It's just a design sketch, so who knows if it's in the comics, but looks like Thor got his arm back.

The Necrosword was made by Knull, god of the symbiotes. And that thing merged with Ego the Living Planet.

If we're basing this on Powers of X #4, I don't think Krakoa is supposed to be from outer space? The narration was that there was one island called Okkara that was attacked (from below?) by some sort of demonic looking creatures who split Okkara into Krakoa and Arakko. Apocalypse (and his "First Horsemen") fought back the invaders and sealed them (and Arakko) away from the world, leaving Krakoa alone where Okkara once was (again, presumably on Earth).

As for the sword, it was identified as the Twilight Sword, which is an established (albeit flaming) sword forged by Surtur in the old Lee/Kirby Thor stories. It was last seen wielded by Carol Danvers in War of the Realms. It's never particularly looked like the sword in PoX #4.

All Black the Necrosword is the first symbiote and is generally portrayed as either a symbiote sword growing out of its wielder's hand/arm or as a gooey bloody sword that looks like it was made out of Carnage but is a standalone weapon. I don't think it ever had a gap in its chain of custody from "Knull makes it billions of years ago" to "Gorr finds it and starts using it to kill all gods" millions of years ago. It also doesn't look anything like the sword in PoX #4.

Despite being ID'd as the Twilight Sword, the sword that most resembles the one in that sequence (and lines up with unidentified demons bursting out of the Earth) is probably the Soulsword, except the Soulsword shows up repeatedly elsewhere in HoXPoX (in a flashback to the Phoenix Five in HoX #2, presumably by Rasputin in Year 100) and doesn't look like the sword in PoX #4 in either of those throughlines. Also the Soulsword was created by Illyana as a child in Limbo, so I have no idea how it would end up in the ancient past.

Also Apocalypse is only ('only') five thousand or so years old according to all previous stories, and according to Hickman's one-pager in Marvel Comics #1000 the original Horsemen that helped him fight off Krakoa's attackers are buried in a pyramid in Egypt, so despite the poetic flourishes the Krakoa thing probably wasn't crazy-crazy long ago.

Anyway, I have no idea what the sword is supposed to be but I am not really sure why it would be All-Black outside of "Donny Cates's Venom is inexplicably popular right now"

Great explanation. All black has been showing up everywhere so I just automatically assumed/misremembered .

That was a very satisfying pennutimate issue of Squirrel Girl. I continue to be amazed at how well North writer Doom.

Gwenpool meanwhile continues to be that most frustrating of comic, the almost, but not quite good, though I am curious if anyone actually crunched the numbers to back up thi issue's assertion that people bought more Gwenpool comic when she was more villainy.

Sort of obsessed with Peter, seems to know MJ, was strongly influenced by Norman Osbourne, looks a bit unhealthy, like some sort of demonic reincarnation.
It's clearly Gwen Stacy.
Just think about how jealous she got, when Spider-Man took of his mask for Black Cat.

The problem is that a) Mysterio knows Kindred's real name, and b) refers to Kindred as a 'he'.

Honestly, I figure at this point the mystery is going to shift to how Harry became this and what his actual motives are. I'm going out on a limb and guessing that there might have been more to his resurrection in BND than meets the eye...

Unnecessary details. Mysterio is from the movie industry. Of course he's sexist.

But yeah, it's obviously Harry, even though that sounds a bit lame. Why else would cornhair senior be proud of him. Unless it turns out to be Normans and Gwens son. That atrociously terrible story has technically never been retconned, right?

When was the last time we saw Harry anyway? Was it when his dad killed Flash?

He hasn't appeared at all in Spencer's run, which is kind of weird unless Pete and MJ have been avoiding him since they got back together.

Also he might know Pete is Spider-Man now? His son sure does.

It is unfortunate though that anyone searching him on Google will first stumble upon someone with the same name that is definitely not him though. It's a tough draw to share a name with someone who is infamously a literal piece of poo poo.

Agreed. He previously wrote She Could Fly as well, which was a great exploration of mental illness if a bit scattered (probably appropriately), so. I'm looking forward to what he does with Doom.
