Now that Secret Wars#2 establishes a "restating story from nothing" style, Ultimate End fits that formula comfortably. We had no idea what was going on in SW2, so why is UE such a surprise to some people? I like the dialogue is instructing the reader as to the situation the amalgums Manhattan is in. What I don't know is why they are fixated on the Tear. Are they disgruntled that the two worlds are mixed together, or, did they think the Tear should shunt one team back somewhere else? They don't remmember 616 or 1610 anymore, because Spidey is comfortable in the amalgum. I wonder what they expect to happen next? Looking at that dialogue between Stark and Cho, they don't mention things like616 or 1610. They just woke up one day after the Incursion, and remembered the Tear event and put 2 and 2 together, thinking the White out explosion was going to be noticed by Doom. The Avengers just had a meeting because they were also concerned Doom was coming here because of the tear burst. I think all of them existed in amalgum Manhattan all the time.
