Where it came from
Published in February 1993, X-Factor #87 serves as the opening chapter of the 'X-Aminations' story arc. Written by Peter David with interior art by Joe Quesada and inks by Al Milgrom, the issue follows the team as they undergo mandatory psychological evaluations conducted by Dr. Leonard Samson. This narrative device allowed the creators to provide a deep, introspective look into the troubled histories and personal motivations of the team members, moving away from standard superhero action to prioritize character development.
The issue is widely regarded by fans and critics as a high point of the 1990s X-Men line, specifically for its sharp, witty dialogue and its innovative approach to ensemble storytelling. Joe Quesada’s dynamic pencils, coupled with David’s penchant for humor and pathos, successfully humanized the characters and established a unique identity for the X-Factor title during a period defined by larger, crossover-heavy events in the comic book industry.
