We finally reach the end of our Empyre-sploitation... the miniseries I thought would never end. Today's episode and issue sees Explodey Boy talking to himself... and several pages devoted to Doctor Strange calling the Scarlet Witch an idiot.

At least it's over...

The Empyre-sploitation rolls on... and Jamie Madrox is a-okay with his dupes being eaten by zombies! Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about that. It's not ALL bad though... this issue might feature the best portrayal of Beast in many, many years! Sure, it's only like two-pages... but, it's something!

All that and some great and thought-provoking letters in our mailbag!

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!
