Matt Murdock calls Carol Danvers and later Tony Stark to the stand in the Manhattan Federal Courthouse. They recount what happened when they went to confront Bruce Banner on the vision Ulysses saw. He denied it was possible but stepping outside, sees the Avengers, Inhumans, X-Men, and Ultimates waiting to stop him if necessary. He continues to resist in shock when Beast comes out with news - Banner has been experimenting on himself with treated dead gamma cells. As his voice rises, an arrow suddenly comes flying from the trees, piercing Bruce Banner's back as he falls dead on the grass. Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, holds out his wrists in surrender - and today sits as the accused in the courtroom. Barton tells the court that he did it because Bruce had asked him to. Months before, they'd met at a bar and Banner had given him the lethal arrowhead, making him promise to strike him down if the Hulk were to ever emerge again. Later on as Henry McCoy is called to the stand, he testifies that the arrowhead was in fact designed by Bruce Banner as well as a video from him asking Clint Barton to kill him. Carol Danvers goes on to remind the court that they've been using Ulysses to stop crimes before they start. Tony gets angry at Murdock for not asking the right questions... This is all Danver's fault. This entire situation has escalated because of her. The issue ends with the judge about to read the verdict. Mary Jane asks Tony if he's interested to which he replies he is not. Suddenly Friday, Stark's artificial intelligence announces to them that she's cracked the code on how Ulysses's mind works. Tony and MJ react in horror and with that, the issue comes to a close. This is really starting to get good. It's finally starting to make sense as to why there's so much animosity between these bands of heroes and Bendis is doing a stellar job of explaining why. Does Hawkeye go to jail? Does Tony now see the future? I guess we'll find out next issue but for this one, I give it a 9/10.
