All the secrets of The Watcher’s murder will be revealed in Original Sin #8. The final chapter of Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato’s cosmic whodunit hits next week.
Who killed Uatu is the big mystery but the death unleashed a tidal wave of secrets across the Marvel Universe. Things that only The Watcher saw were recorded by the ancient alien. When Uatu’s eye exploded it suddenly downloaded memories into the minds of heroes and villains.

Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said it was part of the plan (with Aaron) to show what a bad ass Fury is in a special Marvel liveblog.

Brevoort promises “you’ll see exactly who killed the Watcher, you’ll get another big, epic battle, and some crazy resolution.”
