actually lift it?
3) If Rahne has a super sense of smell, how can she stand riding the New York subway, let alone walk by Jamie’s fridge?
4) Five Jamie Madroxes would all share the same DNA. That means they be family. Could they go Family Fued?

If I’m not mistaken, they did something similar for one of the new Scooby Doo (animated) movies — Zombie Island, I think? Shaggy was packing his suitcase, and you see stacks of the green shirts and brown pants… which was one of the things that I loved — they poked fun at a lot of the old series things that now, as adults, we’d question…

I really loved this series! I also liked the sub-plot! But was Rahn responsible for the SPOILER
death?
re: Einstein’s Clothes…
You love that info bit, don’t you. You used it to explain why the Hulk always had purple pants, too.
You could do a whole arc on Jamie’s changing opinons on clothes, whereas in X-Factor he went from fashion plate to wearing unstable molecule t-shirts (which is how I explain his Ren and Stimpy shirts that could merge to become a “Ren & Stimpy” shirt) to the new one, which from the design, I’d assume has some of the functionality of his old costume that helps him control his dupe generation?
I’ve read a number of reviews of the book that criticize Andy Schmits letter in the back of the book…about it sounds like he’s being heavy handed as an editor….I didn’t get that impression…and that PAD is working with him, and he’s part of Tom Breevort’s stable, I wouldn’t think he was a heavy handed type of editor.
If PAD does go ahead with a new X-Factor series, then I think it would be a perfect time for another Visionaries book. I’d love to read the earlier stuff.
I really liked it, Peter. I’d like to see more of you working with Jamie, Guido, and Rahne.
I still feel, however, that you need a better artist. With all due respect to Raimondi and Hennessy, who have a good sense of the figure work and everything, and who handled that shot of Jamie’s wife morphing extremely well, I still think their arbitrary placement of blacks on parts of the body that in a manner inconsistent with the lightining of the scene (and with the lack of such blacks on the rest of the body) hurts the look of the art. I’m not sure if perhaps this is not their normal style, but was done for the “film noir” aspect of the story, but if so, it wasn’t conveyed very well, as I never got a “film noir” feel from the art. Such a motiff should use blacks consistently. I also thought the cover was very poorly executed. It looked like it was drawn with a thick magic marker, the design was boring, and in general, was not evocative of the scope that should be conveyed by the last part of a five-part story. Had I not bought the series becuase you were writing it, I would’ve given that cover a pass.
I thought this was a great miniseries. Like everyone else, I hope we see more of Jamie, Guido, and Rahne’s investigations. Even though Rahne is currently being written well in New X-Men, PAD writes closer to the old Rahne we all know and love.
As for Jamie’s shirt, maybe from wearing that containment suit all the time, he grew to like the design?
On question to PAD: If you ever have the chance to use Jamie again, would you ever consider giving him a new codename? Am I the only one who ever thought that “Multiple Man” was really lame? (And not in the intentionally lame way that “Strong Guy” works.)
“would you ever consider giving him a new codename?”
Would you consider not giving him any codename? Jamie, or Mr. Madrox should work.
PAD, thank you a lot for the information.
The Hulk has purple pants because that is the color that polyester turns into when bombarded by Gamma rays!
At least, that’s my theory. Do I win a No-Prize?
Hi, first time posting, but tought this would be a good start!!! I’m from Brazil and just finished reading both Fallen Angel and Madrox… And all I can say is that those two are the best things I read in comics last year!!! And both “finales” are perfect, intriguing and left me wanting more and more of the characters!!!
Great work, Peter!!!
BTW, great idea on the t-shirt thing… Very cool, and Pablo Raimondi’s (is it spelled right?) design for the character, putting the logo from the old Multiple Man uniform was just AWESOME!!!
Rodrigo
Peter, so Jamie is mimicking Bruce Banner’s satorial sense?
Might you at least have him wear different colored UNDERwear? It would be symbolic of a the multiple men who look the same on the surface but is different underneath?
Btw, nice dual plots showing Jamie acting with a team and acting, ahem, solo.
— Ken from Chicago
Madrox was one of the most enjoyable stories I’ve ever read, and I’ve been reading comics for 20+ years. The “film noir” idea was a homerun, with plenty of untapped potential. I would love to see the characters continue in any forum – Madrox or X Factor Investigations. I am a huge PAD X-Factor fan, so the possibility of more is fantastic. How many copies do you need sold a month to justify a new title, because that’s how many I’m prepared to buy right now.
Excellent job! Your writing elevates the whole medium.
“I’ve read a number of reviews of the book that criticize Andy Schmits letter in the back of the book…about it sounds like he’s being heavy handed as an editor….”
God as my witness, some fans look for something to complain about. Andy was not remotely heavy-handed. The suggestions he did make were improvements. He was the one, for instance, who asked me to add the first person narrative. To say nothing of the fact that the series wouldn’t have existed if Andy hadn’t spearheaded it. Fans should be singing his praises on the basis of five issues worth of stories, not condemning him on the basis of how they perceived a one page essay. And feel free to reproduce this comment anywhere that people are complaining and tell ’em it comes from me.
PAD
Then again, Peter, you know the reactionaries will just turn around and say, “Aha! Peter David doesn’t think fans should criticize editors! Doesn’t he believe in free speech?” 🙂
To say nothing of the fact that the series wouldn’t have existed if Andy hadn’t spearheaded it. Fans should be singing his praises on the basis of five issues worth of stories
I’ve noticed Andy’s name attached to many recent favorites, and I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s one of the best new editors in the industry. Probably EiC material someday.
1Awsome. I want one as soon as the t-shirts come out
Loved the issue, as per usual. I liked the letter at the back alot, and I’m crossing my fingers the recently announced “New Ongoing At Marvel” is going to be “X-Factor Investigations”. This series and characters were too good for a limited. Someone get on the horn to Marvel to throw Jamie into a guest stint on NY-X just to keep his in everyone’s eye.
Only minor complaint about the whole issue:
Gøddámņ Shelia’s husband must be quick on the uptake. As follows his mental process went something along the lines of: “Hmmm, I’ve just been hit in the head with a painball, I better lie down on the ground and pretend that I’m dead.”
I dunno about you guys, but if I got hit in the head I’d be like “What the hëll? Who’s shooting friggin paint gun pellets at my head?!”
Griping aside, that did lead into Madrox’s ever so cool and random “Paint Gun” line and it was a hellova curve to throw the audiece cuz I was totally convinced that Jamie blew that guy away for about 2 pages.
more Madrox, dammit! NOW!
You know what’s funny? I’ve never heard of Madrox or the other characters, but when I read the plot description of Peter in early interviews, I was sold. And after I saw a few pages with art by Pablo and team, I was REALLY sold. So now I find myself interested in a character I didn’t know he even existed. The concept was great, the execution fantastic: all I hope is that there’s more to come. Please.
Niko
Loved it. X-Factor Investigations (if it comes about) will jump right to my sub list.
I too enjoyed the series and hope for another X-Factor run.
The only thing that bothered me reading the series (and most books the last couple of months) was how obtrusive the advertisements were. It felt like they were popping off of the page at me, especially that nasty truth.com one of the sewn eyelids. A number of the ads just took me right out of the story.
It made really appreciate reading the Hulk Visionaries trade. No ads!

You know, Jamie, Rahne, and Guido were the first superhero genre characters I ever primarily thought of by their real names – as people rather than as their identities.
Madrox is, in my opinion, the best thing that Marvel have put out this year, and I’ll probably pick up the trade when it comes out as well – it’ll look nice on the bookshelf. Or at least nicer than the five issues.
Thank you very much, Mr. David, for giving us fans who used to pick up your comic on the way home from school something that is brilliant, modern, comfortable, and welcome in many ways.
Also – Madrox is on the list for possibly being voted into the next expansion of Heroclix. Everyone should vote for Jamie – I want to see how they make rules for him. Also, he’s the best one they have.
I’d imagine for Heroclix, Madrox would have like leadership and then the maybe common figures would be Madrox Dupes., kinda like Doom and the doombots. (but then I know there’s bunches of new powers and rules since when I’d first read them)
It’s a good thing that I’m typing because I’m speechless. Madrox was beyond brilliant. I had anticipated it so eagerly that I was sure I was going to be let down. I should have known better. The development of Jamie’s character from his mayo jar days floored me. The Hamlet of mutants =)
I just wish that they would have let you have Lorna. Someone needs to rescue that poor character before she’s typecast as the psychochick until the end of days.
Let’s get the chant going folks!! Loud enough for The Shed Of Ideas to get the clue!!!
Madrox Monthly!! Madrox Monthly!! Madrox Monthly!! Madrox Monthly!! Madrox Monthly!! Madrox Monthly!!
Just finished the miniseries last night (saved ’em all and just got a chance to read it), and it was amazing. My favorite of PAD’s recent works, beating out Fallen Angel by a smidgen. I sincerely hope we get more of it.
It’s so long since I bought any comics and hearing about PAD doing a madrox LS i couldn’t resist – and I’m in no way disappointed!
As has been said a lot already – I need more! :D:D
nice job!
gimme monthly and i’ll give money X-D
