Pick Up Empyre: X-Men Engineered By Jonathan Hickman Available In EPub

decent tie in. Some cool moments of Magick fucking shit up makes it worth reading alone, We also have the return of the old ladies from Hickman's early issues of Xmen, They're just as batshit insane and make for some comedic moments,

The ending is actually well done but the middle feels long, We had to pad it out to give some cool fight scenes and such but nothing interesting happens too much, The start and ending are the best part but not as good as the actual Empyre event,

Aout of, Alien plants versus mutant zombies! Plant people from outer space have come to Earth as part of the cosmic events of EMPYRE but wouldn't you know it, they happen to arrive just as millions of deceased mutants rise from the grave as undead creatures hungry for human flesh! What are the odds And can even the XMen handle two simultaneous crises The XMen return to the graveyard island of Genosha in a tale so crazy, it's taking the entire writing crew of the Dawn of X line to tackle it! COLLECTING: EMPYRE: XMENSo i t's the XMen sitelinkEmpyre series, it's gotta be just average right Four comic books, eight!! writers, five artists more rubbishing of Wanda Maximoff's character some highlevel mansplaining as a plot device an alien plant invasion more shitting on Genosha's memories and Zombies! So no.
. . it's not average. . it's shhhh .

God bless the internet that allows me to read this for free online and outrageous that Marvel can charge anybody for this, If you are following sitelinkJonathan Hickman's XMen this volume is irrelevant, If your reading sitelinkEmpyre books, this volume is irrelevant, In fact if you are a human being, this book is pointless!out of, just for the nods to XMen continuity and calling a mutant called, . . 'Explodey Boy'!
A “Plants vs, Zombies” joke cant lastissues, now can it
What a mess, . . Even though I did enjoy the core EMPYRE series, . this not so much.
I liked Magyk and Angel being lead characters, . . the Senior super Hero group Horticulture are still fun, . . but plants v zombies. . its been done. . Okay. Well that was terrible. Eight writers and seven artists over a fourissue miniseries, The math doesnt add up to anything except a disjointed narrative and inconsistent art, This felt out of sync with the rest of the Empyre event, as if it did not fit into the larger narrative, But the whole plants versus zombies riff that it took was a good time,.rounded up. Multiteam books sometimes do not land well, but this one was handled right,

We have a tale of Alien Plants Empyre's Coatatl vs Mutant Zombies resurrected dead of Genosha vs Old Ladies vs Xmen, It's a crazy concept that makes for a lot of fun, Empyre Xmen is a pretty run of the mill tiein overall, I was actually kind of getting into it despite the appearance of Hordeculture I cant even, but I feel like they kind pull the rug out from

under you at the end by going for laughs instead of showcasing a much more interesting battle that takes place in the background.
Damn I am the biggest sucker for a Magik story, . . The story itself meh. It starts off like a train wreck with Wanda wanting to fix her oopsie daisy, After you ignore that part it turns into a bigger mess with the old ladies returning to fight the plant people and just to spice it up some mutant zombies.
yes its that messy.

BUT BUT Magik is extra pissed off and hands out extra doses of grumpy sauce because, . . well she is Magik. She takes center stage for the most part and the ending is one big pile of crap but I loved watching her slice up enemies,

I will say a bunch of authors and artists tackle this book and the art fares better than the writing, . . sorry hickman. The artists really turned up the juice on this book, it has some cool action panels and crisp clear line work,

Do you like Magik and her crappy attitude, then this book is fun, The story in this mini is an atrocious mess, which is exactly what youd expect with eight different writers working on it, There were even more artists than writers, so the arts pretty variable in quality, too,

Apparently, the big joke of this series is that its a play on a video game called Plants vs, Zombies. I dont really do video games, so this was mostly lost on me, Im afraid,

To be honest, the only part of this book I really liked, storywise, was the scene where KrakoaresurrectedExplodey Boy has a hearttoheart with Scarlet WitchresurrectedExplodey Boy, The convoluted nature of that last sentence is, however, a good indicator of what a mess the story is overall,

: story, artwork
: story, artwork

Overall:,, begrudgingly rounded up to.

This was my first book ofand I just hope its not an indication of how the years going to go, . .

My next book: sitelinkEmpyre: Lords of Empyre Breaking this book down, we need to cover three topics:
Starting out, we see Scarlet Witch undertaking a quest to reverse the effects of MDay, which has haunted her ever since.
Combining togethermagical artifacts, she creates a staff of power and heads to Genosha, where the dead mutants are, proclaiming "Mutants of Genosha LIVE!", . . which does exactly what a spell that backfires would do, Awakens the millions of dead to be zombies,
The Cotati see the main Empyre title are going to use the island of Genosha as a staging ground for their invasion of Wakanda, Angel, Magik, Multiple Man, and Monet who is somehow also Penance, . . I'll have to look that up, Don't remember are sent out by the Quiet Council to investigate why the Genoshan gate to Krakoa is acting up, Teaming up with Hordeculture love these sassy fun old ladies! they discover there are two threats now: Cotati and Zombies,
Enlisting most of the psychics of Krakoa, the mutants fight both forces, At some point, Magik brings in some of the demons from Limbo to assist, However, when she comes into contact with the magic staff mentioned earlier her Darkchylde persona comes out full force, The Cotati are expelled from Krakoa, but Magik lays claim to being the Demonic Zombie Queen of Genosha, just before the spell runs out and all the zombie mutants lose their lives again,

I really had fun with this Volume, Hickman is leading one of the most amazing times to be an XMen fan, AND, even though this was directly tied to the Empyre event, there was enough else going on that it felt important to the overall picture and essential to read.


High recommend. If you read Marvel, you should be reading the XBooks, This Empyre tiein for the XMen was unexpected light in tone, which nicely offset the often rather heavy seriousness of most of the Dawn of X books, It was a strange setup to have Scarlet Witch creating millions of mutant zombies from the dead of Genosha, but it was a decent enough way to contrive something for the Coati to face other than the XMen themselves.
To bring in the old ladies of Hordeculture sort of added insult to injury, but it still largely made sense,

The final resolution to things was a little crazy but still amusing, to say the least, It did sort of make sense given that we do live in a new time for mutants where all the dead can be brought back to life, which includes a lot of the ones who had originally died on Genosha.
It probably doesn't really connect to the larger story of the big war, but it's still something, Bueno todo cómic donde Magik sea personaje principal siempre termina gustándome, en este caso pasé un muy buen rato sobre todo con el númerodonde Werneck fue el dibujante del número entero, a muchos nos emocionó de hecho que aparezca Magik con su armadura plateada que hace mucho no se le veía.
En cuanto al argumento regular, tiene ratos cómicos y también de combate, sin embargo, no estoy familiarizado con el evento Empyre, por lo que no sé casi nada de esa rara invasión a cargo de plantas y zombies a la cual ahora les toca el turno a los X.
Men de enfrentar. Todo ello marea mucho. No sé si le dé una oportunidad a Empyre para poder comprender más de este crossover, One of the new era of XMens first major crossover events in the Marvel Universe, getting to see the iconic mutant heroes fighting against a group of magical plantlike warriors from space is the perfect story for the XMen.
The artwork is phenomenal, and the overall crossover connection is perfectly balanced with the individual stories of the XMen as a whole, making this a great addition to the XMens new and growing mythos.
