  It's been slow, but this event has won me over. I was not engaged in #1, kind of shrugged off #2, #3 and #4 started to tilt, and now I'm in. No specific moment, nothing tangible, it's just got its hooks into me.

  Also, come on, the clear takeaway from this event is that Al Ewing needs to write Fantastic Four.

  This has been one of the better Marvel crossovers in the last few years imo.

  I'm the same. I wasn't bothered about this at all as I've largely avoided these "event" series since civil war. I don't think its going to be a classic by any means but i keep picking it up so they must be doing something right.

  Haven't been picking it up, but from what I've seen this doesn't look too bad. But I think the problem for me is I don't see the point of it. Like really it came out of nowhere, at least in recent years events have been the culmination of runs (Secret Empire 2017, War of the Realms 2019) or because of synergy withmovies (Civil War 2 2016, Infinity Wars 2018), but Empyre seems to be neither of those, just seems like there's no reason for anybody to care about it. But I don't know, that's just my thoughts.

  Kind of seems like they had to rush out so much information so fast too, because of release schedule hold ups. It still seems like the event just started, but we are already so many issues into it. The event can kind of make your head spin when you're trying to get into it. I know what you mean about it feeling like it rushed in out of nowhere.

  That was exactly my perspective, Hedgehog. As in, I didn't care about it when it started, or even through issue 1. It won me over. It doesn't tie anything up, but it pulls on strings that Steve Englehart and Roger Stern laid in Avengers tales from decades ago.

  Yeah, fair enough. I have been seeing some people enjoy it, but on the whole not sure if people are bothered. Having seen a video review of this issue seems like some awesome solid stuff, but just not worth it for me as not sure if it actually matters at all.

  I'll agree with you.  Of those events listed all but Secret Empire were unnecessary, pointless, and a waste. Especially CWII and WotR.

  This issue felt a bit disjointed.

  The issue felt like it went by too fast. I would have liked to see more of the battle in Wakanda. The connection between Wiccan and Teddy being played up is nice, but Hulkling has been made to look quite weak which is a problem considering he is supposed to be the center of the story.
