Ok, here goes:

--I like the New Thor and Cap, but really wish they'd held off on introducing them until after Secret Wars. Introducing them before Secret Wars meant that Steve and Odinson had to...

Yeah, some stuff there drags. I think part of it is that some elements introduced prior to Infinity got spun off into Avenger's World, meaning the overall structure of the middle there was changing...

When you do, read it twice. The first time you'll probably love everything up to Wheels Within Wheels. It's excellent spy craft and character work. Really top flight stuff. A lot of folks read...

Hickman had a lot more freedom with Fantastic Four and was essentially unrushed. So his run on that from issue 570 out to 604 is a masterpiece. It really shows what he's capable of. Secret...

I don't know if you need to read Secret Warriors first, but it is published first. I'd definitely read SHIELD before you read F4 as F4 uses some SHIELD plot threads.

Google Omnipotence and Omniscient and you will see this is not nearly as straightforward as you imply here. You could will yourself into knowing everything with Omnipotence, but you still won't be...

I don't know all the trades that collect it but....

Never understood this complaint at all. Omnipotence is absolutely not the same as Omniscient. They are in no way the same. They do not magically imply the other.

At this point, I'm going to be honest and say I have no idea how it all works then. A timeline reset where the Incursions do not happen would fix a lot of the issues with Original Sin and AXIS...

No kidding. I wouldn't mind having that retconned out, if that is indeed how it works here.

I started to suspect very early into Secret Wars that this run would not add anything further to the Avengers run which means that run literally ends with Steve and Tony trying to kill each other at...

Anyone's rankings of his various Marvel Runs change now Secret Wars is finished?

If anything, my opinion of his Avengers run went down.

I think that point could be massaged into working out though. The Builders are a multiversal civilization. If survivors of other realities know about the incursions happening, then they would know....

Fairly sure it's been said elsewhere that Battleworld did indeed survive all this. But even if it didn't, I'm finding it hard to care that much. Folks that read Age of Apocalypse as it was coming...

Restoring is the wrong word. Rebuilding is more correct. They're using Franklin's ideas to create and Owen's powers to anchor the new universes. That is also something foreshadowed by the F4/FF...

I've had more time to think about this and I'm still landing on the idea that New Avengers as a whole "doesn't happen" in the new timeline. That's the hook, new timeline.

There are no incursions...

The Beyonders took down the Cosmic Powers and the Universal Avengers squad. Doom took them down after time travel and a plan spanning decades. I don't think that counts as easily being swept aside....

I suspect that folks that remember the incursion will be survivors of the old multiverse or Battleworld.

I get that happening off camera though as its one of the big twists of Doom's plan and explains the rebellious Black Swans.

I was thinking yesterday about the Fantastic Four while running the snowblower (Winter is here) and it hit me that the F4 were The Flagship book back in the day because so much of the world building...

As I said above, while Avengers is clearly the lead in to Secret Wars, Secret Wars is also NOT the end of his Avengers. That book ends the way it ends: Cap and Tony trying to kill each other as the...

Tom B. has said there were no ANAD titles whose announcements were held back because of Secret Wars, but honestly I don't believe him. I think we'll see a new F4/FF book announced soon. Secret Wars...

That's certainly my read of it. I can see Infinity happening as the Builders realize that instead of Incursions you have Earth as the center of multiversal expansion and get pissed about it. But...

Mistype on my part. I meant to say before he was going to kill T'Challa he realized it was a distraction and left. Fixed up above.

Fixed. I did not mean to imply that but you're right, it does read that way.
