X-Factor #115

X-Factor #115 was published in July 1995 during a tumultuous period for Marvel's mutant titles. The issue falls within the 'Legion Quest' crossover event, which served as a direct prelude to the company-wide 'Age of Apocalypse' storyline. Written by John Francis Moore with interior art by Steve Epting, the narrative follows the X-Factor team as they contend with the reality-warping consequences of David Haller’s attempts to rewrite history, marking a pivotal moment where the established X-Men continuity was temporarily dismantled and reimagined.

The design and tone of this era reflected a shift toward darker, more consequential storytelling as Marvel experimented with high-stakes status quo changes. Steve Epting’s clean, cinematic style provided a grounded anchor for a story defined by escalating chaos and the looming threat of an alternate reality. The issue is remembered by collectors primarily for its significance as a narrative bridge rather than as an individual character study, serving as a vital piece of the broader mid-nineties X-Men puzzle that redefined the mutant line for that generation of readers.
