X-Factor #114

X-Factor #114 was published by Marvel Comics in July 1995 as part of the broader X-Men line of the mid-nineties. During this era, the series was navigating the aftermath of the Age of Apocalypse event and the intricate editorial mandates that defined the X-franchise at the time. The narrative focused on the team's shifting dynamics as they functioned as a government-sanctioned mutant task force, capturing the darker, high-stakes tone prevalent in 1990s comic book storytelling.

The issue features the artistic contributions of penciler Steve Bunche and writer John Francis Moore, who were tasked with maintaining the momentum of a series that had undergone multiple creative shifts since its inception. The visual style reflects the muscular, kinetic aesthetic typical of the decade, prioritizing intense character interactions and dense page layouts. While not the most famous issue of the run, it stands as a clear example of the mid-nineties approach to serialized superhero fiction, where individual issues often served as bridge chapters within longer, interconnected editorial crossovers.
