New Exiles #10 - Marvel




This issue finally wraps up the current story-line. More or less. Psylocke has broken free from the influence of Ogun . . who was actually getting her incredible power under his influence so that he could help the French. Meanwhile, After attempting to reprogram Sage, Purge finds out that she's not that easy to take down. Especially considering that she has an entire other personality living inside her head. They have a pretty heated battle, but Sage is still trying to hang on to her soul so she makes it pretty rough on both of them. And Rogue's team, with the help of Emma Frost's Force-X, actually do quite a bit of damage to the French Armada. Something interesting happens during the battle though. One of the 'werewolf' type creatures attacks Rogue and rips her sleeve. When that happens we see this intricate tattoo that she has all up and down her arm. But it seems like she doesn't want anyone to know that it's there, let alone what it is or why. So I think that's something that's going to pop up in the future when Chris starts putting together her story, and the planet she came from. It's all a mystery right now. But not as much a mystery as Cat's origins. So, more or less, this pretty much wraps up this story-line. And our team came out on top again . . without any losses. But, they still don't know what Cat's discovered back at the Crystal Palace . . the Omniverse is slowly dying. I've said this before, but I think Chris Claremont is the perfect writer for this story. We all know how good he is at the team books, and he seems to have a real passion for this one. I also thoroughly enjoy Tom Grummett's artwork every issue. This book has continued to be everything that I hoped it would be.
