Here's how Marvel describes the issue:

"Civil War tie-in. Jamie Madrox comes face to face with the thing that terrifies him the most: Having to make a decision. The divisiveness of Civil War has spread to his own team, as half of them want to cooperate with the government, while the other half wants to take a stand against it. It's Jamie's decision that may well decide whether X-Factor stands or cracks apart...and things aren't being helped by Quicksilver, who offers Rictor the opportunity to get his powers back -- but at what price? Guest starring Quicksilver!"

X-Factor #9 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
