A new Inhuman named Ulysses can see visions of the future and Carol
Danvers thinks they should be used to prevent trouble before it starts.
Tony Stark has doubts of just how reliable these visions were. One
vision predicted the arrival of Thanos and the battle to stop him ended
with the death of War Machine and landing She Hulk in a coma. Another
prediction has the Hulk flip out and kill everyone, and Hawkeye killed
Bruce Banner before it could happen with a special Gamma treated arrow
Banner himself made. After Carol had a random woman arrested thinking
she worked for HYDRA, a fight broke out between her team and Tony's
team, when suddenly everyone sees Ulysses' vision of Miles Morales
killing Steve Rogers. Carol places Miles under arrest.
Carol tells everyone to cease fire, including Rocket who was talking
back. Tony and Carol argue about what Miles should do. Tony says that
this isn't like the Hulk who was basically a ticking time bomb, Miles is
a good kid that would never try to kill Captain America.
Carol says she's not turning on Miles, but he should be kept in custody
until they figure things out. The others ask Tony if they really want to
risk that vision coming true. Tony says they should leave it up to
Miles.
Steve Rogers walks over to calm Miles down and asks him what he wants to
do. He just wants to go home. Steve says he's free to do that. Carol
says he needs to be kept safe in their custody and Steve says the kid
has done nothing wrong, just like Bruce and Rhodey haven't done anything
wrong. Tony tells female Thor to take Miles home. Carol tries to stop
them but Miss Marvel wraps her stretchy arms around her to hold her
back.
Maria Hill arrives and tells everyone that came to attack their base is
under arrest. Black Panther stops her, saying that if they shoot at
them, they would have to shoot at him too. He chooses to side with the
original Captain America. While Carol is distracted, Dr. Strange warps
Tony and his group away as Rocket tries to get in one last shot. Carol
asks Medusa if the Inhumans can use their teleporting dog to help catch
them, but they say no and vanish. Captain Marvel has lost the support of
many of her friends.
Female Thor carries Miles off when he asks to be left alone rather than
taken all the way home. Thor agrees and she flies off, leaving him on
the roof of a building. He looks down and imagines seeing his bloody
hands as he had just killed the original Captain America in the vision.
He cries and screams out in anguish wondering if he would really be
capable of such a thing.
Back at New Attilan, Karnak asks Ulysses what has happened to him. He looks back with a mysterious glow in his eyes.
Maria Hill tells Carol and the rest that the Triskelion has been
evacuated and they need to put out the fire on the Guardians' ship.
Rocket says they owe them a new ship. Before Blue Marvel can take it
away, the ship explodes completely. Rocket says they'll be crashing with
them until they get a new ship.
Star Lord tells Carol that he agrees with her, and they if there's a
chance to stop disasters before they start, they should do it,
regardless whose feelings get hurt. Peter and Groot hug Carol while
Kitty Pryde looks a bit jealous.
Tony takes the gang to one of SHIELD's old bunkers. He wants Miss Marvel
to go find Miles since they're friends, and she says she just wants to
leave. An Iron-themed hero takes off her helmet revealing herself to be a
girl named Riri Williams. She wants to help the younger heroes help
Spider-Man, and says she has the bunker mapped out. Miss Marvel excuses
herself from the gang and the younger heroes leave.
Steve senses that they went to find Spider-Man themselves and hide them
from both sides. Tony asks Steve if he has any baggage with Miles, and
Cap says he barely knows him. Tony and Black Panther discuss how some of
Ulysses' visions have been wrong and wonder if they become less
accurate the stronger he becomes. Vision says there is only one way to
know if the vision will come to pass. Tony says it's all up to Cap, and
Spider-Man.
Captain Marvel sits alone, crying as she remembers Rhodey and Bruce
Banner dying. Storm, Jean, Star Lord and Maria Hill come to console her.
Jean says there is no way for this vision to come to pass. Storm
apologizes for T-Challa betraying Carol, and she says she can't believed
Storm was ever married to him. Carol says if they do nothing, it would
be as if they killed Captain America themselves and they can't allow
that. Maria says they should re-test the Inhuman, but suddenly her
sources tell her that they have located Spider-Man.
Mile Morales stands all in front of the Capitol Building in DC, poised and ready to fight. But against who???
My opinions-
This was a bit of a cool down issue after all the fighting last time. I
haven't been saying this in the previous reviews but the art is amazing
and stayed consistently good throughout. Most of the first half of the
book is everyone abandoning Captain Marvel and her point of view.
The big thing was the introduction of Riri Williams. As we know by now, she would eventually go by the name Iron Heart. The thing that surprised me was to see
her here since I was under the impression that she would appear after
this story was done, but I guess it's better to build her up. The other
youngsters comment on how amazing she was in the past battle, but
honestly there were so many heroes flying around blasting each other
last issue that I don't really remember her doing anything of note. We
had things like Agent Venom attacking Miles Morales and Luke Cage facing
Blue Marvel.... but Riri really needed some sort of scene to make her
stand out.
It's hard to take a side, though now things seems to be favoring Iron Man, though it's nice to see Star Lord take Carol's side. I don't know why the visions have started turning on the heroes. Yes, the first one didn't purposely lead to Rhodey's death. It was predicting Thanos and the battle just happened to end with a casualty. But the visions now started targeting Hulk and Spider-Man, I mean what would Carol do if the next vision was about her? Lock herself up? Kill herself to prevent potential harm to others?
We'll see what happens next issue. I wonder if that innocent lady that was arrested last issue was really innocent and if we'll see her again. That empty briefcase was still suspicious.
