Empyre (2020)

[stingray]

Would recommended reading just be the main title, you think? I’d rather just get that, but want to make sure I get the story as best as I can that it reads well.

I'm wondering the same thing. I steer clear of most event tie-ins for financial reasons, but this story really interests me, so I might pick a couple of one shots (Swordsman and Squadron Supreme), because I really like those characters.

It does appear like it, although we've seen Teddy cleave through Ben and it was more of an energetic than physical thing.

Yeah, that's my thinking as well. I think Teddy probably can control the sword so its strikes become non-lethal. He obviously wouldn't want to just kill the Avengers or the FF.

He's been shown able to control it already I believe. In New Avengers he just knocked someone out by slashing through them.

I suspect the stabbing and slashing is related to how Excelsior can cut through magic and spells. Like its cutting through things influencing or controlling people to free them.

I can't tell you which specific ones because they canceled at least 60% of them, but you should look into picking up the X-Men one-shots and at least the team-related tie-in books (Avengers/F4). The exact amount of writing Ewing is doing for this even is unknown, but it's better to have as much context as you can get.

[Snoop Dogg]

None of the tie-ins seem to be important to the event, which is good. Events are supposed to provide a cool platform for other books' stories. Not the other way around.

[fin5]

yea they cut some of the tie-ins which is good.And this coming Wednesday if Empyer Avengers

Ok. Thanks. I always try and cut down on how much I buy, but sometimes I feel I'm missing out on some good stuff.

I'm guessing Carol's death is "metaphorical," as in the death of her as an accuser.

[Crimz]

Seems Empyre's gonna be Reed-centric for the Fantastic Four side of things... as per usual.

Meh.

[Ferro]

im very happy jen gets the immortal treatment, even if for a oneshot.

[Storm17]

Looks like we could be getting some focus on Johnny. About damn time!

The cover doesn't seem to indicate it, but could we see her get revived into classic She-Hulk? Probably too much to hope for.
