David does a nice job here of creating stories that are relatively self-contained while still continuing the soap operatic X-Factor saga. The high point is the final issue and its focus on Layla -- what she's done, what she sees now, and what her goals are. It's entirely englightening. The Rahne focus in the first issue is good too, especially since it responds to issues from X-Force. The rest of the story is OK, with some battle with an Irish deity or something.
