For the obvious reasons, I'm just going to say...***SPOILERS!!!*** ahead!
So here's where we are right now in Civil War II...After Tony Stark loses his best friend in a fight that was waged against Thanos (by the way, his best friend was War Machine), Stark kidnaps an Inhuman named Ulysses who can foresee future events before they happen (was that whole sentence kind of redundant? "Foresee future events before they happen"? Oh well...). Stark wants to figure out the source of his powers and how he's able to see the future. When the Inhumans and some other heroes show up to try and rescue him, Ulysses has another vision of the Hulk going on a rampage and killing heroes and Inhumans as he goes. So what is a superhero to do?
Just so you know, Bruce Banner's been cured of becoming the Hulk, and hasn't had an "episode" in over a year. Even so, Carol Danvers and Tony Stark show up at Bruce's secret laboratory and ask him to step outside. There, Banner is confronted by an army of superheroes. Danvers and Stark explain the situation to Bruce, so he asks if they are there to take him in or put him down, and Stark explains that the superheroes are divided on what to do, and that he needs more proof before moving forward. That proof is found when Beast hacks into Banner's computer while the heroes are talking outside, and discovers that Bruce has been injecting himself with dead gamma cells to suppress the Hulk. Banner gets pissed when they confront him about the vision and accuse him of what he's going to do...even though he hasn't done it yet. He gets angry and starts raising his voice when all of a sudden...
THWAP!
Does that word describe the sound of an arrow going through someone's chest? It'll have to do, because that's what happens, and it kills Bruce Banner before he can Hulk out. Hawkeye turns himself in for the murder of Banner. At his trial, Hawkeye explains that Banner had come to him months earlier and asked him to kill him if he ever started to turn into the Hulk again, because Bruce knew that Hawkeye could a) actually kill him with the right tools, and b) would be able to live with the fact that he'd killed him. Tony is furious and looks over to Carol Danvers (oh yeah, she's Captain Marvel in case I forgot to mention that) and asks her, "Who's next on your hit list?"
The trial ended and the verdict is about to be read...and then the issue ends! We're going to have to wait until July 27 when the next issue comes out to find out what happens next.
