To me, it implies that he nearly began feeding, but was interrupted by the arrival of OKT--he was only able to actually start feeding after OKT was dealt with. The summary page of the latest issue helps support my opinion.

He believes that Galactus had already began feeding before he and OKT fought. However, based on multiple summary pages+the statements made after Galactus really had fed, I do not believe he began feeding until after OKT had been dealt with.

Also, during the fight we can see him looking really Old, like in the BRB Mini. At first i tought it was just the "visual" of old Galactus. But in the battle against the 3 girls, he was not with his "old visual" anymore.
If this was the only page, I'd agree, because we see the machine releasing energy and Galactus starting to crackle and glow: (please log in to view the image)
But here, there's literally a torrent of energy being unleashed from his mouth and his machine simultaneously as he screams about feasting: (please log in to view the image)
Art is a bit arbitrary and I don't think it's that conclusive but if anything, it supports my point. Here's Galactus before the first feasting scene: (please log in to view the image)
I guess my feeling on the scene is that when Galactus had actually fed(post-OKT battle) we were explicitly told such... Multiple times... In black and white... With no ambiguous reader-interpretation to be had.
That said, if Galactus had started feeding pre-OKT battle, as you're suggesting, I don't see why the [same] writer would have inextricably left such an important detail completely out of the narrative as well as the summary pages--he clearly had no qualms with telling us when G really did feed, after all /shrug. The panel(s) you're referencing are just too subjective/ambiguous for me to agree with you.
But yeah, agreeing to disagree is fine by me.

An action does not have to be repeated multiple times for it to have happened.
Again, I'm not saying he had finished feeding or was done. Just that the process had begun and it was interrupted by Thor.
I don't see what is so ambiguous about it. He's literally releasing energy from both his mouth and machine simultaneously. Thor even notes how the end is nigh, and all he has to do is let it go: http://s30.postimg.org/hsp5ebw7l/Th...der_020_017.jpg
But whatever, maybe I'm wrong. I just don't see what else could be happening in that scene.

Ah, thanks for directing me to Volume 2. For some reason I forgot that took place at the same time and I haven't read the start of that volume in years.
I was trying to wrap my brain around seemingly Morgana beating Asgard with the Norn Stones and wanted to see if you had any additional input. It's all explained in v2 13 though.
Though reading the start again showed just how much Thor holds back. He one shotted Replicus who was "too even" with holding back Thor, and he even stated he was holding back against Perrikus before smashing his face in.
I know some people will claim it's for some reason less powerful than the original from vol. 1 #141 but it looked pretty impressive in the fight against the Dark Gods in vol. 2 #12.
He basically one shotted an equal to his holding back form. Which could be likened to mean Thor can one shot himself as he's appeared in most of his appearances.
Which could get fun.
I have. Don't bring it up much though. Mjolnir is OP as it is, it being reforged as more powerful than ever would just be hax.
It can scale up ridiculously high. Thor can use it against Surfer or against a Cosmic Entity and still do some damage. Best weapon this side of the Skyfather tier imho.
Odin actually tries his best to resist, and does so better than anyone, but fails. Clearly the effects wear off to some extent by the time he teleports to Thor but he's still weakened by the daily doses throughout the rest of the arc.
Btw, the only reason he was taking any potion is because he was so weakened by Zelia draining his power and torturing him during the Dark Gods arc. A weakness plot device tying into another weakness plot device. Don't see those often....
^I'll do one better: Thor killing Glory even while being hit by the totality of its power and having his mind/body/soul being torn apart in the process of performing said feat.
And still surviving to tell the tale at the end of it.
