I hope not. Marvel Zombies are at their worst when taken seriously.

It could simply be another Earth where Age of Ultron was never prevented just like there could be another Earth where Civil War is still ongoing/ended differently.
In Hickman We Trust. Still it's just a theory we might actually get Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I thought that was the whole point of the 8 month time skip.

I'm willing to bet the incursion story wraps up soonish, the Secret Wars will be the overspill from that. Kinda like how Infinity was the prelude to the incursion storyline.
Yea the Incursion plot is the most logical thing to spin another Civil War off of, they've already split into 2 camps with cap and tony at odds with one another. But that picture they're using to market it is clearly the iron man and spidey of the original Civil War... so who knows.

ComicsGAF official theory is that this Events Megamix thing (No More Mutants, Civil War, Age of Ultron, Marvel Zombies etc) will perhaps be some multiversal shenanigans - maybe a multiversal war once the immediate threat of the incursions is over.
I don't think they're literally going to re-do these events, I think they've done this as a joke to troll the fans a bit.

I'd bet the opposite. Rather than "wrapping up" the incursion storyline escalates beyond just Avengers and New Avengers, involving the entire MU and becoming "secret war".

I don't think a reboot is happening. We've seen time and again (usually from DC) that reboots inevitably cave to fan demand to bring back the status quo, leaving the universe more complicated than if the publisher had done nothing at all. Marvel has made this very clear with explicitly making " the death of Spiderman", " the death of wolverine", " the unworthy Thor" and "cap is geriatric" limited time events. These changes are not meant to stick and you'll be back to normal eventually.
Now, SIMPLIFYING the MU? Different story. The ultimate universe has long outlived its usefulness and needs to go. There's no reason for dozens of different hyperions. The abstract tier is a mess of cubes and gauntlets and heralds and m-bodies.
Getting rid of all that and cleaning house has advantages, and fans are less prone to riot.
New Avengers 25
So I guess smart Hulk is back? Reed rocking that beard. Definitely a slower paced issue, but one with enough bits and pieces. Fucking hell at that Captain Brittain bit. Marvel is not fucking around. And what the hell at Sue: she's mad as hell. Loved Reed's face when she told Cho her husband should be in jail.
You know
the Captain Britians are slightly better then GLs, but they still get slaughtered every 10 years or so.
Probably until its handwaved after revealing that Sue
is under the influence of Malice. Maybe.
It ain't Banner, at least that's what he says and he definitely does not like being called Hulk. He goes by Doc Green and has an entirely different personality from the rest of his previous incarnations. You can read about it in the current Hulk on-going.

This series always leaves me feeling as if I've missed out on a lot of the tie-in issues. I'm basically left thinking" "Why are some of those characters there and how did they get there?!!"
But I suppose that is to be expected when it messes around with time jumps.

yeah but at least thats spread out between multiple dimensions and realities , GL's get face raped and EVERYONE in the galaxy knows it every 5 months.

I told you. All that alternate universe stuff is on death watch.
That spoiler just pulls the rug right out from under "spider verse" though.
Well, it's not like the other Captain Britians cared about Spiderman Captain Britian.
Well the spider-verse stuff seems to be taking place before the 8 month time jump, so I don't think it's affecting it at all.
It is not a new story arc unless 3279 GLs die in the first 4 pages. Why doesn't Merlin and his daughter ever do anything?
Oh. Do you have a short summary on that maybe? I'm not much of a Hulk reader (not since Pak left) so that's a new bit of info for me

Take a closer look at the top of the cover.
New Avengers and Avengers are 8 months ahead of the Marvel U. Probably in part to let Hickman finish up without getting bogged down by AXIS.

you missed what I was trying to say.
if brian braddock is the last captain britain, then that means Spider-UK fails and doesn't survive spider-verse. not really surprising as i expect pretty much everyone to die during that event, but STILL

I guess so, they should find a way to kill some Green Lantern's in this story arc ...just for consistency.
Was there one on the "This is not the Justice League" Justice League?

Yeah. And then you had Doc Spectrum from Supreme Power getting murdered with the rest in panel background.
Well it's not like Captain Britians have a very good survival rate in the first place, so big surprise.
Yeah she got blasted by Black Bolt.

that settles that
They'd have just been steamrolled by the builders. You can only job so many times before it gets old.

They should just bring back Richard rider.
Nova Corps are even worse then GLs
No way do all these events happen in the same month, it definitely has something to do with what Hickman is up to.
Devil donosaur had nothing to do with planet hulk, and as that appears to be a planet of hulks, id say it definetely has something to do with it.
Except for Marvel Zombies, seems more like Broken Time than universal collapse. Still not sure if Broken Time relates to Hickman.
Speaking of Broken Time, is Galactus still stuck in

Ah, yes, of course.
Time Runs Out should finish before Secret Wars which starts May of next year. Since these are all happening in Summer 2015 people are speculating that this has something to do with Hickman's saga rather than each of them being their own unique event.
Some theories I've read say it could be A) more Incursion events like maybe the Zombie Illuminati has to blow up a Planet Ultron as part of Secret Wars or B) Time gets seriously ruined and these past events aren't just retconned or rebooted but utterly wrecked like Planet Hulk is now about Captain America and Devil Dinosaur fighting a literal world full of Hulks instead of what it once was.
Again it's all guess work until Marvel stops messing with us. No one really knows what any of this means.
Well given the name 'Secret Wars' we could be looking at a universal Highlander scenario where some kind of Galactic God Figure (say the living tribunal) decides that only one universe can survive the multiversal apocalypse and they then send their champions forward to fight for the right of survival.
