So, Claremonts gonna write the 100th issue? Wonder what he'll do with that?

[Rev. F. David Swallow II]

44 issues is pretty good, i just kinda hoped he'd make it halfway to 45...:rolleyes:

That would be a nice milestone, and he's so close too! Oh well, least he's giving (and has given) us some killer stories, like the current story with all the wolverines. It's sheer brilliance! cool: :D

Did the Wolvie story come out yet? I haven't been in a comics store in a while.

It comes out on the 23rd, but there have been preview pages posted. :)

I don't really like the inclusion of a Marvel Zombies Wolverine though. The bugs arn't really that stupid are they? Wouldn't he have the potential of damaging further realities by spreading the Zombie plague wherever he goes? It just doesn't make a lot of sense. And young James Howlett seems more like a liability than an asset.

[Tony Bedard]

There's a certain logic to why these guys were picked (or at least a certain logic to the lack of logic). It's covered a little later in the tale. But mostly this story is going to be goofy fun. It's my favorite thing I've done in a while.

Ok, thanks for the assurance that there is a reason these ones were picked. I really have no problem with any of them, other than the Zombie one. Though I hope Elisa Dee doesn't talk much more... there's only so much cute little kid lisp you can take before it's like razors on flesh. It's like Full House. ;)

But aye, it looks like it will be very fun. I liked World Tour, but this allows you to be more whacky and creative. And that's what I liked about Exiles, the new and weird alternate realities and takes on characters. :D

[Scavenger]

heh..those 6 pages are just funny.

[frogoat]

I can't wait to get these issue so I can read them!

[drwho]

Totally awesome. whose idea was it to include alberts and elsie dee?

It was the idea of a genius of course!:D

[fesak]

It was the idea of a genius of course!:D

So, i noticed that one of the Wolverines comes from the same reality as Weapon X Daredevil (181)
Coincidence or not?

Also here's a link to Marvel alternate realities which may or may not be interresting.

[Tony Bedard]

Coincidence! I'm losing track of all these dang realities! I'm only human, fer Pete's sake!

Mike Marts suggested Elsie-Dee and Albert. I hadn't even known about them previous to writing the story. Of course, they almost took over the tale! This story and its follow-up are gonna be goofy fun in the old-school anything-goes EXILES style!

[Oliverhannah]

Tony Bedard already said his final issue was going to be #89.

Cool.. Zombie Wolverine is from Ultimate Universe, is it?

Tony, Did Jim finish draw cover of #89? :D Can you show us preview!! please!! We have seen #90!! (Blink and Betsy)

Lemme know!! Thank!

Yes, the lack of logical-logic was funny!:p And I really loved how you gave every 'wolverine' their moment. Oh, and Elsie-dee's 'Holy Kwap' and the comments about James' er 'nightshirt'? Priceless! Wonderful job!:D

Not exactly. The Zombie Universe was one Reed found from the Ultimate Universe. However this Wolverine cannot be the Wolvie from said Zombie Universe, due to the story. So it's simply another universe where a similar event took place. Especially since this Wolverine doesn't match the events of the Zombie Universe.

As for seeing #90, you only saw a preview of that because it was originally #84.

I haven't read the Marvel Zombie mini, but is it possible that the Zombie wolvie was jsut taken outta time before the events (or sometime between them) and then returned? (I'm just desperate for something close to a Ultimate crossover, so if it it fits at a stretch, I'll take it:p )

[Tony Bedard]

As of now, EXILES #89 is my last regular issue. I'll be doing one more Exiles story which will be announced soon, but it's not in the regular series.

And don't get too bogged down if Zombie-rine is from the official Ultimate continuity. Just enjoy the fun.

[Beast]

Exiles Annual maybe? They have been re-introducing Annuals in many series as of late.

Oh, wouldn't that be sweet?!:D And come to think of it, didn't Tony mention something like this a while back, or am mistaken?

[Beast]

Yeah, he mentioned it back on his other board as well. I like the return of Annuals, if that's what this is going to be. The Ultimate Marvel ones have been consistantly good, as has the Uncanny X-Men one.

I'll be especially happy if we get more annuals for the non-ultimate titles! More annuals means more special stories!:)

If you could do an Exiles Annual story, what would it be?

[Beast]

If you could do an Exiles Annual story, what would it be?
That is definatly a toughie. Probably reveal the origins of the Crystal Palace, since it's still a mystery. Though that is probably something that Claremont will be doing in his Exiles run. I know you wanted to deal with the Captain Britain Corps., but again that is probably something that CC is going to do with his run.

Ok, I got it. The Mutant X Universe. :D

A story set before Exiles #1. I think that Exiles/Weapon X weren't the first teams that the Timebreakers assembled.:)

[Red Jack]

I like to see the Exiles meet up with the Avengers from this story

Sceptre. Horus. Captain Assyria. Nova. Iron Man.

The most interesting and least seen alternate universe in marvel history.

[frogoat]

Like Beast said, the origin of the Panoptichron........or even just the Time-breaker Bugs, since you created them I think it's only fair you give them an origin. Maybe some huge event that made them 'break' the multiverse so much?:)

[Tony Bedard]

There's the rub: I want to leave a lot of this stuff for Claremont to have fun with. So the origin of the Crystal Palace wouldn't really work. And I actually thought of doing something with the Mutant X team, but it seemed a little limited in appeal (yeah, this from the man who revisited the New Universe). But i think I have something cool in mind. Y'know, that is IF I was doing an Exiles Annual...

Mutant X, limited in Appeal? Frankly I think it would have been more interesting than some of the Alternate Realities you did pick for the World Tour. Not that I'm complaining, of course. Not to mention that Bloodstorm, The Fallen, and The Brute are really popular alternate reality characters. :)

I see your point. And of course, this is all just hypothetical, right?;)
