The Worthy, The Raft & Juggernaut- Fear Itself (Spoilers)

I just have two very quick points to make about Fear Itself... and a small prediction. 
 
There are spoilers below, so read at your own discretion.
 
The first is that I feel that the tie-ins are sort of spoiling what is currently happening with the Worthy.  For example, Iron Man 2.0 #5-6 have Absorbing Man & Titania in China claiming Absorbing Man's hammer, but we already knew he was getting one and that he would be terrorizing Dubai from the Avengers Academy tie-in that came out a week earlier.  Another example comes from the newest Fear Itself Youth in Revolt #3 where Juggernaut is rampaging Las Vegas... I can safely tell you that he is not to be defeated in Vegas since he makes it over to San Francisco in Uncanny X-Men #540 tie-in and both of these came out the exact same week.  Who knows where he is in the newest Thunderbolt #160... (I haven't read that yet...).   
 
Which brings me to my next point; Juggernaut is being overused.  While we may have the Thing fighting Red Hulk over at Avengers #14, and the aforementioned future battle of Hank Pym and Absorbing Man in Avengers Academy, I have yet to know what Hulk has done before arriving with Thing at the battle against Thor in Fear Itself #4. Sure, there are solicits of him and the vampires getting into it, but does that happen before or after the battle with Thor (which we don't know what the results of that will be...).  Also, what of Attuma (who fought Alpha Flight and is currently in The Deep...) and the Grey Gargoyle (whose only "battle" was with Tony Stark).  I don't even know what Titania has done that has been of importance.  I think there is too much happening by different creative teams that is certainly sort of hindering cohesive storytelling.  Since this is my first "event", maybe this is something I should get used to.  
 
That brings me to my prediction... 
 
I know how Osborn escapes The Raft to mess with Spider-Man's life in future arcs.  Isn't it obvious? Since the Raft was pretty much torn to shreds when Juggernaut's hammer arrived...  I don't know if creators will ever reference this, but I'd almost bet a lot on it.  
 
Anyways, that's that... please comment it up with your thoughts.
