    I've got only one question now that the website's been broken for so long, for anyone who can answer. Wouldn't it be possible to come back to an older version where we could actually rank? (Which was the purpose of Favslist)

    In the latest fully-readable Marvel Comics Event, Empyre, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four gather their forces against a third party in the Kree/Skrull never-ending rivalry, the Cotati. In their origin story, they were peacefully living in Hala with the Kree until the Skrulls found their planet and offered for an alliance with the one who could bring them more in a short amount of time. The Kree built a techonological city with big towers while the Cotati grew a wonderful garden and won. Displeased, the Kree destroyed the peaceful Cotati and conquered Hala. The last remnants of the Cotati species grew with hatred in their hearts and found in their last son born from Mantis, a Cotati hybrid, and the Swordsman, a human once Avenger, the perfect Messiah. Gathering their strengths, they decide after the last peace treaty between the Kree et the Skrulls from the hand of their new emperor, Hulkling (born half-kree, half-skrull), to meet with the humans to avenge the death of their own and thus, start the Empyre storyline.

    On paper it seems great, packed with action and a relevant storyline, but in the lines, the psychological side and the characters lose interest in profit of the background story. It felt like watching a great trailer while the movie lacks in depth and intensity. I was expecting a lot from this event, especially from Hulkling since he appeared in one of the first books I read from the Marvel Universe (Young Avengers #1 in 2005), but except for one moment (rushed and hesitant), he was poorly displayed. I may read some of the side-issues but it won't be a priority.

      Editing … Nothing worse than when a good premise is squandered. The waste of potential is somehow worse than if there was no promise from the outset.

      Editing … True. Everytime there's an event, dc and marvel both advertise a lot about them. I instantly loved the drawings and expected a lot from the scenario but the only great moment they showed was its beginning. The rest wasn't even bad, but every issue failed to meet my expectations. Or maybe I'm more demanding than I was before!

      Editing … I only read good superhero comics like Immortal Hulk and Hickman's X-Men so it's weird when people say things like "modern Marvel comics are terrible" because I pay no attention to bad comics and forget they exist.

      Editing … Yeah I should do the same as you, Jack. I really love Hickman's X-Men. House of X was the first TPB I gave a 10/10 in my whole collection. ^^

      Editing … I'm accompanying it right now. I think my favourite arc comes at around chapter 60 something, the Goldy Pound one. I hope you like it.

      Editing … I get why you liked the Goldy Pond arc, it was captivating. They introduced great characters, more action, and as soon as I got in, I couldn't stop reading. It deserves a place among the best. I hope it will continue like this. :)

      Editing … I think that and pre-escape arc are the best, but the manga is good all the way through so far.

      Editing … It's funny to see that we organize our mangas the same way, by the magazines in which they're published. It feels relevant to me.

      Editing … Yeah, I try not ot give THAT much importance to it, but if it's Big Comics, for example, I already know it's more likely for me to like it, since I think half of my 10/10 have been from their magazines
