Exiles #84 - Marvel

This is one of my favorite books. Why?? Because they're always willing to shake things up. This issue, they're starting to do it again. After the whole Proteus affair, the Exiles decide that it's time for a little down time. But, the bugs who run the Crystal Palace, feel otherwise. They feel that the fractured universes that are waiting to be mended, are just going to get worse by the Exiles inaction. We get to see a hint of all the members different realities, but ultimately this issue is about the bugs firing the team. They are called into action in Heather's universe, although it seems in the end, that it could've been saved by Alpha Flight without their involvement. But, once they are all together there, the tallus disappears, and the "Jarvis" looking character shows up to let them know they've been dismissed. "Sorry. But you couldn't be relied on. So the bosses decided it's best for everyone to replace you. But they wanted me to let you know, there's no hard feelings. . . . . . thanks for everything gang! Have a nice life!" He blinks out, and they're stranded. Like I said, this book is always shaking things up. Just when you think they're going in one direction, they come along and change everything. I like it.
