So, people here have been praising this comic for a long time, and since no one here has really steered me wrong as of yet, I picked up the first two trades a while back. Actually, it was last summer. Stuff happened and I went on deployment, didn't get around to reading them until yesterday when I happened to dig them up and had some time.
Dear God what a great comic. Thank you so fucking much to all of you who recommended this comic. I just got back from the store with Exiles trades 3-8 and I am just giddy with excitement.
So if there's anyone else living under a shed like me, and you haven't yet; go read the dang book.

Funny how that usually works the other way around.
When did he leave it? Hopefully he stuck with it a while, I am enjoying his writing. I also dug his Green Lantern run, so uh... maybe I'm a fan or something.
He did issues #1-25 and 31-37
That was during the whole Nurse Annie thing wasn't it?
I remember thinking that X-Men had turned into a soap opera. More than usual.
Winnick's run on Exiles was sweet. It almost redeems everything horrible he's done. Almost.
Read after that at your own risk.
Well...to be fair (spoiled just in case)
I mean...I know, I know...Claremont is that guy, but I just can't stand the title anymore. It's cool that he's kept Morph on, but putting fan favorites (a.k.a. Claremont-favorites) Psylocke and Kitty on the team? It's a Kat from another dimension, yeah, but...man.
I want to formulate a HALF-way intelligent rant here, but I'm at work. I just HADTA say somethin' though.
Please...PLEASE...someone agree with me here 'cuz I'm getting to the point where I'm making myself believe that "New Exiles" is this cruel monthly visitor (my own male menstruation) that actually exists nowhere but within my own, apparently, masochistic mind.
(I have to add that for all my bitching I still buy it monthly...*shrug* Wuzza-wazza?)

Except in this case it's not actors, so all the cast changes were a purposeful decision for some reason.
You WOULD like this book. The art and the way its written....It instills great Rage in others...
Really? How so?

Maybe my standards are just lowered enough now. But I do like Gambit and Mystique, and Morph is taking more of a leadership role again.
-edit-
Oh, but I forgot to say that the Blink vrs. Hyperion fight, and the way it ended with Gambit and everything was really, really awesome.

2. Morph. I mean cmon. "Its the ^*$($in' Hulk! Everybody run!" Lols abound.
3. Mimic. Interesting that my top three are the the ones with the longest membership. But Mimic is just neat for this type of story. I liked how he kept changing his powers as the series went on.
Least Favorites:
1. Power Princess
2. Spider-Man
3. Longshot
The whole world tour thing sucked. None of these guys were ever appealing to me.
Honorable Mentions:(SPOILERS AGAIN!)
1. Magick-I thought it was neat having the usually subdued and innocent Illyana be such a beez.
2. Namora-I liked her. Spiced things up and she was definitely more likeable than Magick.
3. Sunfire-She showed up so suddenly, and even though she was technically the new girl for a long time she quickly became apart of the gang when she left, I was pretty upset.

Yeah, the alternate team was Weapon-X. The fact that he was such a hate-worthy villain made his death all the more satisfying.
