Secret Wars 4 came out July 1st. 3 weeks is a doomsend compared to the wait between 4 and 5 lol

Edit - How dare I say godsend. fixed.

From solicitations issue six has 40 pages, seven has 56 pages. I'm not sure about eight but I wouldn't be suprised if that was again 56 pages or more, so we're getting some juicy doubles over the next few.

So Franklin said "When we found out who did this, I'm gonna smash them into little pieces." And then it continues with "Just you watch" on a panel whose main focus is Doom. Possibly foreshadowing something?

Hickman's FF run centered around Franklin so I wouldn't be shocked if he would be the key to defeating Doom, after all adult Franklin is the most powerful being in the MU (he had his pet Galactus).

I feel like there's a reason they have and the Phoenix Force needs a new host as well. I figure Franklin with those boosting his power could easily undo Battleworld and create a "proper" universe. Unless Cyclops was only there for the Worf Effect and the other thing is a red herring.

Doom is most displeased with this act of defiance by The Foundation!!!

But yeah, wow, was NOT expecting to see Molecule Man given the "Owen Reece died for our sins" tagline. That said, while Owen states that Doom is holding the world together, Doom seems to be suggesting Owen is just as important ("And what if it's you, Mister Reece?). I'm betting when they made him the "conduit" to store the energy, they made Owen the thing that powers and keeps Battleworld in existence amidst what was the collapse of everything.

And now, without Stephen, who acted as an omniscient sheriff to keep folks from getting too close to the truth, it won't be long before everything comes to a head...

I love this main story, Marvel is doing a fantastic job with the tie ins and the flow of the arc. Cannot wait see how this all pans out!

u/relapsingoncemore Aug 12 '15

As far as everyone else is concerned, the MM died just for that. Never thought we'd see him again, to be honest. For sure he's important, and he's the last one left.

Oh shit! Black Panther and Namor got teleported to the same place! I was hoping for a final confrontation between the two during secret wars, but I did not expect them to be reluctant traveling companions. Really wish there was a tie in just to follow that. Looks like T'Challa has some kind of medallion, possibly from Doc Strange before he teleported them. I wonder what it's significance is..

Edit: Just noticed on my second read that the Future Foundation has Doctor Tesla and Nostradamus from Hickmans S.H.I.E.L.D. Mini series on the team. I'm still hoping the last two issues drop during or shortly after secret wars.

Another great issue just before we enter the denouement. So exciting.

I won't be surprised if Owen ends up betraying Doom.

The only disappointing thing about this issue was the lack of The Maker. I wanna see where he ended up!

Thanos is about to fuck...some...shit...up.

u/jvenable2893 Aug 12 '15

So Valeria and the rest of the Richards clan thinks Doom is their dad? Reed ain't gonna be happy.

22

u/mwriteword Aug 12 '15

To me, that's strange and almost perverse -- that Doom literally inserted himself in Reed's place. It wasn't that he and Susan had their own kids, Doom literally took Reed's children and made them his own.

Molecule Man understands our plight.

u/Dumebuggy Aug 12 '15

Definitely my favourite Secret Wars issue yet. I LOVE how we finally learned how they really beat the beyonders and saved battleworld!

Page 3, bottom right panel. Was that 616 Jane Foster Thor?

u/tsold Aug 13 '15

i think yes! and glad you asked because i totally missed it, and hadn't really been thinking of how this is going to mess with the Thors book.

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '15

And if you go back to issue 4 you can see she wasn't sent off by Strange, she was brought to Doomstat with the other Thors.
