There's some stuff about Aurora and Northstar in there too...but it looks like he'll still be jobbing....

First look at Exodus:

Glad he's back to his classic look. And back in general.

Well then Nate comes back as well the pwns him again...

Another Exodus page from the annual.

Looks like it's going through Exodus' history. Who knows, maybe we'll be luckily enough to see him get some characterization again.

Carey's X-Men hasn't been too bad. I always liked Exodus as a villain.

Rumour has it that Exodus will be forming a new Brotherhood. So i guess it starts in this issue.

Random will appearing in the annual so he'll probably be in it. And i wouldn't be surprised to see Northstar and Aurora join up (before they eventually turn good again). Cargill or whatever her name is supposed to be a member aswell.

I liked Exodus when he was a real badass(way back in the X-men/Avengers crossover back in mid-late 90's). He was such a threat back then. I hope they bring back the character to his former glory.

New Brotherhood? Meh...hopefully they don't get thumped....I suppose Carey doesn't want to make him a team buster....

well the team is supposedly supposed to be stacked. so far we know that cargill, random and exdus are apart of it.

I'm getting this just for Aurora

Really? That astounds me. I thought you'd be getting it cause you're a die hard Mystique fanboy.
/sarcasm

I hope this is the beginning of a good return for Exodus. He has the potential to be a top class villain, which the X-Book have been lacking for a food while now.

Liking a character and being a fanboy is completly different.

so its gonna be like the same deal with the sentry where they did some retroactive issues to bring us up to speed?

Random? Nice, I thought he died in X-Factor

Eh...I really like Exodus, hope he doesnt rehash his latest showings. restore him to wat he was...

Ah, Random... really?

*vomits*

Oh thats right he got smashed a long with Diamond Lil by Box bots, I remember now Random was killed but brought back and eventually captured by Weapon X.

Looks like Exodus will be donning a new costume (not sure if i like it or not yet...)

Seems this new Brotherhood will consist of Exodus, Tempo, Frenzy and Random. And i'm sure with the Annual focusing on Northstar and Aurora, the Bortherhood will be approaching them for membership.

I don't particularly like the new costume. But there's something about Bachalo's art I generally just don't like...

Cover art is nice though:

Mark Brook's art, not Bachalo's.

Then you have confused me.

The not liking Bachalo art.

And the liking the cover art.

Were unrelated comments. Bachalo's art is always pretty easy to discern.

Hmm....I don't really like his new look...you have to wonder what happened to that awesome ornament he had on his back.

Well read the spoilers of the advanced copy and Northstar and Aurora turn good and are fully healed

Oh yeah...Exodus returns to his former glory...only issue I have with the book is Rogues comment about having the original Cerebro and having the worlds most powerful telepath.(Cable burnt out his powers and if she's referring to Emma...well then it's doubtful...I'm just going to take it as one of Rogues ditzy moments...)

Also the fact that they neglected Exodus' speech bubble...his bubble usually has a purple border around and the writing is usually shakey.
Anyway I liked it.

The equavilent to telepathic Ninjas:

One more thing...it's revealed that Wanda Maximoff removed the X-gene from every carrier.
