Writer Peter David returns to his fan-favorite run on X-Factor for a new tale in July's X-Men Legends #5.

David's era on X-Factor starred Polaris, Havok, Wolfsbane, Strong Guy, Quicksilver, Multiple Man and their government liaison Val Cooper. X-Men Legends #5 by David and artist Todd Nauck features an in-continuity adventure that fills in the missing puzzle pieces for a story told between X-Factor #75 and #76.

"X-Factor are old friends of mine, and I was delighted when Marvel gave me the opportunity to revisit them," David said. "I have to admit, I was a little concerned since so many years have passed. But the moment I started writing them it was like no time had gone by it all."

  • Mutants have taken hostages, and X-Factor is taking the blame! But before judgment is rendered for Polaris, Havok, Wolfsbane, Strong Guy, Quicksilver, and Multiple Man, Val Cooper and X-Factor will take the stand! But who’s telling the truth, and what really went down at the Latverian Embassy? It all makes sense…from a certain point of view.

The premise behind X-Men Legends is to bring legendary X-Men creators back to their groundbreaking runs, in order to tie up loose ends and resolve long-standing plot points that change the past and future of the X-Men. The first story arc put the spotlight on Adam X and the mystery of the third Summers Brother, which will be followed by Louise and Walter Simonson also returning for an X-Factor story starring Apocalypse.

X-Men Legends #5 goes on sale July 21 from Marvel Comics.
