This really was Avengers #45 or New Avengers #34. I'm so loving depressed right now. So, are we assuming Battleworld was Ultimate Reed's idea? There were a few great character moments, as Punisher and Cyclops got nice Christmas presents. :in smith:

The book beginning and ending with Doom is making me think Battleworld will be his thing and Reed/Maker/Survivors end up there. I don't think Ultimate Reed cares enough about other universes to try to save any of them. Cyclops owned. Punisher owned. Susan dying pretty much ruined my day/week/year.

Uh, so The Punisher logo is on the last page. I can't imagine it's not significant.

I like the name of the shop/restaurant on the page with Spidey telling everyone to get off the streets: NONOFUKU

Well that was intense. I don't think it really stands on its own without New/Avengers. New readers are going to be terribly alienated.

Jesus Christ, I need the rest of this yesterday. I guess that the in-universe explanation for the end of the F4. Ultimate Reed vs. 616 Reed who's just lost his entire family is going to be good!

But honestly, Franklin was in there and if you think a little thing like being ripped apart by cosmic forces outside all space and time would even slow him down you didn't look at who was writing this book.

There is nothing that will ever make me care about this multiversal poo poo. I just hope that it doesn't gently caress over the books that I'm reading. If I wanted to read stories that would every so often be thrown away like so much garbage in order to repeat the same basic points over again, I'd read DC.

I wonder if Phoenix-Cyclops will be the new status quo after Secret Wars. Keep the young Scott around as Cyclops, and rename the old Scott as Phoenix. Pretty excited to see him in a major role.

I just love him just floating in riding a loving sentinel while everyone is killing everyone esle doing his Phoenix thing while monologing to himself. Phoenix Cyclops is the Best Cyclops.

Same, but also Spider-Man. I like how they were unafraid to kill major characters on-panel, even if it'll be undone. Rocket getting a hole in his chest was depressing.

It seems kind of odd to me that Scott Summers was on the lifeboat list, unless that was a last minute audible by Manifold.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:The book beginning and ending with Doom is making me think Battleworld will be his thing and Reed/Maker/Survivors end up there. I don't think Ultimate Reed cares enough about other universes to try to save any of them. You're right, I thought something was an implication U Reed was collecting stuff/people but upon rereading, it's more likely that he was just preparing their own city/raft. Doom certainly looks like he could be going back to Secret Wars 1 #10-12 power levels. Rereading the issue, there's a lot of stuff we don't actually see play out: Miles looking at Ultimate Reed's stuff, the actual effects of the Phoenix egg and Manifold staying behind in the machine. I assume the machine is another take on the bridge, from that time Black Swan told Reed to build a machine that functioned on need. Coupled with Manifold recently finding out that his powers weren't just regular teleportation but could also work on need, I could see him saving a shitload of people by getting them somewhere outside the multiverse. Also, that Hulkball special was a thing of beauty. Edit: Manifold didn't have a list, he just teleported necessary people. It's unclear whether Cyclops ends there thanks to the Phoenix egg or Manifold.

Yeah I think Cyclops just teleports himself there. Also why did Manifold teleport Star-Lord onto the ship?

Theoretically it'll all get set up by Uncanny #600 but I'm not holding my breath. zoux posted:It seems kind of odd to me that Scott Summers was on the lifeboat list, unless that was a last minute audible by Manifold. That was definitely an audible. Guy With Phoenix Powers would be pretty handy to have onboard your make-a-new-universe crew.
