I just finally got caught up with X-factor, what the hell happened? The last three issues (33-35) are brutal. The stories are not good, but the art is the worst I've ever seen. How can they let this happen? I was loving it for the first 32 issues, but I'm not picking it up anymore.

This is a topic that you're just catching up on, too. A lot of people have been destroying X-Factor and dropping it the last three months, primarily because of the Larry Stroman art, but also because of the SI crossover between Peter David's two books, "X-Factor" and "She-Hulk". Personally, I haven't enjoyed the book this much since this new volume started. I am in the huge minority on this, and that opinion is fueled partially by nostalgia, but I love the introduction of Darwin and Longshot into the story, and Larry Stroman on a Peter David written "X-Factor" is life as it should be.
I've reviewed two of the issues; hopefully this will shed more light on the issue for you.

I dropped X-Factor last month, but not because of the art. Mostly it was because with all the crossovers and interrupted stories, I just didn't care anymore. The book was not the same anymore. I hadn't really liked many of the stories in about a year.

I just dropped it as well (I was reading in trades). It just jumped the shark, some people say it is due to the events, I dont know. All I can say is we got a few good stories in the beginning, and I guess I can be happy with that. If you havent all ready check out the Madrox mini that is out.
