Exiles has been going for ages now and yet nobody knows about it! (Or at least it seems that way.)
It's about a group of mismatched rejects, leftovers, nobodies and 'cult following' marvel characters from alternate dimensions and timelines who are on a 'sliders style'series of adventures through the Marvel universe and all it's alternate versions.
This allows almost anything to happen, one month they kill spiderman, the next he's on the team!
The team itself is fluid and the line up has changed quite often although some core characters have emerged. Some team members are clever new spins on old characters and others are versions of existing heroes and villians that are no longer used in the mainstream Marvel universe.
Anyone else read this and find it as much fun as I?
Exiles is the only comic I buy right now.
I would have probably skipped over the entire thing if Blink from Age of Apocalypse wasn't in the comic.
Although she's been my favorite for years, the comic has a great direction, awesome characters, and a widely varied storyline that keeps me checking too often at the comic book shop.
Edit: I highly recommend picking this one up to anyone. It's one of the rare comics you just can't miss.
I've liked Blink ever since the fight against Holocaust in the Age of Apocalypse.
My name is "Blink", who do you think is faster...
Still gives me goosebumps now! :)
I have read a few issues of Exiles, I do not have them in front of me so I can't tell you which exactly(the galatus storyline - Whats with Thunderbird and dying? Seems like that is his purpose in the Marvel Universe) and I thought it was Grrrrreat!
But with all the money I spend on D&D I cant afford comics at this time.
Love EXILES. One of the best comics out there, if you are buying it, keep doing it, if not start. :)
Keeping the exiles alive. Buy this comic, its worth your time.
