You know as much as everybody else.

I was expecting Scott to get super-pissed once he teleported into the raft, a la Kirk in Star Trek VI after Spock beams him up off Rura Penthe just as Kirk was going to learn who set him up.

Just found out about this today. I stopped reading Marvel back at the end of Secret Invasion, I'm kind of excited to see them doing a total reset. Hoping it will fare better than the new 52 ended up.

Okay I'm a little out of the loop on what the sublines mean. Whats the difference between the two?
This would be good OP information:
(cribbed from Marvel's site)

"Last Days" will show several characters from Captain America and Ms. Marvel to Loki and Magneto in their final adventures before the Marvel Universe comes to an end in Secret Wars. They will expand on moments either briefly seen or not glimpsed at all in the main SECRET WARS series, allowing one last look at the past before the Marvel Universe moves forward.

"Warzones" takes place on the patchwork planet of Battleworld, but follows stories with more separation from the main SECRET WARS while providing building blocks for the future of the Marvel Universe.

"Battleworld" will be concerned with the infrastructure of the Battleworld as a whole. You'll see your favorite heroes and villains take on unfamiliar roles as well as revisit classic incarnations. Battleworld series contain stories that will directly affect the main story taking place in SECRET WARS and characters who will play a part in the larger event.

The X-Men one sounds plausible in comparison but the F4 sounds completely insane. There is like a 0% chance Hickman does that.
This is all speculation so I'm not spoiling--so since earth was destroyed, is there going to be ANOTHER terrigen mist outbreak around the globe once things are put back together? That's dumb.

You will probably have no idea what's going on. If anything, start with the Secret Wars #0 issue, which tries to tell the whole story in a few pages. You'll still be way behind. If you're really interested in what's going on, read the A/NA runs.

We don't know what/who/etc. creates (or created) Battleworld yet do we? I'm not sure if I missed something in a book or it's just still not explained.

And also was whatever Doom shot at the Beyonders at the end of NA33 supposed to be something specific or just a generic super bomb?
I'm pretty sure SW#2 will explain a lot about the origin of Battleworld.

We've agreed it's the Library.

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?

Yeah, there's not much point of a critical lifeboat if people off the lifeboat can survive. Sue, the kids, whoever else was on the chunk that got ripped off, got absorbed into the new milieu of Battleworld.

Sue and the others could just have been made by Doom out of whole cloth. I doubt Sinister and the Braddocks were in the piece that broke off.
I meant that we didn't see any version of any of the characters that knew about life in the 616/1610 who were locked safely away in the two liferafts. Val, Susan, Bentley, Strange, etc...these are not the same ones who we were dealing with at The End of All Things. We did not see any Reeds, Namors, Black Panthers, etc, either, and I'm sure they will be all Whatdafuk (to some degree) as much as The Cabal was. Their original uh, "essence"/616/1610-itude will still be there, unlike everyone we met in this issue who thinks they're native to Battleworld (Doom aside maybe who knows yet).

Well, if you dig Hickman's Avengers, you're gong to love his Fantastic Four. If you're interested in Dr Strange specifically, he's not in enough comics to begin with, but in random order you should check out: The Oath, X-Statix Present: Dead Girl, The Original Lee/Ditko run of Strange Tales, Matt Fraction's Defenders, Most every other run of Defenders, Triumph and Torment, the Doc Strange and Doc Doom team-up.
My favorites, bolded. Fraction's Defenders is just 12 issues and wholly self-contained, and T&T is a damned great oversized one-shot that everyone should read.
