I've not read Empyre and apparently missed any news that Ka-Zar had died. Marvel didn't make an issue of it apparently. At least not with promotion like the upcoming Death of Dr. Strange anyway.
Is a Ka-Zar with powers....still Ka-Zar? Reminds me of Punisher vol.2(late 90s) when he was "killed" in the electric chair but brought back instantly and in doing so had these "angelic spirit weapons" he could conjur in the form he chose, he chose traditional looking guns of course. Frank Castle with powers isn't really.....Frank Castle.
Sooooo, is Ka-Zar with powers still really Kevin Plunder????

I'm not wild about the art, a bit to on the pastel side but I don't outright hate it. Will wait for trade especially since I've not read Empyre and may not for a while. My backlog with 2 kids keeps getting worse for my "trade waits". It is all I can do to read the 8-12 monthly books I limit myself to.
