Exiles has recently become one of my favorite comic books, and this collection is a good one. In it, one major character finds their job complete and they get to go home. This opens the door for another character to join (a familiar face from another comic) and the dynamic of the team changes drastically. They face a world taken over by the Legacy Virus where Warlock from the New Mutants and Doug Ramsey combine into one being...and then evolve! The other heroes from this world are taken over (ala the Borg from Star Trek) and it's up to the Exiles to stop them.

Of the released sets so far, this one ranks well. It's not the best of the series, but anytime they lose a member it's hard. This time is no exception. Recommended.

I have read the whole series and this is another must read. I don't want to give away story plot, I hate knowing that but . . . Start at the begining of the series first, the writing for this series is very smart and well organized. And the characters and worlds get well developed as you keep reading further in the series.

It's the grwon up version of "What If"

Ok, as my title suggested, I wasn't too fond of the actual Legacy story as I didn't really like that story in the mainstream X-men story anyway. The gem has to be the second story involving the Weapon X exiles who have to help villanous Tony Stark(who in the universe is the president of earth)defeat the Inhumans along with Sue Storm A.k.a. Invisible Woman.

The story is very dark and edgy and matches perfectly with the artwork which is not the traditional cartoonish art. Stories like this precisely makes Exiles one of the best X-titles. Period.

I won't spoil anything for those who have not read this, but this is a great TPB. I liked everything. thsi si what the Exiles should be about.
