Can't fucking wait! I hope for his/her debut she/he kills Strange. That would be amazing.

I like the theory that Rabum Alal is
whatever is in the Galactus Seed from Fantastic Four #600. In another universe, the Galactus Seed hatched, which meant that "everything would end much sooner."
Not very likely with a Doctor Strange movie in 2016. Marvel will start hyping the character later this year.

I am almost done with Hickman's Fantastic Four stuff. I am past the point where they fight off the Celestials and the awesome issue of Spidey and Johnny Storm as roommates
, but in addition to the Galactus seed part, I think this might come into play:
While her comments rang true somewhat for how Franklin and them saved everyone from the Celestials, the comment about all reality collapsing into a single time stream makes me think Valeria and Franklin could still come into play near the end. But what happened to Franklin in all of the stuff going on? I remember Reed talking about sacrifices in the last issue of New Avengers and we saw Franklin strapped to a machine. I dunno.
But that panel stuck out to me when thinking of where things are headed.
Annihilus sitting on a toilet was not an image I was ready for.

Yeah they're has been some speculation regarding that panel recently about whether she's talking about Secret War or not. If all this ends with the death of Franklin and Val I can't imagine a more devastating blow to the Richards family.I am almost done with Hickman's Fantastic Four stuff.

So, I finally finished Hickman's Fantastic Four and FF runs. Wonderful stuff. And I particularly enjoyed this moment later on:
And I might still be reaching, but these two moments did seem to be foreshadowing a bit with what has been going down in Time Runs Out.
The Wizard seeing a man of half light and half dark. Alluding to the showdown of the two Reeds, and that 616 Reed will fail in the end?
Future Franklin saying goodbye to his parents. The comment about things that are coming, and untimely things. He could still be in play as part of what Rabum Alal is.
How long until that issue hits and we finally know?

Lol god I love Hickman so much with his foreshadowing I am so glad the man got the chance to tell his story the fact that the seeds of it were planted in his previous works only makes it that more epic.So, I finally finished Hickman's Fantastic Four and FF runs.

Also love that Franklin quote "The Universe is Sentient" and who shows up in Hickman's Avengers but the physical manifestation of the Universe herself.
Stark and Reed tried using the infinity gauntlet for reasons and they screwed it up. Lots of Hickman references and alternate versions of heroes which sounds familar.
Also this Phil Noto variant cover for NA 30 is killer:
Can't see the variant.
Should be fixed now.

No one likes his jokes. Whatever story it was where Doom corrected Spidey on his Star Trek reference, and then Spidey went around telling everyone Doom was a big nerd.
I love it.
Bendis.
Wolverine broke the timestream trying to prevent Age of Ultron ever happening. It was a shit story.
That sounds amazing. Is there a scan of it by any chance?

AXIS is about to derail me though. I'm probably still gonna be behind when Secret Wars starts. I'm trying.
Because I want to. I'm reading a lot of things not related to this.

Age of Ultron was mentioned on this very page and makes Fear Itself and Axis look like goddamn masterpieces.

*shudder* Age of Ultron was so bad. I am more scared than ever to try Fear Itself and Axis now. Not that I was ever inclined to try them, but this frightens me even more.
Axis was worse than Age of Ultron for me. Axis destroyed the momentum of Uncanny X-Men which was good for a while, and shit up a bunch of books via crossovers in the process. Age of Ultron felt inconsequential the whole time, but at least it didn't really disrupt the rest of Marvel's line.

The worst thing about Age of Ultron is that I have to convince customers at work daily not to read it. So many people pick up the trade wanting to read it because of the upcoming movie by the same name.
Sadly, I cannot convince them to order the upcoming Kurt Busiek/George Perez omnibus because of the price, but they won't experience Ultron Unlimited then. They need to experience that if they want an awesome Ultron story.

I was going to suggest the vol.2 trade of this particular run and then I checked its availability. They should print an Ultron Unlimited trade ASAP.
It's amazing how many defining arcs Busiek has written. This, the Kang Dynasty and Avengers Forever are really up there.

That plot thread is still unresolved isn't it? Only Wolverine and Sue Storm know the real truth that there meddling with time caused the time stream rupture

I joked before about it being evil alt Franklin Richards, but after reading Hickman FF I don't think so.
Maybe Doom made sweet love to the Galactus seed or something.

According to Hickman it's a completely new character so...yeah can't wait to see how the New Avengers #31 plays.
Well I've definitely reread a good bit of the story, which is satisfying in its own way when you go back and see exactly what was foreshadowed years ago.
Plus its exciting to be here for reactions and discussions to the story as it unfolds issue to issue, speaking of...
New Avengers 30 is out tomorrow.
Spider-Britain no!!!!
I might have to pickup Avengers World 19 & 20 if they're going to give me more details about all those Incursions we didn't get to see the Cabal handle.
You knew this was coming!
You knew this was coming!
He's still alive.
I mean I haven't got a single one yet but more of Thanos/Incursions is something I can't pass up.
Wait what? So Brian isn't the last Captain Britain left?
Perhaps he forgot that this story is 8 months after whatever Slott is currently doing.
