Civil War II: The Quest for Peace #5

This is mostly a fight issue with very little story. As such, let's just skip to the end where the point is. Ulysses has another vision!





Miles: How do you know?

Kamala: I just do.




Carol, you haven't learned a damn thing have you?

You know, for all the problems in this event, I have to say this is a brilliant way to use Hydra Cap. A vision of Miles, bloodied, standing over the dead body of Captain America, is one that strikes terror into the hearts of everyone present, because *everyone* there knows what Steve Rogers stands for.

Except none of them know what's been done to him, and what he currently stands for. So this vision could show Miles saving the world from a dire fate, but Captain Marvel is arresting Miles to stop it. This is the nail that proves Tony's point. In trying to save the future, Carol could very well be dooming it.

And I think this event tells us their out for Ulysses. Steve's going to kill him. This event is going to spook him, it's too close to revealing him, and he's going to set about finding a way to eliminate Ulysses in a way that won't be traceable back to him.

Also, I really don't want to ship Kamala/Miles but they keep having moments like this where they make me want to ship them. My brain keeps going "They're just friends! They have their own titles! With their own love interests, it's never going to happen!" But my inner fanboy goes "Squee!"

I wonder where Peter is during all this. Keeping him out of this fight was a very deliberate choice, I wonder how he's going to react all of this. He's a very big piece not to have on the board at this point.
