Incidentally, you'll have noticed no sign of Lunella in Empyre... I assume that's because Outlawed takes place at the same time (both Champions and Empyre were originally solicited to start in April), meaning she's in hiding (with the Champions, who were never meant to play any part in Empyre even before the cutbacks). Honestly, they need to address that, because it would affect Franklin, Valeria, Jo-Venn and N'Kalla if they try to do any heroics. Outlawed probably ends in March (Champions #5 is out in February, but there'll still be at least one issue each of Power Pack and New Warriors assuming they launch in November), but Empyre will be over in September, six months earlier, so the next arc of F4 will still overlap it.
