Not crazy about a chibi Wolverine but this book seems interesting, but with all the cancellations I'm not sure I want to pick it up.

We don't. That being said, all of the other characters are very clear in where they are from. Chibi is from the mojoverse, kamala is from the future, and Iron Lad is from the past/future. I feel if she was from AOA they would've mentioned. Or they could've let it out, who knows.
I believe the writer has confirmed AoA via his Twitter.

Exiles as a concept has always been interesting to me, and I've heard the tales of the original Marvel runs, plus have a soft spot for Blink. Those two alone already piqued my curiosity, but alternate dystopian Old Lady Kamala just sealed the deal. I'm so getting this title when it comes out.

I love how he doesn't even try to explain when Iron Lad comes from because it's too complicated, LOL. If this Iron Lad is supposed to be the young Nate Richards we've met on Young Avengers and who was a hero, I think it makes the most sense if he comes specifically from the time between when he left the team on vol. 1 until his reappearance on The Children's Crusade. Ahmed could easily say that was one of the things he was doing during that time without contradicting anything. Now, if he's post-TCC, that'd be interesting too, because I've always wondered what exactly happened to Nate during that time and what exactly pushed him over the edge, to the point he would become a villain (Kid Immortus). That would challenge the way Ahmed has to write him, though, because he can't be too heroic (at that point, he had killed someone in cold blood for no reason at all). The Young Avengers fanboy in me can't help but overthink all the possibilities.
BTW, Ahmed says we should find out who the mystery member is next week:

they really could have saved that chibi style wolverine. it's a pass, for me.
The X-Babies have been drawn in different styles that can fit in a bit better with traditional art styles. The interesting thing is that this is seemingly the 'bad guy' version, Wolvie. It is something that interior art, and some dialogue, will determine if his inclusion will be a negative for me.
This is gonna make up for the cancellation of she-hulk.
As for the 5th member, I'm gonna say either death's head, or beta ray bill.....
Bout time. Morph should appear at some point and they should visit Nocturne and Thunderbird. Excluding Chuck Austen's horrifying run eXilez was an amazing book.
The 6 issue reboot was terrible though. I hope they i clude a queer character down the line. When DC has so many queer characters front and center and with their own books it feels like Marvel has issues.
I'm really excited about Old Lady Khan!!! Blink has to be in eXiles no matter what and I can't imagine Kamala without a sense of humour.
Iron Lad is a unique choice and I'm very happy it's a writer of colour on the title!
I saw someone on Twitter suggesting the fifth member is MCU!Valkyrie and I'm obsessed with this idea now.
