to be fair, war machine wasn't supposed to be there, and was along for the ride because he was banging carol. Chalk that up to Carol having shit judgement. I can't recall at all what the hell she-hulk was doing there, she's not on that squad, so I'm guessing clearly inserted for bodycount reasons.
As far as teams go though, that particular team is as loaded with heavy hitters as any other marvel team if not moreso- they even planned in advance to have Carol go Binary before the ambush.

Spoiler culture is the worst.
Jesus christ that hurt my soul.
Scarlet Witch, Sersi, Deathcry, Crystal, of all these good Avenging women to take an L for, Carol is the one you choose?
lol, putting aside what Iron Man himself could contribute to a fight against Thanos, The Ultimates not trying to source Thor Foster for the fight was dumb as hell. I honestly blame all of them for this too, like Carol is the leader but I'd have a hard time believing that Panther, America, Monica, Brashear would follow blindly.

Sorry man, didn't really have much to add.
JMS writing Flash Earth One confirms that label as "coming out whenever we feel like it".
He burned me with Rising Stars(where is the tv show by the way?)
But he kicked me in the balls good with The Twelve

Still surprised that Jean Grey death has held on this long.

it kinda hasn't? "teen jean" is the cheapest way around that death ever.
Hey, where are the rest of the O5? Slumming it in a book no one gives a shit about while Jean is hanging with the big dogs.
that whole bit was an excuse to bring back jean for the Nth time, and everyone else is along for the ride.
Him and The Jackal are hilarious, they will clone folks just to have something to do
in this situation? they should. rescue efforts to clear people the fuck out of that assholes range. if i had a suit of armor, and unless that thing was powered by the remnants of a collapsed star, im not fucking with thanos
those kids are smart enough not to fuck around
the ultimates (sans tchalla) and johnny on the ground, sure. medusa, crystal, and dazzler though? crystals good as a destraction, but she shouldnt be anywhere near a place where thanos can reach out and touch her. same with medusa. dazzler is a toss up depending on where her powers currently are

I don't like teen Jean at all but I'll take it if adult Jean stays dead and away from RightClops.
you say that now, but wait until she tries to mindrape him again
Like Sauron and his fucking dinosaurs.

Jean Grey is in that club of comic book characters who peak so hard with one story that the rest of their existence revolves around either deliberately avoiding it or redoing it.
Hulk got lucky, at least he had one more big peak with Planet Hulk after Peter David's run.

Someone needs to write a Jackal vs Sinister mini where they have armies of Gwens and Jeans.
clone wars. have it take place in the middle of ney york, and noone intervenes
So you saying Patriot is in a bunker somewhere just trying to survive?
I want this so bad......

Jackal is back right now! He cloned kingpin's dead wife just to shoot her in the goddamned head
patriot is outside the multiverse with kevin brashear. thats why they cant bring him back. he somehow fell out when the multiverse collapsed and cant get back in, and reed and co didnt think to make a copyy
All this talk about whether Banner's eyes were slightly green or not got me thinking. An art reference this specific yet seemingly insignficant sounds like something Grant Morrison would do, i.e. the beginning of his Batman run had Zur en Arrh graffiti plastered all over the place in obscure locations. Has Bendis been known to be this careful and meticulous with his notes to his artists? Cause I always figured him to be cut from the Geoff Johns cloth rather than the Morrison cloth.

That Dark Phoenix saga was too good
what issue was this

WTF? My boy Bruce/Hulk? Lick my nads Marvel!
It will probably take ten to twelve issues of various comics to clean it all up, yea.

one of the recent spidermen, I don't recall which one. there's a sub plot where random dead people are popping back up alive to convince certain supervillains (lizard, rhino, a few others) to get back in the game.
They found vanessa dead in a hotel room shot in the head- the implication being that kingpin refused whatever the offer was, so they simply shot the clone and left her to rot.
Odinson was deemed worthy again right before Secret Wars hit- but was killed right afterwards fighting beyonders.

Ah right, I read that but I may have forgotten the kingpin bit.
Manmademan

I think it was implied. All of the other clones confronted or were presented to the villains they were closest to. Can't see anyone else that would be significant for Vanessa unless the Rose is back somehow.

According to Doc Green, it wouldn't work on himself because of how he constructed it.
I'm a pretty big Hulk fan, too. It sucks... but at the same time, given Banner's shit life up to this point, it fits in.
It would have worked better if he'd been in the middle of explaining that he wasn't the Hulk anymore when he got shot.
Manmademan

had to go back and read the issue. You're right- that one wasn't a cure, but it WAS a "countermeasure" designed to stop him if he ever went full Maestro.
Doc Green says it wouldn't kill him, but it would make him "wish he was dead" and buy the avengers time to make difficult choices in the interim. Kind of vague about exactly what it did but it doesn't sound pleasant.
Either way, they have that laying around and it should have been an option.
....good fucking point.

They fucking should be.
Because apparently no one could figure out how to use Pym particles.Why didn't they shrink him?
"Don't mess with the classics?" Oh good god.
I'm surprised they didn't bring the entire A-Force. You know, like Singularity and Dazzler Thor.
All-New should be called "Evan and friends," because that's all anybody should care about: Evan Sabanur.
I have never wanted something so badly in my life
Thanos was sitting outside the universe. He got back in through the hole Galactus made to get back in.
Fucking Ultimates, man.

Nah, they're going to skirt around the Thor issue by giving Ultimate Thor's hammer to Odinson.

Jane is going to die and he'll get classic Mjolnir back

I'll believe it when it's announced by Vanity Fair or Time.

I honestly am not seeing Aaron's run ending in Jane's death. I do think she'll die, but the capper will be something between her and Hela.
Essentially, I think he'll get classic Mjolnir back, but I doubt they're completely dropping Jane Thor.
Thanos caved once and let Reese eat one of his chicken legs.

Man they really should. Not because she's bad or anything, as I absolutely adore her, because the storyline feels like it has to go that way.

I kinda wonder if all these continuity issues (magic users suddenly having magic, Banner suddenly being Hulk again, etc) are going to add up to be artifacts of Ulysses power. And that power would turn out be something like the ability to create future events (possibly by creating pocket universes?) based on his feelings and world knowledge. So Banner would be the Hulk again in this pocket universe because Ulysses wanted to hit back at Tony Stark and didn't know that Amadeus is the new Hulk.
But then I remember it's Bendis and it's probably just shock drama with no regard for any other current storyline.
