I don't even care anymore. The event started great, but has been kinda boring the past two issues. It's worn out Its welcome.

You mean they're finally going to finish this? I thought they'd never get around to that.

@elam1999: Yes. Penultimate means second to last. The final battle STARTS here, ends at 9.

Gotta love Alex Ross's covers. Hopefully we get to see some of the Ben vs Galactus inside the book. HIckman tends to gloss over the action and deal with the results/fallout of the action, but this is one that I would like to see some panel time dedicated to it.

It's frustrating that Secret Wars has experienced so many delays but if Hickman and Ribic need the time, I'm all for it. This event has been outstanding.

Hickman did not do himself any favors adding an extra issue onto this mini. The ending really has to be spectacular and satisfying because if its not, People will turn more so on the ANAD marvel universe.

I've loved Secret Wars thus far, and I cannot wait to see how it wraps up. I think Hickman and Ribic are gonna stick the landing.

If they were professionals (and not experiencing health or personal problems) they should have been able to produce they product according to the schedule.

I don't think so, I think no matter the quality the next big event (which will probably come out in a few months if not sooner) will sell. Events sell, The level of quality or being on time doesn't seem to matter.

For myself I don't really care that much anymore, to get to this big event they turned characters inside out and made them murderers. I'd be happy if the mu never came back, then again it already did so really there's no point in even finishing this. I'll fish it out of the 50 cent bins in a year or two and skim through it.

@atheistknowledge@the_stegman Agreed. The first four issues were exciting and left me wanting more. then #5 and #6 came along and were just...less appealing. For some reason.

Had such high hopes, was waiting for the trade, first five issues sounded good. It does start to kill the story/book when it falls behind dramatically.

reading some of the new numbers ones made me realize most of this isn't even going to matter. I pretty much lost interest with the delays anyway.

Nobody cares anymore, Marvel.

We're already over Secret Wars, and so are the rest of your books. Just post a synopsis about what was supposed to happen on your website, so we can all read it and go "Ah, that's what happened", and then never think about it again because it doesn't matter and we can get back to reading our favorite characters.

This is the most poorly handled event in comic book history.

Dear Marvel,

Releasing comics that take place in the new world (ANAD) created after your epic series meant to change everything (Secret Wars) completely ruins the momentum of the story. Even if it's a great last two comics, we already have the sequel. Please plan better next time.

For example it's sacred number of Tzeentch, God of Change. Well, at least in Warhammer. xD

@wurzel: Dude,u dont know how much i agree.It all looks to me like Secret Wars were made to just kill Cyclops with a nice way.If he doesnt make a comeback as Phoenix it would suck.I mean,Jean Grey as Phoenix Ressurected like,13 times .If Scott doesnt even one,i'll stalk and assassinate Hickman xD

This event has been outstanding and the tie-ins have also been great (except for a few). Even knowing that the All-New Universe has started to some degree I am anxiously waiting to see how Battleworld crumbles.

Yup. The fact that we've already started seeing stuff from afterwards, in the new universe or whatever, also doesn't help matters at all. (Never sure why either Marvel or DC does things like this, shooting their own events in the foot so to speak)
