I've been SO out of the Marvel comic universe over the last few years. Event after event, relaunch after relaunch, book after book happened until I didn't even recognize my favorite characters anymore. I didn't have the heart to keep up.
But, I figure, why not try to come back with a combination of my two favorite things: Cosmic Marvel, and Young Avengers.
Road to Empyre is a great jumping off point for new readers, or for old readers coming back. The art is gorgeous, both in the current time and the "flashback" art after old artists. I also enjoyed how much story and character got packed into the single "The Kree-Skrull War" issue when it was basically a catch-up issue. I want more stories about these families! I want a 6 episode series on the Warners!! (If I had to sit through the soul-aching garbage that was Runaways, then Marvel can definitely pay me back with The Warners.)
Also, I can't explain just how fast my heart fell right out of my ass seeing Teddy at the end there. I'm so damn excited to be back with him and Billy and to see where this goes.
Anyway. Happy to be back, happy to be here, and ready to dive into this event.
