    Oh man, I am not sure I am the right person to ask. I have read both, but boy do I love me some Exiles... may I ask why either piques your interest? The alt reality nature of both? Exiles has more alt reality to it... is it something else? Seeing familiar characters in a different light? I think Mutant X might do a better job here... doesn't jump around as much and more of the main characters have 616 counterparts...  
     
    Best writing and storylines.... I think Exiles had more highs and lows... with storyline. Writing, I might have to reread Mutant X myself to judge well...

    haha see thats the thing, I like the alt reality stuff, I have read all I could about both series and I just cannot choose..none of my friends have read any of these titles (which i found odd, but then again neither have I) and they are both fairly short runs so getting the full series wont leave me broke (always a plus) I just need some opinons, pros, cons....exc.

    Oh okay I see, I'll run down a huge Pro/Con list later for each if no one else provides any more info. ^_^ 
     
    Exiles would be the more larger choice, I was going to say more expensive, but they have those fancy super sized TPB's that are pretty good value.
