Spoilers ahead. 
 (I mean, not too many because most of their post Secret Wars titles dropped months ago, but still spoilers). 
 Well. My first thoughts going into the last four issues was that this whole event should have been three issues shorter. Not only did it drag on for ages, but the main Secret Wars issues also had several delays. The tie-ins finished before the main issues but the main issues were still way off schedule, and now we have issue 9 to finally finish the damn event after their new post Secret Wars titles started months ago. What a publishing disaster. 
 In terms of the story, it wasn't the worst. There were several nods to the old Secret Wars events, and there were some interesting tie-ins but the whole thing felt very melodramatic. I liked the build up to Secret Wars through New Avengers and Avengers so much better than I liked the actual event itself. What really killed it for me was the end now that it has finally been revealed. 
 To put it really simply, they defeat Doom, and somehow manage to erase the whole event, throwing everyone, including Miles Morales, back in time before Marvel Now began their Secret Wars plots. The Earth is safe, no one died, and Miles Morales is the sole survivor of the Ultimate Universe. 
 I have to admit, I laughed. A lot. Because it's ridiculous. All of that to have none of it happen. All of the life or death circumstances, the battles, and betrayal, ALL GONE. What an absolute waste of two years. It was the most anti-climatic conclusion I've ever read in the Marvel universe, and that's really saying something. 
 What I loved about the Secret Wars prequel was how dire the circumstances were. They tried so hard to save their world without losing their humanity in the process, and I loved that tension. I loved watching them battle with morality, especially since none of it mattered in the end. Everything still died. 
 But this? What a cop-out. No one dies. Reed Richards figures out a way to restore the universes one at a time, so all of that prior angst is gone. We get Miles Morales, and I'm happy about that because Miles is such a great character, but I feel like my time was wasted. The event itself didn't have the same drastic tension that the prequels did, and that's a disappointment. If all they wanted to do was bring in Miles, they could have figured out a much easier way to do it. I haven't started the new titles yet, so I haven't seen how Secret Wars affects those, but I don't have high hopes.
