Essential X-FactorVol. 3: Many lives of Madrox

Five words to strike fear into the hearts of spies and evildoers everywhere: Jamie Madrox, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Except that when Madrox decides it's time to start gathering in the stray dupes that are still wandering around, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent doesn't especially want to go...and S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't especially inclined to let him go. Plus: "Remember X-Factor" numbered 87; "X-Aminations," the analysis issue?

Sure you do. Everybody does. Well, Peter David and new regular artist Pablo Raimondi evoke memories of that classic tale with "Re-X-Aminations" as the new team unloads their hopes, fears and darkest secrets to an attentive Doc Samson.

This title collects "X-Factor" numbered 13-17.
