I was confused by the title of the crossover because on the cover its called “He Loves You” but on the inside of X-Factor its called the “Darwin Awards”. Fortunately the plots a very straightforward super hero meet up. But it did make me wonder why Marvel even bothered to put this one out. Mainly I think it was just so Peter David could crossover his two books and still be a part of Secret Invasion.

The storyline is just ok. Its a solid Peter David story but it wont blow you away. X-Factor is hired to find Darwin by his father who wants to get reacquainted with him. She-Hulk and her Skrull bounty hunting partner Jazinda are hunting down a Skrull “Talisman” that is connected to Darwin. In standard super hero fashion She-Hulk and X-Factor fight, after much property damage they reach an understanding and then team up to defeat the foe. Hopefully this will tie in to the bigger picture for the Secret Invasion event.

The art was very hit or miss. Most of the missing done by the X-Factor team. I usually enjoy Larry Stromans art but for these books it just felt rushed and a little sloppy at times. The She-Hulk team did a beautiful job. The art has a real clean animated look. My one little complaint is that they kind of took the Hulk out of She-Hulk. They made her look like a very tall green super model. Its a very little complaint cause I really liked the art.

Overall I cant recommend this crossover to anyone unless your a Peter David fan or need to have every Secret Invasion tie in. If your either one you will probably get these books anyway.

2 out of 5. Would have been 3 if the art were better in X-Factor.

I just got up to date on SI and I wanted to fill you all in on what I think so far. First the list of books I read. SI 3,4 mighty avengers 15,16 si: front line

Now the reviews. First the main book. In book 3 we find spider woman trying to play mind games with tony stark I think bendis is trying to do the same with us. Nick fury shows up to save the heroes in ny. Book 4 is realy setting the stage for the next book. Wovelie been sent after spider woman. Nick jumps out not before diching ms marvel. Looks like rescue of mr fantasic is coming. This story has been ok so far, the neatest thing for me is return of Nick. I hope he kicks Iron Man off his high metal horse very soon.

 In mighty avengers we see how pym and Electra were switched. Ok, somewhat interesting, but should have been relegated to some sort of mini. I want more from a title that has the word “Mighty” in the title.

Finally in front line we get the avg guy on the street pov. Of all of them fl is my top pick. Why? Of them all it’s the most true fealing. Less predicable
