[crinos]

So in the span of the month, we get President Kamala, and Old Lady Kamala.

Its like in Rumble Roses where every character has a face and heel persona

[cyberghostface]

Which Blink is this?

[malitia]

Seems to have experience with the Tallus so I think the AoA one... but the issue starts with her having lunch with her new found auntie on Earth-616 so I guess she is getting in touch with the family of the main universe one (I kinda want to know how that went).

[cyberghostface]

If it's not a new Blink I wonder if they have an explanation for the ethnicity change.

[malitia]

I think the writer's twitter mentioned that they were trying to make her look more like what her canonical ethnicity (Bahamian) would imply. I've no clue how much they succeeded or failed.

[long_silence]

She got a new hairstyle, otherwise she looks exactly the same. Pink skin, purple hair, green clothes.

We never saw her immediate family before, just distant ancestors.

[cyberghostface]

This artist at least is giving her distinctly African features when her great grandmothers in 616 at least on both sides were white.

[scorntx]

Blink's leather jacket is still unnecessary.

Also, not wild about Grizzled Future Kamala.
(Now, if it was Kamala who happened to be elderly but not grizzled, that'd be different.)

[q99]

I dislike that there's a 'versus mutants' thing in her timeline, but I don't mind grizzled freedom-fighter Khan.

[zachbeacon]

Well this looks like a huge disappointment. The old Exiles had it's highs and lows but I still consider myself a fan. I was really looking forward to this.

Why do they think it's a good idea to create dark future versions of bright optimistic characters like Ms Marvel and Princess Powerful. Remember when that gritty Power Park relaunch was a running joke among fandom and not a thing that could plausibly happen?

[icon_uk]

Is Chibi Wolverine not a good enough balance? (Genuine question, not being sarcastic)

[zachbeacon]

I'm not sure yet. He seems to be modeled off the Bullpen Bits / Mini Marvels world so at this point I'm mostly just hoping HE is funny rather than being the butt of the joke.

[thezmage]

He’s apparently from one of the Mojoworlds. If he’d been Minimarvels Wolverine I’d be buying this.

[zachbeacon]

Strange that they wouldn't just go with X-Baby Wolverine if they're going the Mojoverse route.

Also bringing up Mojo in an Exiles comic just makes me wonder what Morph is up to.

[kore]

This is on my pull list in spite of Chibi Wolverine. I am totally here for Old Woman Kamala.

[arilou_skiff]

It's Exiles. The cast getting rotated in and out is kind of part of the thing. (though I am kind of missing a Mimic equivalent, a character from a Better Universe)

[berani00]

I'm calling it now: Old Lady Kamala or Iron Lad gets bumped off by the second issue, because we all know what happened to Magnus.

[locuatico]

Iron Lad. Kamala has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of earth heroes and their adventures. which is great for exposition in a series like this one.

[zachbeacon]

Maybe. Sort of think having a young Kang mucking around in the Multiverse would make for some interesting conflicts.

[cyberghostface]

You’d think Kamala would not wear Carol’s logo if she didn’t want to be called Ms. Marvel.

[thehood]

That's a very good point.

[cricharddavies]

"It's my damn logo now, and get off'n my lawn!"

[long_silence]

That sounds about right. Khan has been wearing that logo for decades, most of her life. Comparatively Carol would have only worn it for a few years at most from Khan's perspective.

[thehood]

But she doesn't want to be called Ms. Marvel. It's odd she's still wearing the logo if she doesn't want the name.

[zylly]

I kind of want to know what happened to the last group of Exiles, with Kid Panther and all. As I recall, the series left on a cliffhanger of leaving with the wrong Wanda.
