#dc wtf week

So. Empyre.

1. I forgot how hard it is to read events

2. I forgot that genocides were actually Marvel’ thing

3. It turns out I have forgotten what it’s like to anticipate a new issue not with low-key dread, but with happy eagerness.

•  Oh my, did Marvel do stupidly plain plot with ridiculous spin-offs? (Empyre:X-men’s Mutant Zombies vs.Plant people?! Wtf?)

•   Did Avengers massacre fucking “peaceful” armada and brushed it off like it was nothing in the very first issue? And then proceeded to freak out about survivors killing Kotati during planet-side battles? (Hypocritical AND boring. Mah boys at YJ were doing after-battle clean up couple issues ago, much more relatable shit)

•   Did Kree and Skrull actually headhunted an emperor in the gay bar? (Yup. I also still think that this David/Tommy thing? Much yuck.)

•   Did Teddy and Billy marry in Vegas just because? (Wait, did they?)

•   But did it all happen coherently and beautifully? (Yes, yes it did)

Time permits, I’ll read it whole.

And the issue in which Teddy got himself this sweet ubersword.

Yup.
