Doom gets punched a bunch and it's all a little disappointing after this much of a wait?

It's a shame the delays killed all the momentum for this. I'll always believe that if they'd managed to keep to their plan and run the event in its entirety from May-Sept and launch all the new #1s in the first week of October, it would be remembered as one of the great events ever (I know, not a high bar to clear). As it is, having 3 of the 9 issues of the main series published after 95% of the event was finished mooted the entire thing, even if the central story has always been great, at least to me. Also, I think if you take the Avengers/New Avengers arc and Secret Wars main series as one long story, it'll stand up to re-reading as well as any major arc or story that I'm aware of.

The end is going to loving own and it will be Reed Richards finally solving everything and he's going to kiss Sue and punch Doom at the same time.

At this point I'm pretty over Secret Wars despite really loving it at the start. The delay really killed it for me as well. In hindsight it was a great story but the wait killed it.

You thought the story was garbage? One of my favorite things about Ribic's art is in amidst this watery, impressionistic art style he throws in cartoonish  eyes on people all the time.

Yeah, the worst I can say is Williamson didn't seem to know what he was doing on Red Skull and Bendis put too much time into Old Man Logan and forgot to think of an ending for Ultimates End.

The delays are a shame, but Secret Wars has still been a great time. Great event book, even if I vastly prefer Avengers/New Avengers leading into the story. The whole thing has been incredibly satisfying, like reading the comic book version of a great HBO tv show. I can't wait for Secret Wars #9. All I hope is that Reed gets the ending he deserves, given all he's gone through up until now. Norns posted:No. Sorry bad choice of words on my part. I really thought you said you thought it was garbage and was like "WHAT!" It's my favorite run -> event of Marvel in a very very long time. I can understand people being down on the delays, or the convoluted reading order of A/NA going into Secret Wars, but holy poo poo it's been a crazy ride.

Hickman brah you loving nailed it, thanks for a really entertaining ride for the past 7 years or so. The only thing I'm left wondering is if we're left with an alternate history of the Marvel U from pre-incursion events to now, and how the multiversal elements that currently exist (Hyperion, Dr. Spectrum, Starbrand, etc) came to be if the incursion events never happened.

Like to see the Franklin one shot of him reading the Marvel wiki to recreate all the realities. "Wait so it's everyone alive today but their early 17th century versions? Whatever"

Yeah, okay, I was wrong about the ending. The epilogues would have been better if it was on time, sadly. But yeah, Hickman nailed that ending. I feel like I gotta go back and reread everything starting with F4.

That was hands down one of the best single issues of a comic book I've ever read in my life. God bless Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic, that was a wild ride.

Holy loving poo poo, what an ending. Everything about it was perfect. Reed, Doom, Miles, bringing it ALL THE WAY BACK to what was the first incursion moment in Wakanda. Holy gently caress that was amazing. I can't believe how perfect and how honest Doom's defeat came. That was a loving amazing. "Well, since you both agree.." And that last panel with Doom laughing

Great ending. I must have stared and those last 2 pages for 10 minutes letting it all soak in. The Maker's betrayal, the fight between god Doom and BP with the IG, Doom admitting he wasn't the better man, such a perfect ending. I wish we'd gotten this before Iron Man shipped because Reed healing Doom and giving him everything back was just so noble and such a nice change of pace from the standard "beat up the bad guy and throw them in jail" kind of thing. Godspeed Hickman, please come back soon. Preferably to kick Slott off Spider-Man and write that. You wrote the most noble Reed Richards anyone has ever written, and I can't even imagine how good your Spider-Man could be with the same attitude.

The HC once he re-edits SW#7-8 is going to read so loving nice. I'm all in on digital but I'm definitely getting a physical copy of the whole thing.
