Exiles #89

Exiles #89
GOOD. For a one-shot fill-in issue, which is basically what Bedard's run has been since Claremont fell ill. Personally, I prefer him. He started this title, and he deserves to stay on it as long as possible. In this issue, the Exiles hop to twenty worlds in three weeks (we don't see them all), Blink gets incapacitated by the Sinister Six, Miggy gets clobbered by the Serpent Society, Sabretooth fights an alternate reality son (Graydon Creed), and Emma Frost almost undoes Morph's behavior modification. Also, apparently someone must have pointed out to Bedard that way back when he may have goofed, by having Proteus lay claim to a "metal" crown. So a quick expository scene explains that Proteus may have overcome his weakness to metal. And in Thunderbird's dreamstate within the walls of the crystal palace, he manufactures a happy ending for himself where he's married to TJ and having a baby...one from which it's foreshadowed that he may soon be released to find that TJ is now with New Excalibur (perhaps Bedard is actually setting up a Claremont storyline? One can only hope.) - poor T-Bird. Like I said, pretty GOOD. I'll continue subscribing to this title as long as Miggy remains, but I worry about what may happen once Claremont returns.
