Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in November 1989, X-Factor #48 serves as a pivotal chapter in the 'Judgment War' storyline. The series, which focused on the original five X-Men members operating as mutant hunters, was navigating a complex editorial period that sought to integrate the team more tightly into the broader X-Men mythos while exploring the geopolitical tensions of the late Cold War era.
The issue features artwork by Paul Smith, a fan-favorite illustrator known for his clean lines and expressive character work during the earlier 1980s. Scripted by Louise Simonson, the story continues to push the characters toward the climactic events of the X-Tinction Agenda. Upon release, the issue was well-received for maintaining the momentum of the series and for Smith’s return to a franchise he had previously helped define during his acclaimed run on Uncanny X-Men.
