So they are in 2099 right now. And Proteus is in the body of Click Here For A Spoiler2099 HULK...scary
It was a very good issue. Not that i never trusted Bedard but it seems he's getting better and better.
I do worry what happens next. He's changed the Exiles status quo. World Tour stuff is cool! But then? Do they get to pick what worlds to save from the Crystal Palace? I hope so. I liked the basic just go to one world and try to fix the timeline original premise.
Also if Click Here For A SpoilerSpider-Man 2099 joins which appears he is...I always find it odd to have TWO agility guys on the same team. The other being Longshot.
I do love this title. I love all the alternate world stuff.

For some reason, this made me think of Neo (or "the One") of "The Matrix" -- always fighting the same battle over and over and always destined to fail. Come to think of it, Mojo makes as much sense as the "Architect"...

I was all but ready to drop this (they've killed off all the characters I cared about), when who appears but a version of the heroine, lamely butchered in 'our' reality, Darkstar. Along with Northstar, Aurora and the rest of an Alpha Flight. Or against, I should say, since she's actually fighting the Canadian superteam alongside her own Russian one. Good or bad, I'm just glad to see her. Most of her, anyway, since she's been saddled with a truly hideous mask thing. Although I can't really call it a mask, since it covers her mouth and nose and not her eyes.
If *she* joins the Exiles, I'd definitely keep reading.

Darkstar would make a good Exile. Mystery Lad I have a dream of the characters that got dealt a bad hand by the proper MU get a chance to join the Exiles. Magik(again) for instance to name another russian blonde.
Looks like the status quo is back. I did request it. But maybe not like this. But maybe the aliens are right. The Exiles did need some structure. Oh wait though...is there going to be a new team???

It didn't suck at ALL. It was usually pretty cool. I kinda wish I'd finished it out.
Of course, it's a pretty winning scenario as it is-- kinda a WHAT IF with recurring (yet everchanging) characters.
I dunno what happened to the EXILES after issue 88, but I bought the new EXILES # 1 this week, mainly because it featured 3 of my favorite femme-muties: Polaris, Scarlet Witch and Blink.
