Here's how bad this event is: this is my favorite character of all time getting killed off. Instead of getting upset or outraged, my reaction is simply, "Whatever."
Remember when Hawkeye thought killing was wrong to such a degree he divorced Mockingbird and made her quit the Avengers? Good times.
It's already gone, the link to the article.
Anyhow, Marvel... what the fuck is this? Seriously, what the fuck is this? Do you have something against quality in your events? Just... just no. No.

Sorry, I posted the link wrong.

Since we don't seem to actually see who shot the arrow, I'll hold out hope that it's a frame job.
Same here. It would be kind of hard to like Hawkeye at all after this. :p
All he actually says is that Hawkeye fans will be offended. Plus, even if he did say it, it's hardly unknown for writers to fib to prevent spoilers.
One, that arrow is clearly the Impossible Man in disguise. You heard it here first.
Second- is it just me, or does gathering all the heroes in one place and then trying to kill Banner seem like a great way to make sure that that prophecy *does* come true.

God dammit Marvel, can you please A) stop giving away spoilers to the media before the damn comic comes out, and B) STOP HAVING HEROES KILLED BY OTHER HEROES! They're the good guys, dammit! This is super villain behaviour!
It's shit like this that makes me glad I'm not buying anything from either DC or Marvel these days. I'll stick with Image.
Is there ever going to be a scene in this story where Ulysses' predictions are actually a problem? Because so far, it's just him giving the heroes some perfectly useful piece of info, and then they go and do something stupid and people die. The moral isn't that they shouldn't be acting based on prophecies; it's that they shouldn't be acting at all, because they're incompetent.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting from the situation. Ms Marvel has done a few low-level things that worked out okay in her own book, but if the standard is "the newbie teenager took down some low-level threats", that's not much of a standard.
Yeah, at this point I'm convinced Captain Marvel just wants Medusa dead. There's no other reason she'd keep throwing her at class 100+ bricks. And why is Maria Hill standing in front of a soon-to-be-murderous Hulk?
If you think Banner's going to flip out, just teleport him to Antarctica or somewhere and have Thor talk to him. Maybe send Ben Grimm and Wolverine along too if you think Thor needs backup. Have some psychics waiting at a distance in a shielded location. Leave all the other fragile meatbags at home.

I stand corrected. Well, at least Banner asked him to do it, I guess.
I sincerely and genuinely believe the requirement to kill a major character every quarter, whether it came from bean-counters, editorial, some exec or whoever, was one of the worst things to ever happen to Marvel.
More of an Archie/IDW man, myself.
...not counting the Marvel movies, because I am all over those.

Yeees, I find character deaths are one of the weakest parts of superhero comics.
And, once they're down the *really* huge ones who can come back, I worry about them killing characters who can't take the hit so well (as in, the 'time spent not having stories put out about them' downtime).

Bruce is depowered at the moment, which makes me wonder why they went after him and not the actual current Hulk at all.
