I enjoyed the issue.
Notice that it answered one mystery - we knew the Black Swam had seen something in Doom's inner chamber that made her betray him. We never knew what - some people assumed it was just the time machine we were shown.
This issue actually answers what it was: while the Swam's religion was built around killing the Molecule Men, Doom had actually been capturing and altering them right inside his inner chamber. Seeing a collection of their enemy within her god's inner room is what made the Black Swam betray Doom.
It also explains how Doom killed the Beyonders - in a very Doom-ish move, he used their own bomb against them.
I liked the issue. I have the feeling we will see the conclusion to many of those storylines in tie-ins, and that many tie-ins will be disrupted by people from the rafts suddenly appearing out of nowhere (see Thanos in the Shield for an example of both), but the main event itself continues to be interesting.
(Oh, and I loved the S.H.I.E.L.D. cameos. I wish the final issues were released already, though, and that Marvel would follow it up with a collected hardcover.)

Well, we know Star-Lord in that Star-Lord/Kitty Pryde book.
I agree the MM weapon made the most sense for the Swan revolution but in NA he told strange the weapon was based on the beyounders being linear and not able to time travel and that doesn't fit with the MM bomb so it seems like a plot hole
Comic reviews answering the question "Is it good?" every Wednesday here.
If there is still a Molecule Man alive, he will still cause the death of an Earth in 25 years, so he could be a potential threat unless you kill him.
DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!
It's not beyond strange to conjure up a love potion between them
It's not the lack of action i'm disappointed in, it's the lack of spotlight on OTHER characters too.
Doom's taking up 80% of it in the main book. It's not so bad if it was a Doctor Doom: Secret Wars book..which is'nt the case here
What we used to call life has very little worth these days. Welcome to the very edge.
