The New NEW Exiles??

[TheCorpulent1]

I still don't have the first issue. My shop sometimes gets comics a week late for some reason, and this was unfortunately one of the ones they got late this week.

I liked the first issue. If the next two are as good as the first then i'll stick around even after the obligatory 3 issue test.

 

[spiderfan970]

I liked the first issue way more than I thought I would. I've always liked the idea of the exiles but never really got into it. This book was good at explaining the "rules" of the Exiles book and establishing the characters. Plus this book looks like a lot of fun!

 

[Harlekin]

To my surprise, I also kind of liked the first issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You all doubted the greatness that is Jeff Parker.

 

[spiderfan970]

Oh no, I definitely knew the story would be good. I have like every X-Men: First Class issue of the second volume. No I just mean I wasn't sure if I was going to like the different takes of the characters or the art but neither of them bother me and I actually like both. The only one I don't really care for is Forge.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Forge seems to be the new Mimic of this team. I think he's going to grow on me.

Yeah I could see that, Parker is a good writer so I'll probably end up liking all the characters. I'm really looking forward to the next issue.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

It was an interestin' start, although I hope they cover what happened to Claremont's Exiles. Unless the Timebroker's organizin' a secondary team like with Weapon X.

I'm still not convinced though. I think the concept needs a rest.

Congrats by the way on the 100,000.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thanks.

The concept's had a rest, as far as I'm concerned, since I didn't read any of the Claremont stuff. It's been about a year since I read any Exiles.

 

[spiderfan970]

I'm still not convinced though. I think the concept needs a rest.

I'm just getting into Exiles though, so the concept is new to me. I really wanted to get into Claremont's Exiles but whenever I'd flip through a book (even with Spidey 99 in it) I just couldn't justify the purchase (Also I heard that he wrote Miguel as Peter which is completely wrong). So I finally thought I'd try it out with the new series and I enjoyed it.

 

[El Bastardo]

Even considering Claremont's Exiles issues, though, the concept has had a rest.

The true Exiles concept, as started by Judd (I can't believe I'm saying this) Winick and picked up briefly by Chuck (Oh my god, here I go again) Austen, was a lot of high stakes and tough decisions. Tony Bedard ruined that with some of the stalest and crappiest stories possible. I'm not even sullied by the ruination of Morph and the death of Mimic that he did since, hey, if they'd been done right and well, they could have been good stories. Although, really, there was no saving what went down with Morph, and that in and of itself is evidence of just how far Bedard ran the title into the ground.

Actually, before Claremont decided to continue being the hack writer he's become lately, his first few issues after Bedard left were a collective breath of fresh air and showed some hope. Or I was being an idealist and thinking that, put on some new project, Claremont could produce something not gag-inspiring.

I'm still not convinced though. I think the concept needs a rest.

I used to get every one of the issues, I started around issue 9 and found the old ones later. I stopped when they found the Exiles world, I think.
Around that time the it didn't seem like a comic I absolutely had to buy.
But it seems like its getting the fun and urgentness back.

Things we do know about Exile's Panther:

Spoiler

He is young.
Not a mutant.
Experienced in fighting.
Doesn't sound like T'Challa.
Is humorous.
has Spider-Man's build.

And I think he still represents Wakanda and uses robotics, possibly desigtned by him.

Anything else? Or anything i got wrong?

I like the first issue. Morph/Timbroker was a great scene.
It looks like they are fixing it.

I think that about sums it up we'll see where it goes. I wonder if Blink is a new one or not they've hinted she's the same blink but she's acting like this is all new.

 

[moraldeficiency]

Is it sad that those preview pages are some of the best black panther I've seen since SI? (yes, yes it is) A robot lion that banters? That's it, I was on the fence about this series but now I'm gonna start picking it up. And if that panther is hobie brown I'll start buying two of every issue.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh snap, that would be awesome. The Panthrowler.

 

[moraldeficiency]

Art's clues just seemed to point in that general direction. Or maybe it's just me wanting to see some more hobie brown in comics.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think it might be Nezhno, since this is technically an X-comic.

 

[moraldeficiency]

who be that?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nezhno

He has a strong connection to Storm and the Black Panther in the 616 universe. Parker could be playing off that, only Nezhno's not quiet and reserved in the reality the Panther comes from.

 

[CaptainCanada]

He's a mutant, though, which Panther isn't.

 

[moraldeficiency]

damnit, parker, they don't all have to be freaking mutants! I'll still pick it up though, that little preview was pretty good.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's a mutant, though, which Panther isn't.

Oh, I didn't know he wasn't. Well, more fuel to the Hobie fire, then.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

I liked Bedard's issues. I thought everything until Claremont took over was great fun. It was when Claremont came on the stories got stale and flat. Hell, he did THREE Fantastic Four stories in a row.
