X-Factor: Many Lives of Madrox / Isolationist (2006-2007)

David deepens every character. Rahne's pregnancy. Layla Miller's terrifying precognition. Rictor's depression after losing his powers. Madrox's identity crisis — literally, since his duplicates keep going rogue. The Isolationist sends X-Factor against a villain who absorbs mutant powers. David weaves soap opera, mystery, and superheroics into something uniquely his own. The Messiah Complex tie-in issues (25-27) are among the crossover's best chapters
