...the issue as well as my commentary on it. Keeping yourself safe is more important than engaging with a tweet, so mute me for the night and come back when you feel safe doing so.

Tonight's issue opens in the immediate aftermath of Warren's operation, as the once high-flying...

...terrible fate that awaits Warren as the issue–and this first era of X-Factor–come to their tragic close.

These early days of X-Factor have encouraged the question: what is the cost of refusing to grow up?

Evidently, for Warren, it costs everything.

Across the country, absolutely-awful-person and yellow journalist supreme Trish Tilby arrives in Warren's hospital room for an exposé on X-Factor.

"No! Stop! It's not true! I love you!" he shouts as he unleashes a furious optic blast at the spectre of his missing wife, and greatest regret.
