Overall Im really enjoying this adventurous space opera. Its a lot of fun to read and an absolute pleasure to look at. Just when you think the pace is starting to slow down, it picks right back up again at an alarming rate. I appreciate the level of intensity that the story takes and that coupled with Millars ability to establish some complex characters and dynamic relationships makes for some interesting storytelling. Empress #4 has offered us some entertaining moments and another intense cliffhanger and Im looking forward to reading the next issue in this adventure and seeing where it takes us next!

It was never meant to be incredibly deep, but there is a profundity to the simplicity of the premise. Read Full Review
Action, Action and more action!! I love how the kids had a moment to shine for a bit before the engine of action revved up again. I'm loving the Art and Coloring of Immonen and VonGrawbadger. It's sleek and bright what a universal trot should be. And Millar just knows how to make a story exciting. Can't wait for next issue.
Millar continues his pretty incredible killstreak. This is a really fun series.
This issue picks up with some unique action and a couple quiet character moments.
Art is the only thing keeping this thing together. Mark, why are you dropping the ball on this? Are you over-worked?
I do wish we had less jumping around the universe into different peril's all the time. Can we have some plot and character development? Art is great but the writer is just going through the motions.
