Exiles #94 - Marvel

What a cool book. Like I've said a hundred times . . . ok, maybe 94 times . . . I love this book because nothing is safe. Characters come and go. Relationships come and go. We all know that the characters are never really gone, because they're encased in crystal somewhere in the palace, but . . . they don't come back. We get hints and teases that they may return, but . . . they don't. Which is good. Move on! The only thing that's been constant is Blink and Morph. They've been here since to beginning. And now Sabretooth has been around for quite a while. But everybody else has changed. Alot! Hell . . . even the Crystal Palace and the Tallus has changed. And they're the crux of the book. So like I said . . . nothing is safe and anything can happen. I think that makes for a very exciting book. This issue wraps up the current storyline. We're on an earth where Sue Richards has taken over as Madame Hydra. She's pretty much bent everyone to her will. That or she's brainwashed them all in to working for her. Everyone except Reed and his little band of misfits. Well in order to save his world, he's going to offer her the technology to access the multiverse. Countless world's for her to conquer. If she'll just leave this one alone. It's tempting, I think, but she doesn't want to give up on this world, I think, until everyone is broken. Including Reed. So of course there's the big battle, and it looks like nobody's going to win, until Sue presses a button and . . . . . . . . nothing. Their whole universe has been erased. Heather, and the insects back at the Crystal Palace, is a little confused. According to her monitor, universe 1720 is gone. Completely erased from her view screens. But . . . . . . Reed had a plan. With the help of his daughter, Valeria, basically . . . . . they rebooted. Rebooted their entire universe. And with it our heroes. I like it . . . . but . . . . I'm a little confused about the ending. It's explained a little . . but not really. Like . . if they came back . . . why wouldn't Sue and the Hydra people? And where did they go? And why in the final panel do we get a flash of someone in another universe killing Betsy? I don't think I missed anything, but . . . I'm a little confused. But . . . other than that, I love the book. Hopefully Chris Claremont will stay on this one for a long time.
