Yeah, he has a grandson!
Despite the fact that his grandson, called Xaiver the second which means he has to be alive at the same time as someone also named Charles Xaiver to have that name and it seems that he was conceived by Charles Xaiver and Mystique. Despite ALL those facts, he's Xavier's grandson. Because Bendis says so.

He kind of vanished from existence and folded himself into that blindfolded girl's mind or something at the end of Spurrier's Legacy.

Bendis might've also done some horrible "retcon" as well.

That's the only kind of retcon he does. Comixology needs to bump up its release schedule from 9am EST to like 6am. Wednesday mornings waiting for comics is bullshit.

It's a Marvel thing. DC does it at Midnight. Trust me I know the pain this used to really suck when I had a long commute and no wifi access and 4G was a small rear end phone screen.

Secret Wars as High Fantasy AU fan fiction is totally fine with me, especially with Doom as God above. Love the set up of The Wall in this issue too, which almost got me pumped for Kieron Gillen's Siege...then I realised Filipe Andrade was drawing it :(

Yep, and next week is A-Force, Ultimate End, Loki, Masters Of Kung Fu, Spider-Verse, Battleworld and Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars :allears:

That's Franklin's Galactus, Doom probably has it on a lease.

Note that the three classified kingdoms on the Battleworld map were revealed: Doomstadt, Doomgard, and Valley of Doom. And they changed the name of the Wall to the Shield, probably got a little too close to Game of Thrones there.

Everything about this is exciting! The writers at Marvel better milk this setting for all it's worth.

So do we think that Doom created his denizens out of the aether or that he brought them from somewhere? Like what universe are those Braddocks from?

Also this reveal:

Oh hey is that Thor? Oh it's a bunch of Thors ok...who's making all those Thors?

Like I kind of understand they they did it because the conclusion to Avengers is (probably) pretty important to what is going to happen in Secret Wars, but god drat I would have been so much more satisfied the other way around. It's something that will read fine in a trade/Omni, but is kind of jarring month to month.

There is a handbook coming out next month I think. Or the next month.

As for the issue I dug some of it but not other parts. I love Hickman and all this run but I just didn't love this issue at all. Not sure why. Hopefully something clicks for me in the next issue.

So is it safe to assume Sue Valeria and Franklin got there first and the Rafts crash landed? Meaning our 616 heroes are gonna have to get through Battleworld to Doom? And does this mean Doom did beat the Beyonders or that they saw fit to give him power?

I don't think it's safe to assume anything we haven't been explicitly shown. And even then it's a bit of a toss up.

I don't think the Beyonders were looking for anything past blowing everything up. Which they did. I bet they show up at the end when they reboot everything and go "eh, whatever". Doom's power came from either MM (absent so far) or surviving the multiverse explosion he caused.

He's been a god before and he's created a universe in the past. I do like this new approach.

The Ribec art is certainly very very nice and gives it an almost European comic feel.
