I had a question about the two series going on right now. How is it that they are both happening? In one issue of Secret Wars, Spider-Man is seen coming out of the life raft that was built to save the heroes. But, in Ultimate End, we see the same Spider-Man, 616 universe, hanging out with the other heroes and meeting Aunt May and Gwen of that world. I'm just wondering if one of the comics takes place at an earlier point in a timeline or something? Thanks!
