Posted: 2008-04-03 Updated: 2008-04-08 11:34:50
Each week we highlight a classic storyline told in full inside Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, the greatest collection of Marvel comics available online! This week we focus on Judd Winick and Mike McKone's epic three-issue tale, "A World Apart". The Exiles travel from reality to reality in order to make things right and keep that universe from going pear-shaped. Simple enough. Not even a year into their run, the team saw members come and go and popped into more alternate Earths than any Marvel character not dubbed a Watcher.
Unfortunately, it all went pear-shaped for the Exiles (again!) when they landed on an Earth controlled by the Skrulls, a shape-shifting alien race currently laying the smack down in "Secret Invasion." Maybe you've heard of them? Well, believe it or not, the Skrulls aren't even the big problem Team E was sent there to deal with.
Their task? Stop Galactus from consuming Earth!
Along the way, learn how and when the Skrulls took over the planet, watch Captain America battle Mimic and find out which Exile sacrifices themself to save all of reality.
As one of the most action-packed and emotional stories in a run FULL of action-packed and emotional stories, this isn't just a storyline spotlight. It's required reading. Check out all three issues of "A World Apart" (EXILES #8-#10), all available in Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited!
