Ditto.

I am a little more optimistic about All-New All-Different.

The Secret Wars handbook seemed to be just a hype book to give people backgrounds on some of the concepts that were going to be explored in Secret Wars as well as profile some relevant items from past Secret Wars.

These days handbooks seem to fall under three categories: anniversaries, pre-event hype, and publication wide branding. The Secret Wars handbook falls under the typical event style handbooks. All-New All-Different for a company wide rebranding. I can see them doing another anniversary book when they kick off Captain America's 75th anniversary later this year.
