Just one book for me this week, Weirdworld #2.

It really was. You can see him starting to piece together that something isn't right. Seeing him interact with the different domains is interesting too.
Unless things changed with this week's books (or some of the previous ones I missed), I don't think we know where any of the survivors ended up. Thanos is south of the wall based on hints from the Siege and Solicitation art.

Old Man Logan had some absolutely terrific sorrentino art. Loved the way the a lot of the pages were constructed. Getting very strong Divine Comedy vibes.
E for Extinction was legit unpredictable. Can develop into quite something.
Marvel Zombies had the best modok acronym in a very long while, and Elsa remains #bestheroine
Future Imperfect was meh-ish.
Weirdworld. Best thing this week. By a Very. Big. Margin. Perfect from beginning to end.
Loki is runner-up for first place. Straight outta vertigo's golden times.

I'm rooting for the Maker because this version of Reed is the best version, IMHO. We need the Maker wrecking shit. Let him end up in the same area the Ultimates are.
Old Man Logan 3
Logan has to think he's dead
because he keeps running into corpses. Those symbiotes are going to claim OML as host only to find out their future sucks and they need to jump into a volcano. Was that the ultimate version of Boom Boom?
Where's Ultimate Kitty Pryde, Wolverine's son, Johnny Storm, and the rest of the ultimate mutants?

Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
Could've sworn I saw Maker in one of the issues over the last 2 weeks.
Maybe it's me conflating the post Secret Wars stuff though.
Spoilers for today...
Quill in Star Lord and Kitty Pryde is 616.
I do wonder how much time is passing on Battleworld.
Holy shit-you're right. I didn't even realize that. Has to be intentional.
wait... what? The symbiotes are not from a past iteration of OML. Or from any certain domain. Besides, those symbiotes you saw at the end of OML #3 are in the Deadlands, they're zombies. It can't get much worse than being the cannibalistic undead.
About Boom Boom, that's the AoA (Age of Apocalypse) version of Boom Boom. @the Ultimate characters you described: they'll probably be in Ultimate End.

Wait what?
So Star Lord and Kitty Pryde takes place directly after the SW issue where they all get teleported?
Not instantly, apparently some time has passed since Quill's been separated from the rest of the group. He got work as a singer in Manhattan and sings Disney songs. Everyone loves him.
I admit I liked the book until I
was reminded of the hamfisted relationship Quill and Pryde had.

Whaddayamean "his flesh"?
Weirdworld was perfect, easily the book of the week. Old Man Logan and the Loki finale were also great.
and no, I didn't see that ending in E is for Extinction coming at all, but who could?
Every day that goes by I'm looking more and more forward to the Al Ewing future in All New All Different Marvel.

Old Man Logan is kinda interesting, but it seems like they're using him to tour some of the more interesting realms.

Maybe Black Panther will show up in Civil War?
I imagine Spidey and Panther will stick with Reed, both are honorary members of the FF after all.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
that would make sense.
he was on the chapter 2 spread, when we know that a panther died. but at the same time, why would he get involved?

I guess I'll pick it up too then.
EDIT: Yup it was good. Damn I'm up to 27 tie ins now.
This Week's Secret Wars books
1602: Witch Hunter Angela #2
Age of Ultron vs Marvel Zombies #2
Deadpool's Secret Secret Wars #3
MODOK Assassin #3
Thors #2
X-Men 92 #2
Another lighter week. AoU vs Zombies and Thors for me. Maybe MODOK, but I wasn't a huge fan of issue #2.
The wait until SW #5 is painful. Two more weeks!

Thors is all I need.

I was shocked that this was good.
I still haven't read my comics from two weeks ago.
Ditto. The raw police brutality.
Yeah, realized it was more world building.
32 years...figure by #5 of SW itself that Doom probably implanted false memories of everyone.
I caught that too.

Siege brought up a similar thing

So is Star Lord & Kitty Pryde the only title so far to focus on one of the original survivors? Or is my memory letting me down? I've subbed most of the tie ins,

It was. Definitely my favourite SW tie-in.

Thors was great again, that eulogy was amazing.
It furthered what we've seen over the last few weeks, with

Odinson sounding like he's our guy, the dude who died fighting the Beyonders.
The phrasing was vague enough that it could be another of Aaron's red herrings but if it's him, it raises a number of questions about the scope of Doom's reconstruction.
At this point, it's entirely possible that on the other side of this, everyone will remember their 616 lives and that will be that. IIRC, that's pretty much what happened to the New Mutants in Secret Wars II. They died and later on, the Beyonder just brought them back to life.
