Strap in folks we're back and I'm mad.

Spoilers exist but I'm not spoiler-shading for a series two decades old.

I said last time (in vol 3) I was pretty sure we were reaching my stopping point in the series. I was right! I stopped at issue 22. Why? Because Blink leaves. Sorry she is "sent home" and as much as I like Magyk and Nocturne, I was in the series for Blink.

So I stopped. Yet the series has 12 and half more volumes, which I own, so I will continue it.

Unless every arc is like the second reality arc of this volume in which Tony Stark is the tyrant he was aways accused of being. I did not enjoy that arc. And if I had picked up issue 23 way back when and saw the series decided to u-turn away from the Exiles... I woulda screamed murder.

Please god let this get better. And like...is the whole point of the Exiles to basically visit every awful reality? Cause I can see why Mimic is like "fuck this shit". ( )

As before the Exiles are intriguing, but Weapon X may even interest me more, even if they're shown less. The Tony Stark ending tale held the most promise but was a little disappointing, although the ending of it rocked in a haunting note. Humor is again rich with Morph, romance of a dark sort exists amongst some characters, and there's a loss already (depressing). Curious how they will exist without that person in the graphic novels to come. ( )

I love everything Marvel. The storylines are incredible! They have everything you could want: action, adventure, comedy, romance, political intrigue, allegories, metaphors, etc. Some stories drag, some end too soon. ( )
