WOW. That's a lot of stuff! Get your moneys worth in quantity alone.
FUN Prev Page. Remind me where we learn Olympia is in Antarctica???
So, aaaall these years of Skrull Empire have resulted after multiple pantheons were decimated by this race? Hmmph! That's a big retcon and ability of a race (aided by their gods most likely). And to think the Kree were on par with skrulls means they must have ludicrous victories in scale that havent been told. Neat to include the whole universe in the Event. nb:
Druffs had BLESSED-OF-LITTERS
Queega had HADITH
(Introduced?)Iodoidea Swarm Collective had PROBOSCIS
Herc's contemporary banter (and cursing) still seems out of place. As did Snowbird's, "Heh".
Liked the haiku-talk [inspired to look up haiku].
The Dreamtime Maze was a power full image.
Happy to have guessed at a Nightmare appearance.
The comparisons to Jason's ship was a neat observation as was Cho being a wild card.
Kudos to MaGnUs of Uruguay for coming up with a doubly appropriate name.
"I was just dreaming about you." 
"Really bad idea." Now, THAT is a SMART thing to say!
How much of the Hercules flashback is real-world true to myth? How much is Marvel's reimagining it? The former would be more appreciated.
Cho's family murder was surprisingly intriguing one panel teaser image. If he's gonna stick around, as sidekick, we're gonna want to see what truly makes him tick.
Wow, they're really pounding this Alpha Flight is really dead in a world where all heroes usually return. 
Atum fearing Eternity makes sense in some ways. Mikaboshi gets an interesting new layer. Ajak doesn't get scoped - thought this reaffirmed he was a suspected skrull which made the cliffhanger all the more shocking.
Herc finally fights the good fight. Enjoyed Herc's "Cant talk. Fighting." line.
Who do we know any of these fears?: 
Is Herc giving Atum a noogie?
Is Herc giving Narya a nookie??!!! C'mon, Marvel just gave this green light to take advantage of a troubled seducer with Carol & Simon last month. Oh well, gods will bear gods...
ZOUNDS! What a shock ending!
