I am digging EXILES

Post by RandomThug »

Anyone else read this book? It's just taking the whole idea of alternative dimensions and flying with it. Taking random versions of favorite characters from different dimensions (A murderous spiderman, a female Sasquatch, a evil power girl, a twisted and killer proffesor X, the son of Magneto and Rouge...)

Puts a few together and makes them travel to other different dimensions to fix what ever went wrong...

Kinda like a Quantem leap in the marvel universe. Anyone else read this?

I think you mean Sliders, not Quantum Leap (unless there's an evil Scott Bakula leaping into people's bodies and causing mayhem). :o In any event, no I haven't read it.
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

In my opinion, it's the best X-related comic book currently running. Of course, there's a lot of potential in alternative dimensions, though the concept itself could grow stale after a while - from that point of view it's nice they've got underused characters like Mimic, Morph and Blink as a part of the team, giving especially Mimic and Morph more personality than they had in almost 4 decades in the "normal" X-Universe.
