Civil War II: The Quickening #2

[informationgeek]

CBR News: He definitely has a long history at both Marvel and DC. This week brought news of midnight sales next month for "Civil War II" #3, which clearly positions that as a very important issue, with what's billed as a major character death. We talked a lot last week about War Machine's death; given the early promotion around this upcoming death -- including a Joe Quesada variant of the unnamed fallen hero -- is it fair to say this is expected internally to have an even bigger impact?

Axel Alonso: Yes. It's a big character and his or her death is a major turning point in the story. And the scene in which they die -- everyone will be talking about.

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: David Lopez


I was going to post this tomorrow, but since Marvel has no damn patience...



So last time, Tony Stark kidnapped Ulysses and demanded that he tell him how his powers worked. It didn't go so well and now the Avengers and crew have shown up...





Ulysses' new vision shows of a gigantic Hulk, crushing both Captain Marvel and Iron Man in his hands while the dead bodies of the Avengers lay all around.







Next time, we'll cover all of #3 and the fallout of that crap.

I just posted this

Sorry about that man. Just a bit out of it. I'll just have this post be all about the second issue. I'll do a full post on the third issue when I have more pages to work with.

We cool?

[kojiro]

Sorry i wasn't mad, I just assumed you had been working on the post when I submitted mine.

[informationgeek]

I was actually. I planning on waking up tomorrow and getting a post going right away (figure everyone would want a refresher on what has happened and before someone just posts something without much context).

Anyhow, it's all done. I'll do a full post on the third issue later in the month when four drops.

"I'll make this available everyone tomorrow instead of just members. In the meantime, I'm going to sleep."

Um, why make it members-only in the first place?

[informationgeek]

Already fixed and updated. Sorry man, after all of this, I wasn't thinking too straight trying to wrap my brain around this. Should be better now.

" I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.. the Hulk is going to kill you all.

" .. at this point, I think that might be a good thing. For me. "

Banner looks so happy and calm working. This makes me sad. :(

[captainbellman]

After the debate about profiling hinted at in "Sam Wilson: Captain America", it's kinda funny that Ulysses' warning about the Hulk makes Carol instantly home in on Bruce, rather than also send someone to shadow Amadeus as a precaution.

So just like Civil War 1, it doesn't matter which side you picked because everybody is screwed when the Hulk comes back.

[mastermahan]

And once again, it looks like I'll be rooting for Bruce to hand out some well-deserved asskickings.

[owlbrigade1]

I can get behind that idea. :)

Here's what I don't get, in both Civil War II and Minority Report:

You have people who predict the future. You know you can interrupt that future and prevent it from happening. So why does "interruption" require killing or incarcerating the would-be criminal? Can't you just tap them on the shoulder, tell them you know about the crime s/he's considering, and that if they do it they will *totally* be caught?

Especially when the future criminal is cooperative. If FuturePredictor tells me I'm going to kill my family or friends or something, just send me on vacation or lock me in a bunker until the predicted event passes. No need to shoot me or send me to jail for thirty years.

[nyadnar17]

Exactly.

The whole premise is only possible IF THE FUTURE CAN BE CHANGED. To treating perpetrators of "future crimes" like the future is set in stone is ridiculous. This is my main problem with CW2. Everyone in real life seems to agree this is the case. Its an issue with only one side.

Is there anyone on the side of Captain Marvel? Is there anyone who thinks punishing people for things they had no intention of doing, that it is within your power to prevent them doing is a sane and rational course of action?

[thehood]

They did explain it in Minority Report though.

[korvar]

I'm not particularly sure they did, to be honest, but it's been a while. What was your take on that?

[junipepper]

That's actually more or less how Kamala handled the guy in her own book. It worked well,
