  • I’m referring to the House of M universe where Logan was a shield agent and Magneto was some kind of royalty etc. Obviously the stuff in the first issue where they had Scarlet Witch in Genosha and the resulting consequences of the story arc (“No more mutants”) took place in 616, so I didn’t bother specifying

    Arguably, since it “replaced” 616 for a bit, you might not consider it an alternate reality, but it’s as much alternate reality as Age of Apocalypse was. AoA happened the same way - it replaced 616 for a bit until they did the Bishop going into the M’Kraan crystal thing to restore 616, but they later showed AoA universe to continue as an “alternate reality”

    In any case, whether you consider it an alternate reality or not, it’s definitely not a reboot in any way, shape, or form

  • Posted on r/comicbooks: [SPOILERS][Discussion] Hickman’s Avengers / New Avengers run discussion (Spoilers ahoy!)

    Now that it’s wrapped up, is there a clean summary of everything that’s been going on in Hickman’s run so far?

    I think I understand most of it, but I was confused with some things in both of the last issues:

    New Avengers - it is mentioned that Molecule Man is the fuse used by the Beyonders to bring about the end of universes. In that case, why are there incursions? And if Doom had been able to kill at least a thousand Molecule Men, shouldn’t there be at least a thousand universes that survive?

    Avengers - Steve says that Tony knew about it all from the beginning. How does he know this? How did Tony know? And when the incursion is imminent, they’re preparing for escape as if there was no hope of survival. But isn’t it that between 616 and 1610, one of those universes will survive the last incursion?

    Feel free to discuss anything else about the run!
