The title signifies midnight… It's also something that seems to have stirred something in Al Ewing He picked up on the phrase used in Marvel Mystery Comics #1 back in 1938 with The Human Torch And used it that panel as an intro image and to title the first chapter in Marvel Comics #1000, eighty years[...]

The ending of Empyre, published today, is one that is meant to shock the Marvel Universe, apparently, as we also see at the end of Guardians Of The Galaxy #6, also written by Empyre co-writer Al Ewing With Rocket Raccoon seemingly catching up by reading the Bleeding Cool spoilers.
