Empyre - X-men #1 - Alien Plants vs Mutant Zombies vs SPOILERS

[Havok83]

were there any familiar faces being mutant zombies?

none that I recognized

I don't know why Hickman has to bring back the Hordeculture again.

because they're fun?

[king of hybrids]

Yet she went to Dr. Strange to originally help her do it. She feels shame and guilt and was too scared to approach any of the X-men

Im pretty sure she was asking Strange for help in retconning herself out of existence

[Journey]

Can we please address the demons why does this woman always take from demons!

[Tycon]

but to be fair, she may not feel she is deserving of getting the time of the day from mutants and may belive its her cross to bear and hers alone.

Nah that’s just her overstepping boundaries. If you’ve affected a community in a particularly devastating way because of self, why try to solve the problem by yourself without the input of anyone from said impacted community. Wanda reminds me of those “former racists” who try be allies but talk over marginalized ppl.

X-Men jobbing against 3 old women is a dream come true lol

Make them 4 and we have a Golden Girls revival.
And I love them ! (I discovered them a few months ago, I never ever watched them before)
Anyway, that's why I don't mind the Horde Culture lol

[Vishop]

I mean, if a group of plant men from outer space are invading Earth, bringing in some botanical-savvy superscientists is not crazy.

Aah the Cotati...I see. I guess a bunch of savvy old women is not crazy but stupid.

[Ferro]

anyways this issue was flawless, and this is the first taste of what hickman and howard do together, so its a positive experience for what x of swords will be.

There's 4 women in Hordeculture

One question, how did Xavier not realize what Wanda did? She brought the mutants back a month ago....wouldnt they register on Cerebro? Are they not really mutants? Are they not registering bc they are undead?

[Frobisher]

Hordeculture are fine in that Moses Magnum/Arcade/Mojo kind of batshit X-Villain that has nothing to do with the racism metaphor kinda way.

Also felt like TH's ideas work better when combined with Hickman's more disciplined storytelling, though at points you can identify which of them wrote a particular line of dialogue thanks to their writing quirks.

[U.N. Owen]

Plants vs. Zombies is the wacky comic book nonsense I live for.

Agreed! So many delicious nuggets. I like the idea that the gates need regular tending to.

Maybe Cerebro can't detect the undead. Also have we addressed that some of these mutants may have already been resurrected and now their's duplicates on genoshan soil?

[Will Evans]

Selene’s zombie Genoshan mutants registered on Cerebro back then.

[Veitha]

Selene's zombies were a bit "better" though? These zombies are pretty much movie-like zombies. Her zombies were better restored, so maybe their brain and all registered on Cerebro?

Oh, I even didn't remember that. Thanks, the gang is complete.
