New Exiles #2 - Marvel

Our little group of heroes are sinking waste deep in to their new mission, and world. The group that went to this Earth 6706, consists of Sabretooth, Rogue, Mystiq and Psylocke. But as soon as they got there they took a hit. And it appeared that Rogue took it the worst. They're hit by a group of bad-guys working for the Panther. They call themselves Bloodforce and they consist of Rough Justice, Blackdog and Bloodwitch. She's a vampire. Unfortunately, she does take a bite out of Sabretooth, and then turns him on his teammates. He and Psylocke have a real throw-down. But then everything is broken up by a blast of lightning. I assume it was Ororo. It turns out that Rogue is saved by a mer-man. He looks an awful lot like Aquaman, but he says his name is Remy, and people call him Gambit. Psylocke and Sabretooth find themselves in Alexandria in Ororo's palace. She is indeed the one that saved them. Wolverine is also there. He's Ororo's lover. After the meteors his, some 50 years ago, it shattered the surface world. Most of the continents took a hit, losing ground to the ever expanding ocean. But the Western Hemisphere took it the worst. So when our heroes arrive, Ororo is having a diplomatic discussion with Kang. He's the Emperor of the seas, which now encompass more of the Earth than they ever have. Meanwhile Remy and Rogue, who want to get to Alexandria, have first gone off in search of Remy's parents who are in trouble. The find them in a hut in the middle of the Libyan Desert. It turns out that Remy's mother is Sue Storm which means that his father is Namor. Right? Well . . yes and no. This is the part I'm a little confused about. He looks like Namor . . eyes, and ears and all . . but he also looks like T'challa, the Black Panther. So it appears that his father is this Panther that we've been hearing about. But Ororo talked about Namor and the Panther as if they were 2 different people. And does that mean that the Panther is good . . or bad. And with that up in the air . . Ororo's role is also up in the air. And what about Mystiq? What happened to him. Nobody seems to know where he's at. Well Chris Claremont & Tom Grummett have really hit the ground running with this series. Which, really, is nothing less than I expected of them. And did you see that awesome cover? It's by . . Michael Golden. Whodathunkit? As much as I enjoyed the first series, it appears that this one is going to be even better. Fantabulous!
