A4: Empyre with a Y, a Super-Mega-Crossover Event So Big it Needs It's Own Handbook

When it comes to super-mega-crossover events, bigger is always better. If a super-mega-crossover event doesn't rock the Marvel Universe to its foundations leaving nothing ever the same again, what good is it, really? Likewise, everybody knows that any super-mega-crossover event worth its salt will have dozens of tie-ins and spinoff mini-series and feature an enormous cast of characters. But with so many characters running around, it can be hard to keep track.

Plus, Marvel's readers are so stupid, Marvel had to announce a four-issue mini-series to teach them how to read a comic book. These things barely even have words. They're mostly pictures, really. We so dumb. Durr de durrrr.

Recognizing our stupidity, however, Marvel is helpfully releasing an Empyre with a Y handbook to explain who all these characters and alien races are and stuff. And all we have to do is shell out an additional $4.99 so we can understand Empyre?! Sold!

Check out the solicit below.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
