September 9, 2020 9:43 am Paul O'Brien did a review of the event Axis years ago. He said the problem with Axis is that its story couldn't bear the weight of being the foundation of a crossover. That's because it was just an Uncanny Avengers story given a bump and not built as a crossover. Civil War, World War Hulk, and Siege worked because they were built as crossovers. Secret Invasion was just supposed to be a New/Mighty Avengers x-over, Fear Itself was supposed to be a Thor/Cap Bru/Fraction x-over, War of the Realms is just the continuation of Jason Aaron's Thor. Its not impossible to build a crossover from a run (Blackest Night) but its story has to be able to bear that extra weight. Empyre should have just been a Fantastic Four/Avengers summer crossover with all of the meat of the story therein.
