I liked the shots of the Hulks busting through the Triskelion. Ultimate Fury legit shook.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Is it bazillion clone Shang Chi? Because he wasn't in Time Runs Out enough.

It's his origin but even as someone who's been enjoying Before Time Runs Out, this felt like a weaker issue TBH.
2 things:
1) Would you guys rather the Secret Wars OT goes up on FCBD when Secret Wars #0 comes out (May 2) or with the release of SW1 (May 6)?

Oh shit you're right. It didn't even register.

Before! Get people prepped to go out on FCBD to get the issue.

My eyesight is not what it used to be. Which characters are you spotting?
Okay, one person there is not dead: Strange is there but he's supposed to be with Rabum Alal. And Starbrand and Hyperion died in battle against the Ivory Kings.

My eyes might be deceiving me, but is that Hyperion on the right hand side?
We don't know what happened to Strange. The other two though should be dead meat.
No, we do. No reason for him to die, not after the Rabum Alal reveal.

My bad. I misread the post I quoted as saying he was dead. My mistake.
I have failed this city.
Release of SW1. I'm about to start making some design ideas for the OT. If anyone has seen the World Cup OT last year, I want it to be as big as that.
Failing a city is small potatoes in the end times.
Isn't Manhattan the only part of 616 that remains on Battleworld?
If that's true then Spider-man will need a new Dare-lawyer for when JJJ blames him for the incursions and tries to sue him.

Namor's and Hyperion's arcs were the best things about A/N.A., but it's an embarrassment of riches, really. you got Steve's timetravel, everything related to Ex Nihilo and Abyss, the "i have pie" moment with Quang Tsi, on top of several DOOM TOO GOOD moments.
Plus Reed and half the iluminati trying to get into black swan's pants.

Doom demands children get a good nights sleep.
I love the Uncle Doom and Valeria relationship.

Definitely Steve's time jumping. I loved every interaction he had with Planet Ultron, Franklin and the three Kangs.
Doom's entire arc is a very close second. Starting from oblivious to the lynchpin of the apocalypse is something amazing even for Victor.
Oh and I can't forget about the whole Great Society thing, one of Doctor Strange's greatest moments.
This run man. This run.

Sue was having complications during Val's birth and Reed was unavailable. Doom helped deliver her with the condition that he would choose her name. He named her after a woman he once knew and put Val under his royal protection. Of course, he still tried to use her against the FF but that's a story that should be read.

Also, as shown with his relationship with Strange, Victor has no problems whatsoever with dealing with people of great talent or potential. He just has good reasons to think that Reed and several other Great Intellects are a bunch of useless dicks that are often in way over their head.
Valeria tends to agree.

Heck, before hudlin went all racist doom, this is how they used to interact

And it is so much cooler when you realize that Reed has to spend the rest if his life with a reminder that Doom was there for Sue when he couldn't be. Even when he isn't there, Doom is essentially rubbing it in Reed's face with how awesome he is.

He's been doing that for years with Ben Grimm. Victor can cure him. Reed can't.
Weird bit there is that Strange can also probably cure Grimm, and yet...

Reed can't or Reed won't? We all know Reed is an asshole.

Hyperion and Thor, God Bros at the end of time and space, fighting off an impossibly large number of omnipotent beings. Bonus points for not giving a fuck about their missing arm and eye.
Rereading through everything, I'm in the middle of time runs out, and I had totally missed that theme of Thor and Hyperion drinking together:
- in the Hyperion centric issue in the Savage Land, they discuss drinking and Hyperion is all like "I don't need to drinking, I'm totally straight edge".
- later in Avengers, during Infinity IIRC, Thor offer Hyperion to drink and he's all like "okay, brother".
- when Time Runs Out begins, they've started their awesome Godbeard club and are drinking together in the Savage Land, watching the kids and discussing how they're the only ones who can do what they will have to do.
- facing a legion of Beyonders, "we drank it all, brother".
There are so many good things about this run, but so far, this is the highlight for me. I'm still hoping for a "twenty seven minutes" moment like the one in FF, where everything came together, a 4 in flames was drawn in the sky, Doom fought mad Celestials on the bridge and adult Franklin bellowed "to me, my Galactus" (which still sounds ridiculously awesome).

So... is Steve back to his younger self or something? Otherwise that pic doesn't make a whole lotta sense.
Then again, superior stark uses liquid metal for a suit, so what-evs.

Nah he's using a special suit that was seen in AXIS before. He's still old.
Tony made that suit for him a super long time ago back when he previously had issues with the SSS. They brought it back after he became old.
