So does Bendis secretly hate Carol? Because with the movie gaining some hype with casting you'd think you'd want to put a better foot forward.

I'm not sure he hates her but he's always written her as kind of a dumb fuckup. E: Not that he's the only one. Before she was a Captain, Ms. Marvel pretty much did nothing but gently caress up from the mid 80s onwards.

Gwens are bad news for Spider-Men Not all Gwens are Stacy! I love Gwenpool so much. I also like how you can tell people are playing Arkham Horror and Betrayal in the House on the Hill in Mockingbird.

I think that, in a way, it's impressive that they set out to make both sides look sympathetic, but ended up making both sides look pretty bad for different reasons. Tony's grief anger induced kidnapping was overblown and premature, and Carol's rhetoric is so gross that we're happy that America Chavez hit her in the face with a chair.

I'm happy when America Chavez does anything. Sensational Character Find of 2011, imo.

Them plus Carol getting chair-faced have been the best parts of this whole event, not that the bar's been set high at all. Although it's funny that nobody mentioned what a coincidence it is that this blind redhead lawyer they totally don't know personally was the prosecutor at Hawkeye's trial AND the executor of Banner's will.

Carol beats the life out of Captain America and also a puppy, the next panel is black. You turn the page, and there's a word bubble "...And that's what happens". Next panel it's clear it's Ulysses speaking. Next panel, you see he's talking to Captain Marvel. "Oh, well, I guess I better not do any of that then." Then the LOST logo comes up.

Plus, not that realism is important, particularly in matters that most people won't catch, but wouldn't Jen Walters being in charge of the Banner estate be a conflict of interest? Definitely would if she was involved in the trial.

With Jen Walters in a coma and her old Timely supporting cast in limbo, Matt Murdock's the only super-lawyer on hand, and he just managed to screw himself out of ten grand in the last arc of his book. Dude's got to keep the lights on somehow.

I don't know if it varies from state to state, but I know that it's perfectly fine in at least part of the US to name the same people as executor and beneficiary. Literally "I name my children, Alice and Bob, as the executors of my estate. My estate is to be split equitably between my children, who at the time this will is written are Alice and Bob. If they cannot agree on an equitable distribution of assets, the matter is to be settled by my executors".

For god's sake, can we get a better outfit for Brashear? Someone get him the message that an armored neck ruff on a speed suit isn't stylish, and never has been. America over there is completely outclassing him with her 'normal hat and jacket' ensemble.

I think most of the time the executor is also a beneficiary.

Whenever it shows up I'm just astonished that it's still a costume for an ex-cop in 2016.

So far we have seen Ulysses major predictions correct, it's the smaller stuff he's screwing up on, so Carol and her team are kind of ignoring it. Plus people are being taken in for accidents, not straight up crimes. I was legit thinking that in AN Wolverine, Gabby was going to talk Logan down and they go "maybe Ulysses isn't perfectly predicting things" and there would be some self doubt, but NOPE.

Wolverine and Ultimates are the two best takes on the concept that so far as I can tell, the main book is ignoring. Pre-destination and even a small failure rate are both interesting wrinkles. Would Logan have hurt Gabby had SHIELD not tried to intervene, thus escalating the situation? Did trying to prevent the crime actually cause it? And what if Ulysses can be wrong, even very, very rarely? Can you justify building a whole framework around using his predictions when this one might be the one that's wrong?
