*SPOILERS* Updated: Mr. Anonymous Steps Up With Corrections

The anonymous commenter that dropped spoilers on the Marvel_b0y LJ right before implosion contacted me to make slight corrections on what I was given by friends last night. He doesn't want to be known as the man who ruined Secret Invasion, so he wants to filter this through me.

***Disclaimer: I make no claim as to the veracity of these spoilers or the mysterious spoiler being in a position to know any of this.***


Concerning "Skrull Jarvis has something that makes all Iron Man shit not work" it's really a skrull computer virus that makes everything with the Stark name on it not work. This includes satellites, missile silos, power plants, Tony's Iron Man armor, the Initiative, and most of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's this same computer virus that opens up the Raft so the prisoners (including Doctor Doom) can escape, not Skrulls themsevles.

It's made very clear the Susan Storm skrull that opens the portal to the negative zone is not the same sort of sleeper agent Skrull that has been replacing heroes. It's a member of a group of tourists visiting the Baxter building that breaks away from the tour, shape-shifts into Susan Storm, and infiltrates Reed's lab.
The Baxter Building doesn't exactly get "sent into the negative zone", it implodes into the portal within the building. The script describes it like this:
Page 32-
Two half page panels.
1- Ext. Manhattan- day
Its the Baxter building. Its gorgeous. Light gleams off the side. Except that it looks like someone took a bite out of the top of it. Negative zone is eating the building.
The building, the air, everything in its way. An unearthly crackle around the edge of where the building is falling apart.
2- Same, but half the building has been eaten by the negative zone and is imploding on itself. And its not stopping.

That's all I wanted to clear up.

So...that's what's up for now. It remains to be seen if we'll get anymore info or updates. ;)

Update: Mr. Anonymous has sent the following historical tidbits regarding OMD and other Marvel Universe realities:
it was torture when OMD was coming out
because I knew all that stuff about 6 months prior to their first issue
for a while, Gwen Stacy was definitely coming back
but they settled on Harry Osborn
brought back by mephisto
originally, it was Loki that was supposed to change reality
but since Loki was MIA, they went with Mephisto
here's a bit I heard:
Quesada was the ONLY one in Marvel editorial that wanted to undo the marriage
EVERYONE else was dead set against it
but he pulled rank and made it happen
he's also the only reason that Black Panther is still being published
It's pretty disappointing to hear that
because I kinda liked him prior to all that
Oh...and there's this about HULK (spoiler itself in white text):
I was told the ending of World War Hulk about a month before the first issue
and by the last issue, they changed it
it was supposed to be a Gamma bomb that took him out

have they revealed who the red Hulk is?
I haven't been keeping up on that book
It's Thunderbolt Ross
That's all for now, "true believers", but he has more. It's all too far out to feel confident that Marvel won't change it midstream like the Hulk ending.
