New Exiles #1 - Marvel

The king is dead! Long live the king! My book is back! The hiatus turned out to be not really all that long. Thank god! Or, I guess I should say, thank Chris Claremont. And Tom Grummett of course. What a fantastic book. I don't know how Chris managed it, but he's got some of the best X-Men characters on this book. Some of the all-time best. Sabretooth, Psylocke, Rogue, Sage, Morph, Kitty Pryde and Mystiq. A nother world version of Mystique. A guy whom Creed saved his life, and then he asked him to join the Exiles. But really, that's all we know about him so far. But the team

is far from perfect. Everyone is a bit flawed. Which I think is what's going to make this book so interesting. I just told you about the mystery with Mystiq. Sage, upon besting Roma's father, was downloaded by Roma with all the information and memories about the omniverse that were in her head. And she was a god. So Sage is . . to say the least . . having a hard time processing everything. And, her alter-ego, Diana Fox, is showing up in there also. Now we know that Morph still has locked in side of him. We haven't seen any personality quirks lately. But you just know something's going to pop up sooner or later. Betsy is also a bit flawed. She's got some issues she left behind on her Earth . . Slaymaster . . so she's a bit skittish. Plus Creed isn't comfortable that she's invisible to technology. But he'll fix that this issue. Rogue is a bit untrusting. But she may have a reason. For some reason Creed doesn't want her to know that he's checking up on, and keeping an eye on . . everyone! And Kitty . . well, we're really not sure what's wrong with her. She seems normal . . but she also seems a bit . . anal . . or maybe obsessive compulsive. I'm not sure how to explain it. But she may be the smartest . . and most devious one of the bunch. Anyways, our story . . on the Earth in trouble . . starts out with the FF origin. Only this time it's not cosmic rays, but a meteor shower that hits their ship. They all perish except for Sue, who is saved by Namor. So now the team is going there, some 50 years later, because " . . palace projections state humanity faces something worse." But as soon as they arrive, it looks like Rogue may have been taken out. This book is going to be fantastic. Chris and Tom already seem to have a great connection. And they really seem to be having fun with what they're doing. I can't wait to see what future issues hold.
