X-factor #87 ("X-Animations") was masterful. Peter David, Joe Quesada, Marie Javens. In ~22 pages, the creative team presents seven (!) insightful character moments. I never understood Quicksilver before this issue, and I still think about his monologue a couple of times a year, three decades later.

You have named LITERALLY the single most influential comic I read as a teen. It made me huge fans of all of the X-Factor characters but even more importantly for a young writer -- it completely changed how I saw superheroes and how I wanted to write them.
And it was a big reason I used a therapy session as part of the narrative structure for my Rogue & Gambit mini-series.
