I was really worried when the Ultimate universe started up that it was going to completely replace 616 as the primary Marvel universe. Everything released around that time outside of comics seemed to be focused on it. The stupid thing is the main reason I didn't like the Ultimate universe because I hated Thor's look. That hammer/axe thing was dumb and he had leds on his chest. Was he based on Techno Viking or something?

Ultimate Carol is pretty much responsible for Parker's death. If she had not demanded he get trained, Punisher would never have shot him. Though one thing I do like about the Ultimate Universe, I do love old hippy Aunt May.

I'm pretty sure Val is going to figure things out, that this is a constructed Universe, that was her whole talk with the Sheriff of Agamotto (serious, Stephen needs to keep that title) and is going to be the one who is the catalyst for everything returning to normal.

There's literally a comic called Kitty Pryde and Star Lord, so I'm sure she'll be in that.

My assumption is Captain Marvel and the Carol Corps is going to be 616 Carol, and a bunch of Alternative Carols. Or the Aforce one is 616.

Limbo isn't part of the universe so its still around, right? Magik just stepping disk the Xmen there.

Those statues in the underground. They look more like giant fossilized corpses. The ledge that Alex stands under looks like parts of scale mail, the shape of the head is pretty human and the mask suggests Cap? And there's another one there with the chest blasted open and ribs poking out.


That's super creepy and I didn't notice it. Yea that head looks pretty much like Cap.

Strange and Carol had a weird moment in her 2000s solo series. They defeat the villain and they're in a power pose together and they have this "so are we gonna make out or what" thing. Doesn't go anywhere, but this is also the series were Carol sleeps with Wonderman.

Wonderman ; Marvel ladies perpetual sex mistake.

Strange is pretty amusing in New Avengers when Squirrel Girl and Wolverine are talking to each other about their history. He's the focus of the panels as he figures out what they're talking about.

Reading the first few volumes of essential Avengers it shows that the writers would create a character, and just keep pushing him, but it would never do anything. Black Knight felt like some fanfiction character because he'd swoop in and save Cap and the other actual Avengers.

I'm grabbing Deadpools Secret Secret Wars because the preview makes me think its modern Deadpool interacting with Early 80s Marvel, which just sounds amazingly fun.

I am glad I took the threads advice and grabbed Old Man Logan and Infinity Gauntlet. Both were awesome. I grabbed Inferno and Diaries, which I enjoyed, but I don't think Inferno can be a good story if its literally just Colossus trying to rescue Illyana over and over. I did like Scott as 90s Professor X though.

The Dani that Logan leaves the Hulk baby with, I assume that's Dani Moonstone?

Basically all the supervillians were like "wait there are a billion of us" and swapped archenemies around and killed all of superheroes except a few. Wolverine was tricked by Mysterio into killing all the X-men and made a vow of pacificism after that. Blind Hawkeye shows up and they undertake a cross country journey of adventure in which Logan's new found philosophy is seriously challenged. Ultimately he recants..

Important note, Emma Frost married DOOM to create a safe place for Mutants. Also, Symbiot T-rex.

Chris Sims talked about it on Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men and in he and Chad Bowers' original pitch for X-Men '92, they talked about sending them to all those '90s locales like Genosha and Madripoor and editorial nixed it, explaining that they're not on a whole planet, so I wonder if different editors are using different sized sections.

That interview makes me hate how long we have to wait for a print version. It just sounds amazingly fun.

The twins in Lilttle AvsX can't be the Maximoffs, there's already a Lil Scarlet Witch. I liked when she is pushing Lil Rogue and Rogue does not look up from her phone.

Years of future past was not bad. I enjoy the setting and I like how it tries to be in tune with the Claremont era. Rachael having her hound outfit was neat too.

Renew Your Vows was pretty meh. I like the idea of Spider-Man having to go outside his comfort zone to protect his family, but over all it fell flat.

So Deadpool Secret Wars has made Secret Shields canon.

I never read the original secret wars, so I assumed when I saw that the shields the action figures came with were something from the original series based on that.

Also, looks like Deadpool is stealing Colossus's girlfriend.

And yea, each realm of battleworld is blocked in by a giant wall, and you are not to leave your realm, or throw anything out of your realm based on what happened to Ms America. If you do, you get sent to the Shield. Looks like the Doom Thor Patrol is the only group that has permission to travel between realms.

The rule seems to be you can't leave your realm, its spelled out pretty clearly in A-force, but there's probably a million exceptions. Like MODOK isn't going to rock the boat, but a Wolverine running around? That's not something DOOM can let happen.

I have had this argument before, so, it's 1968:



Then the lovely 80s handbook written by megaspergs retconned it so that the solar energy actually only charges apertures in his eyes that access another dimension full of kinetic energy, because solar powered punchbeams is just completely unbelievable in physics, but DNA coding for solar powered stargates is actually how things could work in reality.

It felt kinda in character. Scott being "I got this guys" and rushing in to take out God Doom and getting ganked seemed like something he'd do. He has shown to put is faith in the Phoenix
Force before and that would make him feel invincible.

I liked A-force this week, I'm still curious about who the mystery girl is, though I still think its Black Mirror Kitty, just lots her memory.I guess She Hulk ended up in the Years of Future Past world? That was pretty good too. The Claremont level Colossus speech made my eyes gloss over though.

I'm actually kinda interested to find out if Osborne is actually being honest in Spiderverse, or he's going to use the Spider-People for something evil. He seemed honest when he showed them the web, which I assume is something that remains from the pre battleworld universe. The whole idea of Spiderverse is that they know somethings hinky with the world they live in, and I could see it being one of the centers of revolt against Doom.

I liked Captain Britain Spider-Man talking about everyones flaws and strengths during the fight at the start.

I think that the explosion was not just a city, but over a bunch of states. Remember there is a giant fissure that separates the Iron from the Blue. And we know the Iron is smaller with a larger population than the Blue so them fissure is probably somewhere along the Ohio valley.

Didn't they say Cloak teleported as many people as he could away before the explosion?

Also, Tony thinks Steve set the bomb, and vice versa, so there is a 3rd player involved who is probably responsible for the destruction.
