I may have to start getting this title again. I lost interest and dropped it after the Hyperion story but if Povikins is excited about the new creative team I probably ought to give it another chance.

EXILES is still good to me, and I am interested in just what is going to happen now that they've gone to confront the Timebroker.
Beak being non-powered never bothered me as a member of Exiles, but you have to remember that when I was a kid, non-powered characters WERE sometimes members of super-teams, like Mal Duncan over in Teen Titans. I kinda find stuff like that cool.
Pelletier, eh? That's pretty groovy although I really like the 2 current rotating artists.

One of the casualties of my recent title purge. To me Exiles has been going steadily downhill and I'm tired of the two books every month shipping. Marvel can't get half their titles out once every three months but we get five issues in three months for Exiles?

I forgot toout about # 64-- page 1 (2 if you count the PREVIOUSLY page) made me bust out laughing! The only comic I've read today (and I've read several) that made me do that!
Of course, I still have GLA and I Can't Believe It's Not the JLA to read... and the wacky-looking Ultimate Defenders on the cover of ULTIMATES 2 # 6 look promising...
Looks like Beak'll be heading back 'home' fairly soon, Star Boy. I kind of like the character, but he does take up space in a valuable 'superteam' slot. Maybe he can be like a mutant Rick Jones sidekick sort of guy.
Unless Namora has some regenerative powers, looks like she'll no longer be appearing in EXILES. Now if they'd get rid of Sabretooth, I'd be happier.
I was prepared to drop this title, but the last couple of issues have convinced me to stick around. New from the convention of where the EXILES will be visiting make me want to hang around, as well.

So I had the first three trades for a while. I decided to get the next eight trades! At once! I've been reading Exiles straight now since early October.
Wow. The Austen issues certainly were the weakest. Especially that story where Magik killed the Avengers. The arc he did after that weren't so bad. Bedard was better but not as good as Winik though he has grown on me. (I loved his CG stuff!)
Star Boy, Beak is the Exiles Bouncing Boy. Anyone can be a hero!
I love the artists. McKone, Calafiore, Travis Henry(!!!). Sakakibara I didn't love but he was all right.
The only thing that worries me is the formula may be gone forever. I hope to see them in a "typical" story again where they arrive on a new world and must save it, etc.

Well, I just got the latest trade, with the Timebreakers and Destroy All Monsters arcs... And they were... okay? Not sure what I think about it all. I like Mimic, so it was good to see some cool character stuff from him, and the loss of Namora was a total shock! All in all it was good but not excellent. Maybe I need to read it again.

Namora was kind of evil...but was hot!!! I kinda liked her better than TJ.
I have to agree overall it was good not excellent. Winick/McKone were excellent. As I said above I am worred all this recent stuff has broken the formula.
The upcoming stuff looks excting. New Universe, 2099, Squadron Supreme, etc.
Real quick idea about Exiles. Maybe have some of the Marvel 616 time lost heroes all join. Cable, Rachel Summers (Phoenix), Bishop, etc. Time lost heroes in the proper MU i think complicates things. This is a title I LOVE because of the setting. Sometimes the stories are average but the setting is so cool I love it. I can lose Sabertooth and add some more heroes! The crystal is a big place.

Alan buys this from time to time but not regularly so I'm never really sure whats happening - I'd love to see Cyclops and Havoks mother turn up - we've met their dad so why not? Maybe they get their mutant gene from her?

Good idea! Ever since Adam X an obscure X character that is rumored to be her son with Lilandra's brother D'Ken (i think)I have been interested in her. Anyways he was a cool human/shiar/mutant back in the 90s.

No Pelletier for this arc, apparently, but Jim C does a decent job this issue. And the story even picks UP a beat. Bedard is really finding the right voice for his characters, especially Proteus. And wait until you see P's new host...!

Longshot's been added, and (according to Mojo, anyway) there's only ONE Longshot... this is him.

Yes, and I don't know for certain... but there's only one Mojo across the whole continuum. Maybe it's the same with Longshot?
Heather made a trade with Mojo-- TV access across the timebreakers' nexus to other realities for Longshot. The catch is, he's not the Longshot we're familiar with; Mojo wiped his mind again after his most recent failed rebellion.
Still good to see him, though. And he had the best line this issue, I thought--
