Marvel Comics Universe and September 2020 Solicitations Spoilers follows.
Empyre Event Ends With 3 Titles, 3 Aftermath Issues and 14 Cancelled Tie-In’s?! Solicitations and covers below.
The Missing
Marvel has cancelled 14 issues from various tie-in’s for the Empyre event, but at least one of them may still see life as a standalone graphic novel.
However, while the Avengers / Fantastic Four Empyre event contracted in the end in contrast the X-Men X of Swords event dramatically increased despite an allegation of racism.

Looks like the Empyre Aftermath: Avengers #1 one-shot will signal the relaunch of a fan fave super-hero team.
With Empyre ending, I had hoped to see the Empyre: Squadron Supreme tie-in and…
…the Union tie-in to Empyre, but alas that will not be (sorta).
Still curious how Marvel will end this event and what’s next.
