I just finished reading up to issue 24 of Marvel's Exiles, the first one. I have to say, it was a fun read. Winnick's strength is in his characterization, not his plots. And the best part is, you barely need to know Marvel History, as this fills you in as you. The plot is pretty simple, Six people are displaced by time and they pop up all over the multiverse fixing things that are wrong, then pop to the next problem. The Time Broker is the Deus Ex Machina that pops up to send them on their mission. Characters die, characters fix their timeline's problem and then pop out of the comic, to be replaced by new characters. Its, as you can tell, X Men centric, but they have fought Galactus, an evil Iron Man, Dr Doom, Sub Mariner, evil Xaviers, Sentinals, and even a good Sabretooth. It's a good light read. Anyone else give it try?
