I was underwhelmed by Bedard's first three issues. I've dropped the
book from my pull list. Negation buys him some wiggle room though, so
I'll check out whatever books he works on next.

I hope Bedard does kill Beak (It's not gonna happen, thought). Damn, Beak
replaced Nocturne, I loved the series since day one, I got every issue
(Including that X-men Unlimited cameo) and I'm still not so thrilled with
Bedard's work so far, but I'll give him one more storyarc before I pass final
judgement.

It's funny, but the Austens run on Exiles was his only work that I think was
really good.

If he does, I might come back to the book. Besides, I'm still a little
annoyed that TJ was dropped off in the MU for no apparent reason.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Well there *was* a reason....it might not be a good one. We'll see ....<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I'm yet to be convinced there was a reason. The scene looks like
a dangler with the other end completely unplanned - no clue as to
who the mysterious other character is that she wanders off with,
except that I think the sight-lines rule out their being, say, under
four feet tall; so if she's joining Alpha Flight, she wasn't recruited
by Puck.

So, have we been promised yet that she actually will appear
again, anywhere?

Yep, she's been mentioned in upcoming solicitations. I won't say for
which book, cause then it would kind of be a spoiler.

I didn't want to come right out and say it....but it sounds like it was
editorial rather than Bedard.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Thank you very much; I'll look out for that.
Hmm. I wonder from time to time if I miss out by not reading
publishers' solicitations, only the NCRL titles list and online
reviews. Here, it turns out I'm under-informed.

If X-editorial have decided against letting danglers dangle for
years any more, then good for them. And if the story doesn't stink,
it'll be good to see TJ again. There can never be too many sexy
blue mutants around in comics. In fact, there are often too few.
Luckily, EXILES readers won't be going without just yet, either, with
Namora around.

I think she became too popular for EXILES.

Yep. Solicitations place her in upcoming issues of Uncanny X-Men.

Yes, but I find it highly unsatisfying. TJ staying in the MU doesn't
even make sense in terms of how the Exiles operate. If she completed
her work, she should have been sent home. The only possibility I can
think of is that she has a side mission of which she is unaware, but I
find that unlikely.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I still don't believe that the Time Broker has ever told them
/truthfully/ what's going on.

In fact, I'm still betting the whole thing is just a TV show for
Mojoworld. I am aware they have /been/ to Mojoworld; I pointed
out before that the Hercules TV show more than once visited the
1990s TV station where they film the Hercules TV show.

And, I mean, The Incredible Hulk TV show had David Banner
looking most weeks for a cure that he was never going to get,
because then the show would end. TJ - she's probably trying out
for a spinoff show, don't you think?
