## Publication history

[edit]

### Exiles volume 1

[edit]

Exiles was created by Mike Marts, Mike Raicht, Judd Winick and also artists Mike McKone and Jim Calafiore. Exiles was created after a period of development aimed at creating a new What If? book for Marvel. In an interview Raicht speaks of the Exiles' early origins: "We were eventually going to visit some alternate realities and flesh out some stories. We were attempting to give the readers a What If? X-Men book. Eventually that idea shifted into a Quantum Leap type thing where Blink, Morph, and maybe Sabretooth from the Age of Apocalypse would join some other heroes, most likely from the Millennial Visions books, to form a reality-hopping super team that righted wrongs."[2]

Raicht and Winick would develop the initial formula of Exiles' reality-hopping adventures. Chuck Austen came aboard as interim writer after Winick's move to DC Comics. Tony Bedard took over, writing roughly half the series, from #46-89. Chris Claremont came onboard as of issue #90 and ended the series with the crossover X-Men: Die by the Sword.

A number of artists have penciled the series including Mike McKone, Jim Calafiore, Kev Walker, Clayton Henry, Mizuki Sakakibara, Casey Jones, Steve Scott, Paul Pelletier, and Tom Mandrake.

Cyriaque Lamar of io9 described the storyline involving King Hyperion's dead planet to be one of "The 10 Most Depressing Alternate Realities From Marvel Comics".[3]

### New Exiles

[edit]

Chris Claremont restarted the series in March 2008 as New Exiles, after the crossover X-Men Die by the Sword. New Exiles #1 sold out prompting Marvel to release New Exiles #0 which collected Exiles #100 and Exiles: Days of Then and Now.[4] New Exiles ran for 18 issues before being canceled.

Tom Grummett, Roberto Castro, Paco Diaz, and Tim Seeley worked on as artists on New Exiles.

### Exiles volume 2

[edit]

A few months after New Exiles was cancelled, the series was restarted again with a second volume of Exiles. Writer Jeff Parker and artist Salvador Espin relaunched the series with a new #1 in April 2009,[5] but the book was canceled after only six issues.[6]

### Exiles volume 3

[edit]

A third series was launched as part of Marvel Legacy, written by Saladin Ahmed joined by the art team of Javier Rodriguez, Alvaro Lopez, and Jordie Bellaire and Joe Caramagna.[7] The man once known as Nick Fury recruits champions from alternate universes when a mysterious threat casts its shadow on the multiverse. A different Blink will be joined by a Kamala Khan from a post-apocalyptic reality, Iron Lad, Wolvie and Valkyrie in her journey to save the multiverse.[8] The team is later joined by Peggy Carter as the Captain America of her universe, and a reality-reincarnated female version of Bucky Barnes.[9][10][11]
