Hello Tom, thanks for the time you spend on here answering question! This might fall in the 'Wait & See' category but I was wondering if I missed this: in a recent (New) Avengers issue it was told that the number of universes had suddenly dropped from a few hundred thousands down to something like 24 for a reason. Was it ever explained?

It didn’t suddenly drop, the Incursions have been going on for months. And not all of those Incursions involve our universe, many of them, most of them, involve universes far removed from our own. So they’ve been steadily wiping each other out for some time now, to the point where all that can be detected at this point is around 20 surviving universes.
