This is not a place of honor

    My problem with Spidey was that the plot was essentially over before the issue started, and this was mostly just going through the obligatory fight scene to seal the deal. There wasn't really a big reveal or twist in it, so it was just a matter of hitting the required plot points to complete the story. It will probably read a lot better in the trade.

    I have to say I'll be happy when Captain Marvel gets back to Earth where she belongs, so that she can have the crossover with Ms. Marvel that everyone is waiting for. The spacey stuff is a decent enough story, but it's not really what I'm looking for in a Captain Marvel book right now.

    I'm not sure what you mean about the All new X-Men Ultimate crossover arc being out of order, since this was the final part of that story, and they were back home at the end of it. Or did you mean that the Black Vortex crossover is going to run late?

    I'm slightly perplexed how many comics are in the middle of big extended stories right now at Marvel, given that we are now two or three issues away from Secret Wars and the absurd theme park that is Battleworld.

    I mean ignoring things like how Carol is out in space and simultaneously regularly appearing in Avengers, Thor hasn't even got as far as giving its title character an origin, or introducing her to the wider cast of her own title, let alone get her phone number on SHIELD's speed dial. Is this title going to happily putter along at its own pace, six months or so behind everything else? I'm really enjoying the new Thor, but it feels like the story has barely started before it has this epic reboot hanging over it.

    The identity of the current wielder of Mjolnir is supposed to be revealed in issue #8.

    My current guess is that it's Tarene, aka Thor Girl from the Jurgens run. I've seen suggestions that it's Jane Foster or Roz Solomon, but neither would've been able to pick the hammer off the moon's surface without a lot of help and a spacesuit left behind.
