While I enjoyed Spider Island #3 with its Agent Venom and the Monster Avengers super fun time
, I'm a bit sad that Mayday just gets this little back-up feature.
and I'm sure there was somebody super into seeing MJ and the others transform from spider monsters to lizard monsters

"Rune Thor" is the name that refers to Thor when he gained the Odinforce, as well as an understanding of the norse runes. Happened around the time of "Avengers Disassembled."
That Thor surpassed odin, stopped the cycle of ragnarok and defeated "those who sit above in shadow" who had been manipulating the asgardians for millenia.
easily the most powerful variant of Thor.
For the purposes of secret wars though, he's just another Thor. doesn't seem to be anywhere near the power level he was in 616.

Seems pleasant.
Only Deadpools Secret Wars and Star-Lord and Kitty had their last issues, IIRC
Master of Kung Fu as well.

It's a last days book but damn, Ms. Marvel this week was great again, beautiful issue. I love the characterization and how much GWW manages to get out of the Secret Wars #1 context.
I've been enjoying it so far but what they pulled this week
Seconded.
I've been enjoying it so far but what they pulled this week
is so elegantly meta. A Secret Invasion book masquerading as another book is a really nice twist.
The fact it's a better series than both its inspirations helps a lot too, and Yu really fits the tone of the book.

Siege 003:
Is that supposed to be 616 Thanos? With all the duplicates running around I can never be sure these days.
Yes, ties into the main book.
Apparently Regent was the only guy in the know. Guess he kept the public ignorant of Doom?

So, I find it interesting that at least three of the Secret Wars books
. Old Man Logan
. In A-Force,
. In Siege,
Now, maybe, and I'm just throwing it out there, but maybe the next major plot point in SW is that
.
Just spitballing.
have ended with something devastating happening to/about to happen involving the Shield
fights his way through and over it
Loki breaks it down
the wall is about to be destroyed (supposedly) by the arrival of 616 (assumedly) Thanos.
the Shield breaks causing hell on earth, which distracts Doom in some way
Just spitballing.
Log line for Secret Wars #6 is "The Final War", so yeah, that's definitely what's happening. I thought the end of Secret Wars #5 made that pretty clear all on its own.

Planet Hulk had a bad twist, too.
Who ended up on the Shield? Just Thanos? I thought someone else did, too.

Renew Your Vows would be good if it's still available, thanks.
Just Thanos. And Secret Wars #5 and Siege #3 seem to happen concurrently because Thanos gets to the Shirld at the very end of SW #5, but he also doesn't show up in Siege #3 until the last page.

Sounds about right
I would like Secret Wars #5.

So far I'm not really enjoying these companion books. Quite the drag waiting for the SW to resolve itself.

So, uh... what was supposed to be the payoff for Korvac Saga? Because, not being familiar with the original Korvac arc, that sure looked like it ended on a whimper.
"oh yeah, our mayor
"oh yeah, our mayor
was a borderline god and we kinda can remember the stars now. /end"
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
I think korvacs insanity allowed him to remember the universe before battleworld, which is a nono for doom. So he had the lands wiped out. Before he died he sent the memories of the pre battleworld into the remaining members who became guardians of the universe
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Jesus, this shit isn't going to end until like March of next year is it?

Yup, because ANAD isn't getting pushed back.
Seriously, what's up with Ribic? Is he the reason why it's taking so long?
BKatastrophe

Nobody knows.
Ribic is currently trying to find a way to incorporate Goldballs into the story. Hickman just won't back on it.
The rumours are not really, or at least not entirely.
It seems to be a joint clusterfuck between Marvel's editorial demands on work that has already been completed (and them doing the timing exceptionally badly), Hickman perhaps not responding at full tilt (but I'm not sure I would in that situation either) and Ribic perhaps not being able to pivot quite so quickly to accommodate all this.
