It'll probably be a Lost-esque ending I'd say. PAD did hint at finally getting around to fully explaining the Longshot/Shatterstar stuff and honestly.. if he just does that I'll be fine.

I imagine a new X-Factor book could be in the works for sometime this fall with Marvel NOW pt. 2, though even if it happens, PAD probably won't be associated with it and the cast could change completely..

But I really liked this book because he took a bunch of very interesting B-list (at best) characters from various X-related titles that were popular in the 90s (and had basically done nothing since their respective titles came to a close...) and put them all together, along with adding in a few other faces along the way. That premise sounds like it wouldn't work out to well.. yet it did. Quite well, actually. Nearly a decade's worth of well, to be exact. I enjoyed the early parts (before the change to 200) more, though I still picked up an issue or two after. It will be missed. And I'd love to see many of these characters still be used in the future. And not just as an X-Man for a total of five seconds, please.
