I actually thought, from a narrative standpoint, we got a bit in this issue. It answers who is going after Rabum Alal and partially what happened to Doom and Molecule Man. Granted, a bit of that was spoiled in the previews, but I have a feeling that if one was just reading the story, it's a pretty interesting issue. I've got a friend who has only read this Avengers/New Avengers run. I'll let folks know his reaction when he reads this.
Stark escaped (in New Avengers #29, the Illuminati come across his broken cage.)

Yea, I think Val built the Library and it's just a bunch of Bridges (she mentioned she has become good at building them). Franklin also mentioned that the problem is Reed, so the fact that Ultimate Reed has something to do with this is not suprising. Agree that Val and Franklin are sill pulling the strings.

I'm fine with the reveal, and with the pacing. A long slow burn is fine with me.
But I wonder: where was it first said that Rabum Alal was new character? Did Hickman actually say that or has it always been just a fan rumor?
Good. Good revelation, decent suspense, we'll all be looking forward to getting more details.
I'm still certain the original Beyonder is involved somehow, in spite of him being dismissed as a ineffectual child form.
Nice to see Owen doing his thing, unlimited resources in a human frame. I hope Battleworld has an Owen vs Sentry area, so the Senster can get his comeuppance.
