I'd love to see the Exiles and Excalibur have some kind of contact,
since I loved that book. I know early on Excalibur went on a train ride
to many other realities. Maybe that train team and the Exiles could
arrive on the same world, with contrary missions. But I don't think the
Timebroker is Merlin or from otherworld. Merlin was a 'governor' of
time, while the Timebroker's powers seem more godlike. However, using
Exiles to change time does suggest there are other beings watching him,
preventing him from acting openly, so in typical cold-war fashion, he
uses a third party.
I'd love to see the Exiles get more attention from Marvel, such as Ltd.
additions and specials. It's a great series with unique characters. It
appeals to new readers, but also really hits older readers who remember
the classic stories they visit, or fell in love with AOA's Blink and
Morph. If you love Rouge or Wolverine or such, they turn up in other
books, specials and crossovers. If you love Mimic, Exiles is all you
get.
It's also waaaay past time from them to do something with Beak.
{preferably involving some type of gruesome death
} Most people
don't like him, and he's got no real power, but I can live with that.
Everyone doesn't have to be powerhouse. They could have Morph's
grandmother with them, and it would still work if she was a good part
of a story. Beak is pointless. Namara too for that matter. Nocture at
least was more than just eye-candy. How do those clam-shells stay on,
anyway?
They really need to shake up the book. It's lost that
'anything-could-happen' feel it once had. It's also much more
youth-friendly then in used to be. Early issues had death, love,
murders, romance, and sexual tensionŠ Sunfire was gay, Morph was horny,
Nocture may have gotten an abortion. Now it's just the problem of the
week, with very little character growth.
It's still a great book, I'd just like to see them do more with this
great concept. I'm also scared it will get the axe if they don't pull
in more readers.
