Exiles #23-25 With An Iron Fist

This was fascinating. Nice to see that Morrison's relationship with Marvel has improved, they seemed to really be enjoying the interview. Would love a "New X-Men Forever" written by Morrison.
As...
Exiles #20-22 - Legacy
First – a big error on my part. Issue 18 and 19 represented original series artist Mike McKone’s final issues on the book, and I had assumed he had one more story to go,...
Agree completely about the strength of the initial characters (barring Magnus, obviously). It says a lot that T-Bird only lasted 10 issues initially but was hugely popular, thanks to his memorable...
So Lame – the Exiles in the Mojoverse – Exiles #18 & 19
Exiles #18 was released on the 2nd of October 2002 and sold 40,444 copies, charting at #37 in the North American sales lists. Issue #19 was...
(keep going, the end is almost in sight)
Exiles #17 - Wild Life Reserve
Exiles #17 was released on the 4th of September 2002 and sold 41,437 copies, charting at #38 in the North American...
It's interesting times for Exiles, as I feel that here is where Winnick really started to lose steam (he was of course negotiating with DC comics behind the scenes at this time so his attention would...
Back - because you demanded it!! (well, maybe not, but I hate leaving things unfinished. Bad for the karma)
Nocturne and Evensong - Exiles #16
Exiles #16 was released on the 7th of August 2002...
I am going to miss this book very, very much.
To me it's been the best book of the Krakoa era, with daylight second.
I forgot Mutant X
Comfortably the worst thing ever produced by the X-Office. Those last issues have to be read to be believed.
The entirety of Austen's run, but especially anything he wrote involving women, Northstar, wolves, religion or Abyss.
Murder at the Mansion was a real low point of Morrison's very up-and-down run...
I reckon if it was controversial there mgiht have been the tell-tale sign of a controversy at the time.
So, no.
I'll be picking this up. Be quite keen to read summat that has nothing to do with Krakoa but I'm sure they will squeeze it in somewhere.
I did not like it (in fact it drove me away from the books until Hickman) but I'm very happy that there are some who did. It's nice that there are so many X-Men stories that are someone's favourite!
I Cover The Water-Front – Exiles #14 & 15
Exiles #14 was released on the 5th of June 2002 and sold 41,233 copies, charting at #37 in the North American sales lists. Exiles #15 was released on the...
More like Trial TO READ of Magneto, AMIRITE?
Nah, just kidding. Was pleasantly surprised by this. Always suspected the X-Factor cast could do more when d-list guff like Mojoverses (without...
I enjoyed this. Some good work with Kurt and I even felt a twinge (albeit a very swall twinge) of sympathy for one of the Upstarts. Sheesh.
The two Xorns make for a great visual when they're...
Maybe editorial policy is that the entire Austen run is now considered not-canon? ;)
I'd be happy with that. Would have Abyss as a usable character again as another wee bonus.
Another Rooster in the Henhouse – Exiles #12 & 13
Exiles #12 was released on the April 2002 and sold 41,677 copies, charting at #39 in the North American sales lists. Exiles #13 was released on...
It'll be the Ultron butler robot that we saw hanging around in the background in one scene
*taps nose*
Think I will give this a go. Nice artwork, reasonable intrigue in the plot
I need Mammomax arriving in Krakoa saying he's glad he packed his trunk.
Vincente and Ugly John also need some love.
Al Ewing is just finishing up on Immortal Hulk, which has been a huge success, and also writes Guardians of the Galaxy. He is also re-launching Defenders this week for Marvel.
His Immortal Hulk...
I didn't "hate" on Hickman myself, but as I stated previously, I just gave up and felt he lost me. HoXPoX felt like a shot in the arm and a return to prominence for an X-franchise that had been...
After the initial excitement of Hickman (and I really enjoyed HoXPoX) I have to say the line has - for the most part - completely lost me beyond a couple of satellite titles, so I wont be shedding...
