We mentioned this a while back, Empyre: Avengers #0 Marvel did a good job of summing up the various histories involved in last week's Road To Empyre That includes the family from the recent Meet The Skrulls, to the origins of the battle between the war-loving Kree and the peaceful sentient plants, the Cotati for the[...]

Marvel has become over the years the House of Events, more than the House of Ideas that it once claimed to be.  There are usually at least four to five Event Crossovers (series that are significant "event storylines" that are separate from regular ongoings and serve as the "backbone" of the story, which then has[...]

Marvel Comics may be doing similar, albeit on their own terms. There was concern over the upcoming Empyre event, before the shutdown, the early numbers for Empyre were very low – at least for a big Marvel event However, after the shutdown, I understand that orders are significantly up on what they were before – though[...]

Including a certain Empyre #1 They will also have Back the Comeback in-store promotions for game stores are in the works and will be announced shortly. Now Marvel Adds #BackTheComeback Stickers to Their Comics. It is a weird statement And I have definitely heard the porntastic version of the #BackTheComeback slogan being used by folks a number[...]

Once upon a time, Marvel Comics planned quite a launch for their big event comic Empyre But the week that Diamond Comic Distributors closed its doors to new comics and stopped shipping out new product, was the week that Marcel Comics was due to debut its first Empyre comic books. Empyre: Fantastic Four #0 and Empyre: Avengers #0 are currently being held at Diamond[...]

No sign of the launches for Union, Power Pack, Champions or Children Of The Atom. So while we get a date for Empyre #1 – and for #2 and for #3 in July, there is no news on the Outlawed comic book event line, including the much-anticipated-for-whatever-reason New Warriors #1 But there is a launch for[...]

When Marvel Comics solicited Empyre X-Men #3 it was from that ubiquitous artist known only by the initials TBA We have no idea what they are like, as they are notoriously unreliable and pretty much always when the comic is published, they have been replaced by someone else So it is with Empyre X-Men #3[...]

The week that Diamond Comic Distributors closed its doors to new comics and stopped shipping out new product, was the week that Marcel Comics was due to debut its first Empyre comic books Empyre: Fantastic Four #0 and Empyre: Avengers #0 are currently being held at Diamond Comic Distributors warehouses and Marvel did not publish[...]

This week saw Marvel publish The Road to Empyre, tying up Meet The Skrulls, Incoming and a munch of Kree/Skrull Avengers stories from the past few decades, and a little Young Avengers for good measure, to make some sense of the Kree, Skrulls and Cotati races that seem to be behind much of the upcoming[...]

And he has this same dream every night. Just as Darwin survived within Vulcan, and had to be expelled, could an aspect of Black Bolt have taken up residency in Vulcan?

Folks, this is the kind of comics journalism the industry needs. Today, Pierce was covering Marvel's impromptu Empyre panel, and for the Q&A session, I suggested he ask the panel how mad they were at the intern who misspelled "Empire," which nobody caught before it was too late, forcing Marvel to just go with it[...]

He's much better known for his work on Beauty from Image Comics, but now he's got a Marvel comic with London writer studio White Noise's Alex Paknadel, part of the Empyre event, and bringing Swordsman into the whole affair, with Lords Of Empyre: Swordsman #1 out in June.

A press release from the House of Ideas today revealed a four-issue spinoff series titled Empyre: X-Men that will be so convoluted it requires every writer currently working on an X-book to make any sense of it at all.
