Mutant psychics have gone missing... there's fire in the skies... and the X-Men have a pretty good idea what might be responsible - and so, they break into a bunch of teams to MacGuffin-hunt!

Also: The Elsewhere Diner gets itself a patron with the ability to bend spoons...

Still having a lot of fun with this "Sunday Special Series"... and I hope you are as well!

Welcome, friends - to Empyre!

Now, your fumblin', stumblin', humble host hasn't the foggiest idea what Empyre is all about - but, even without peeking can hazard a handful of guesses...

Since this is a Marvel mass-crossover-event, one might assume we're dealing with:

Interchangeable Alien Invasion
Heroes Fighting Heroes
A story featuring our heroes bouncing everything off uninteresting and snarky S.H.I.E.L.D. characters
Finding out - Everything we thought we knew... was wrong!

I mean, it's gotta be at least two of those, right? I suppose it's time for us to find out! I hope you come along for the ride... it might just be a bumpy one!
