Ben Edlund may be writing a story, and is definitely drawing the cover of the last issue of the mini-series, #5.
Fingers crossed.

1602 came out today.
And reading it, I intuited something. I have no proof that I am right, but I think the Queen is not dead .

I'll be interested in your reactions, CaBil, as I came out thinking the exact opposite.
Tina, I finally read the Tales of the Vampires story in Drawing on your nightmares. As far as I can tell, there were no recognizable Buffyverse characters in it, but they were all unnamed, so there could be a connection. I do think they were clearly MEverse vampires though, given the way they were drawn. I also think the TotV will be written like the Tales of the Slayers in that there are lots of Slayers we don't directly know from BtVS, but they clearly inhabit the same universe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can anyone explain the XVerse to me? In one comic, Xavier's a comatose captive of a drug-addicted and loopy Magneto, in another he's calmly reassembling the New Mutants. And Wolverine! He just died, after killing Jean Grey, except not, I'm sure. He's also with Nightcrawler in Hell, learning that Satan is Kurt's dad.
CaBil, I kinda suspect what you do, mostly because we haven't seen a body on the paper, or anything right up in her court. But I'm not wedded to it.

ita, the thing that started the train of thought for me was Doom learned of the posion from Reed? And Reed didn't think Doom would use that way? Reed is way to smart to fall for that, and giving Doom something that would cause the illusion of death would be within Reed's gameplaying character ...

You make a good point.
Do we know who the BOOM guy is? Is it The Thing? I felt like I was following all the parallels last issue, but now I'm lost again. Too long between issues.

My suspicions is that it has to be The Thing. He is only member of the FF with super-strength. The man in the pool of water probably was Johnny. Which makes me wonder where Sue is ?

Anywhere she wants to be, I guess. Your assertion about the guy in the water sounds right, but how does that stop him from doing his thing?

Rereading 1602 #4, I have some ideas, but I thought the spoiler rule was a week. I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
