I'm really not thinking Victor Creed, from the Age of Apocalypse would go from angry, feral freedom fighter to grinning surfer dude at some point. Unless they've had a year off to chill out, I'm not buying that.
Artwork looks pretty good.

How is it that in CC's comics, the male is always doing the subservient chores like cooking? We had Bishop, Miguel O'Hara, Magneto and now Mystic being a fantastic cook. Mark my words, in that caption, they will be complimenting him on his cooking.

Although, that could be fun down the line... Sage is all... "Yo, Mystiq? Get yo shapeshiftin' behind in the kitchen and make me a sammich!"

Ha! Vic certainly does look like He Is The Game, doesn't he?

Because the women are all too busy punching peoples' teeth so far down their throats that they have to clench their asses to chew, that's why.

Are you forgetting in Uncanny X-Men #206. Rachel Summers is cleaning up the kitchen with Lindsey McCabe using her telekinesis to put away the dishes? Or how about the whole team cleaning up the dirty dishes in Uncanny X-Men #231 since the Outback town lacks running water?
All of these are just quiet moments to show the team is family.

Some of the world's most reknown chefs are men. I also don't see how cooking is a "subservient" chore. Some guys just like to cook, it's fun. Of course there's always weird sexual undertones in Claremont's books, but he's been doing that for years.

Blink, Nocturne and T-Bird's reason for leaving under Claremont: They wanted to tan more. To the sun planet they go!

I'd rather spend my days tanning then having CC control my every move and word. Good move Original Exiles.

Are you mayhaps suggesting that HHH's is not... natural? That he created his absurdly-jacked physique through the use of a syringe? Heresy! :p

Soon he'll be doing the Rock's eyebrow...
One thing I will say in favour of that Land cover, though, is that whoever he traced makes Psylocke & Sage look very sexy.

I totally agree with you. I'm tired of the men doing all of the cooking and the subservient chores in CC's books. That stuff needs to be done by the women. Remember, there are only two places a woman belongs, the kitchen and the bedroom.:)

Really. And why is that?
Are you trying to say that it's okay for them to have nekkid hijinks on a beach in a random reality---but they can't do the same thing now at the crystal palace and have down time, some members can't cook for the others if they so enjoy?

I don't like the Crystal Palace anymore, because it's just too "living Danger Room" nowadays. Bringing in pizza, grills, food, beaches, blahblahblah.
It's like a glowing pink holodeck. And also, isn't the Crystal Palace supposed to NOT have an exterior vantage point? You can't see the palace as a spire from afar, as it's "Nowhere" and "Nowhen." It just has weird portals into an expansive desert and an expansive ocean, but there's no exterior to it.
A little tic that bugs me, and I hope CC does away with the thing for New Exiles.

Exactly.. im the cook in my household and I work a 8-10 hour day. Some guys need their fantasy barefoot wives though..
im happy Psylocke doesnt look as asian in this. :D :D :D I just want her out of the suit now.

Exactly. There isn't supposed to be an "outside" of the palace. The first thing CC did was rectify that for whatever reason.

Agreed. It's a big part of the whole "they're in control of their own destiny" thing thats been plaguing the series since Bedard revealed it and the bugs.

Your not the only person looking forward to the "New Exiles". I mean don't get me wrong CC does have his problems with the book in general its not that bad. :)

I think the book peaked from about 1 until just before Winnick's last arc. It stayed pretty consistent until World Tour, where it nosedived quickly. CC has been less than dreadful, but far from the early greatness the book achieved.

I hear that Winick's Exiles is probably the best mainstream superhero work he's ever done, but no, I've never read any of it. I am going to get my chance to now, since Exiles #1 is being reprinted in Exiles #100. The thing that turns me off of Winick the most is his ham-fisted use of one-liners. As long as he didn't do that in his Exiles work, I'll probably enjoy it. We shall see.

It's B-list cast and status kept it largely under the radar, but this book played a huge part in ramping me back up into comics full scale in college. The characterization is what really sets it apart from everything else. The premise, as cool as it was, was just a vehicle to put these characters through the ringer and watch how they react. Very easy to relate to and realistic.
Heh, not sure if you also read CC's New Excalibur, but if you read the first 3 or 4 trades of Exiles you will see why fans of old Exiles detest CC's portrayal of Nocturne. That old argument aside, early Exiles is really great. The book really jumped the shark after the Crystal Palace and bugs reveal. The reveal itself worked because you didn;t know where it would go at that point. Now, we know where it went: nowhere.

He's a good character guy, when he wants to be. I've always been intrigued by the premise of the book, and it lends itself to an inifinite number of stories to be told. It's one of the few story-telling premises in mainstream comics that anything and everything can happen in, since there's not a set in stone continuity to deal with. I've just always been tepid about picking the book up before CC took over, as I've hated all of Winick's DC work. His Nightwing in Outsiders didn't seem like the same guy who was appearing in the solo title.

I haven't read his New Excalibur yet. I have almost a full run of the original Excalibur series, and Captain Britain is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Bad reviews kept me from checking out the New series, but I did pick up #24 so I could get up to speed for Die By the Sword. I was satisfied enough to pick up the rest of the run from eBay. It should be here in about a week.
How was Tony Bedard's stint on Exiles? I've liked what little DC work he's done so far.

Some good, some bad. Overall not as good as the original run from Winnick. My biggest problem overall is that he made the series a little less, immediately dramatic. In revealing the crystal palace and the bugs and having the Exiles take over, it took away a large part of the "I don't know whats gonna happen next" vibe. Doesn't look like Claremont is going to rectify that, but hopefully there will still definately be threats that can kill these guys.

Really, though, someone had to explain the Timebroker sometime. He was just too much of a mysterious force that even the Exiles wanted to understand.
Maybe it would've been better saved for when Exiles was ending or something, but I enjoyed the story at least.

The Timebroker had to be explained, but the explanation we got wasn't very good. That really wasn't the problem though. The problem was that post-insect reveal the Exiles were in control of their own destiny. If they had revealed the Timebroker as (an) Immortus/Merlyn (-type) character, working for the greater good, but little care as to the faith of his individual pawns, it would have retained some edge to the Exiles' situation.

As much as I enjoyed the book under Bedard's pen (Austen's issues were... Austen's issues), I have to agree here.

I wasn't impressed with Bedard's run at all. I felt that his explanation for the timebroker situation was incredibly anticlimactic, and the series faltered from that moment onwards. World Tour could have worked really well, but I felt it was a wasted opportunity, another letdown.
Bedard's post world tour issues, and Claremont's run, seem to have just continued along as 'more of the same', but without the edge that the pre-revelation issues had. Once the Exiles were in control, that element of suspense was gone, and it was just more visits to more alternate realities. I think the book needs a new hook, and I'm hoping Claremont's new approach will provide that.
As for the preview, Grummett's art is beautiful as always. No real reservations about the story, so I'll reserve judgement until I've read it.
