I loved Empyre ...
Wow, that's good. You seem to be one of the few but damn glad it hit hard for some. I think, for me, somehow (I can't put my finger on it) that the FF side that was good, was good, but still had a Slott flavor to it that bugged me. Plus, the Coati (sp?) never seemed too much of a threat. They were, but ... hell, I don't know. Glad you dug it though
Also as for X of Swords, I can't blame ya. 22 issues is a bit much for a inner title event, considering it doesn't have any "tie-ins"
But dang it ... I'm in for it
(then dropping almost all the X-books, but they have me for now)
Hawkman #1-4 - I enjoyed this. Maybe it reads better when it’s free.
It may well have.
It wasn't terrible, but I lost interest after a few issues. Not due to story, or art, per se, but I think my head was not in the right space at the time. I kept trying to tie stuff in, fill the lacking history I have and as I am not knowledgeable on older Hawk stuff, other than he reincarnates
, I was getting lost a little I think. I probably should have just let the book come to me instead of trying to force total understanding of a subject into my head all at once
Good news is you will get the new origin/history a lot sooner than I did
(Which again, I LOVE the new one!!!)
Apparently all he was doing was ruining the Justice League movie for Ray Fischer and Zach Snyder, according to Ray Fischer
Yeah, ole Ray is calling out everyone aint he. Haha, WB, Joss Wheadon, Johns, ... Now he has Aquaman by hs side though so I don't know what to think!
X of Swords: Creation #1 [...] I think everyone was right. It's got to do with Excalibur; the swords in Cable; Apocalypse; and who knows what else!
Well I think the sword in Cable may be involved, but the story of the sword, with the ... others that were involved ... is not the main push like I had thought after a few issues of Cable. It became clear that the X of swords was not going to be about that certain planet shall we say
DCeased: Hope at Worlds End #10 - Another nothing issue. This things swings pretty regularly from "eh" to really good. This week was "eh".
DAMN IT!
Juggernaut #1 - Decent first issue setup stuff. Taking on the Hulk next issue is promising.
Is this just a Juggy story by itself? Just a mini, not an Swords tie-in? I haven't decided to get this yet so kinda curious. I know it isn't a "part" of the Swords storyline, but does it tie-in at all is what I guess I mean
Not much for me so far. Just one

Cimmerian: People of the Black Circle #1 - Finally finished this. Ablaze is trying to go through all the Robert E. Howard Conan stories so there is nothing new here that I haven't read 50 times over, but the art is still hard for me to get past. Again, not that it is bad, just doesn't fit. Still, I will be getting the next (last) issue of this story as well to support a good thing (overall good thing at least)
