You’re telling me Peter Parker is ...... Spider-man!?

My personal Lockjaw theory is that Lockjaw is smart enough to realize being a dog is a lot more fun than not being a dog. He acts like a dog most of the time,but when poo poo gets real he steps up.

That bit at the end of Infinity where him and Maxwell the Mad punk whoever from Thanos' Black Whatever is one of my favorite "gotcha" moments in comics.

It's the easiest way for him to get hugs.

The immediate and flawless reveal of the prophet already makes SW#7 amazing and I'm two pages in.

And the preview page / cover of SW#8 :vince:

Didn't they have in last issue him hanging out with Cap'n Marvel suggesting that he turn on Doom?

Trust me, you are taking this a lot more seriously then I am.
Sinister was established in the first two issues to hate being under Doom's thumb and jumped at the chance to rebel.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm going to enjoy this all so much in six months when I can finally read it all on Unlimited )=

Was the cover to Thors a reference to an older comic? You almost never see comics with word bubbles on the cover anymore.

I am still thinking Sinister Captain Marvel is a clone, even if she is the one who initiated the betrayal. Sinister kicking Maddy and complaining about her outfit was pretty amusing though.

Also Maximus's "It's me you idiots!" seems to be aimed at readers who had not figured it out.

I loved the "IT'S ME YOU IDIOTS" scene. With the big narration building it up it basically read like Hickman mocking his own writing style.


Also I guess one of the big questions coming out of SW now is who's gonna get Ultimate Thor's hammer?

Do comics on Unlimited go up six months after they were supposed to come out, or six months after they actually came out?

If you're Hawkeye, both. (The final issue went up on Unlimited for like a day right after it shipped before they realised and took it down, if I recall)

#7 was pretty good but I don't get the "IT'S ME YOU IDIOTS" thing. Did the prophet or whatever not just show up at the end of #6?

Yeah it was Hickman mocking himself. The one-two page narrative buildup is something he does often and to just immediately have Maximus knock it off was pretty great. It was a nice "enough of this poo poo, let's start the action" moment.

Secret Wars Too also has a fun Hickman joke.
