Exiles Ultimate Collection - Book 1

At first glance, Exiles seems like a silly way to tie in the old "What If?" series' in a fast-paced, action-packed format with a small cast to guide us from one messed up alternate universe to the next. At its core, though, Exiles is a moving human drama. The Exiles, so named because they are a band of misplaced versions of X-Men characters we know and love (Morph, Blink, Warpath, Sunfire, Mimic, and Magnus, to name a few), are "stuck together" in a journey they don't control to fix the time streams in many different alternate realities. In one reality, Professor X is evil, driven to madness by the mutant-hating humans who rose to power. In another, Tony Stark is President of the United States. In a third, the Exiles must kill Jean Grey, possessed by the Dark Phoenix. The dilemmas they face are difficult, but they face them together, which cause them to grow close to one another. Some are lost along the way, adding tension for the reader -- no one is safe from being "killed off" in this series! If you like alternate dimensions, if you enjoy strong character development, and if you love the comedic and dramatic aspects the X-Men mythology has delivered over the past forty years, then this is for you.
