X-Factor: Invisible Woman Has Vanished / Second Coming (2009-2010)

David's run hits its stride. The team investigates increasingly strange cases while the interpersonal drama intensifies. Shatterstar and Rictor's relationship becomes explicit — a landmark moment for LGBTQ representation in mainstream comics. The Second Coming tie-ins bring the team into the crossover without losing David's voice. Issue 50 is a milestone. One of the most consistently excellent X-runs of the era
