Something about the pattern on Torment's chest makes me think it looks like a scarf. With his whip, I think he's actually like some kind of evil cowboy.

...Wait. What if Torment is *Montana*?

I think that would be *too* weird of a pull, so "cowboy" is my main focus for Torment right now.
Variant cover of an upcoming issue of Amazing Spider-Man, drawn by Iban Coello as one of nine connection covers. The cover features an action shot of Torment, while part of a larger himself of himself is in the background. Torment wields two gauntlets, and holds a spiked lariat in his right hand. The Spider-Man villain Montana. He wears a green suit and a white cowboy hat, and holds a lasso.

The first one is my main issue. The second one isn't nearly as bad, but still feels a little tacky.

Being extremely predictable and saying that Titania is very cool. #PathOfRadiance
Titania from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. She is a red-haired paladin wielding a poleaxe.

Minor quibble about Joshua Williamson's upcoming Iron Man run. I'm pretty sure this is a retcon? It doesn't sound like a bad one, though. The universe feeling smaller is always a problem, but I could see Tony and Norman knowing each other before. It's just a bit odd to me.
Most surprising of all, it appears that Norman Osborn will be part of Tony's supporting cast. Osborn himself is in the midst of a redemptive arc, even moonlighting as Spider-Man in the pages of Joe Kelly's The Amazing Spider-Man series. This series will dig deeper into their shared history and the current ties they share. "I think there will be some concerns about Tony and what he is planning in response to what A.I.M. is doing from all kinds of corners of the Marvel Universe," Williamson teases. "But I also like the dynamic between the two of them. Two billionaires who have made…questionable choices and often seek redemption. I love writing the conflict between the two of them. They knew each other before they became Iron Man and Green Goblin, and I wanted to explore that relationship. Also when you have Norman…Spider-Man isn’t too far behind."

I haven't watched Arc-V consistently enough to be as attached to Shay besides cool vibes, but he belongs in this lineup because he's Yuto's best friend more than teaming up with Yuya.

I love Takeru, Crow, and Joey all being cocky, and Jesse with a friendly smile, but then Kite and Shay are grumpy.
Sketch of various "Best Friend" characters from each of the first six Yu-Gi-Oh! series: Takeru Homura (VRAINS), Kite Tenjo (ZEXAL), Crow Hogan (5D's), Joey Wheeler (DM), Jesse Andersen (GX), and Shay Obsidian (ARC-V)

Janet pleads for Hank's life, but Furt only sees him as a liability. Hank wonders why Janet is working for Fury, but Janet said she had a Vision. Before Fury can shoot, a hand phases through him and rips out a mechanical brain. A white and red android appears, holding Fury's brain. The HAND agents shoot, but they phasd through the android, hitting each the android. The android identifies themselves as Janet's *true* master. "Next: Behold the Vision!"

Oh, maybe Janet's been a triple agent the whole time? #Ultimates
Janet justifies her actions as doing this for Hank's sake, but she was happy to do this for herself. She speaks with an unknown benefactor, asking to go on a mission, but the benefactor can't afford her having a criminal record. When she Janet met Iron Lad, however, she had a vision.

😭 #Ultimates
Hank lost most of his memory and problem-solving skills. He woke up a completely different person than Janet remembers. Her father fires Hank, and encourages Janet to leave him, but Janet loves him. Seeing Hank as no longer the man she fell in love with, Janet almost does leave him, but when Hank asks if she's okay, she couldn't leave.

Kick some ass, Lejori. #Ultimates
Some HAND agents investigate the crater where the Triskelion crashed, believing no one could have survived. However, She-Hulk's hand emerges, ready to smash.

Janet being a villain is a unique twist, and I enjoy her and Hank's relationship in this. #Ultimates
The Ultimates realize the Triskelion was shot down. Cap calls for a search and rescue, but Janet points out there's no more teleporter. Cap is confident that Janet and Hank can make it on foot. Janet begins a narration, saying that she never wanted to get married. Janet's mother was ruined by her marriage, so Janet wanted to avoid the same fate by focusing on her dreams, such as designing fashion. However, during one of her father's corporate balls, he introduced Janet to Hank. Janet and Hank started seeing each other casually. Their relationship had their ups and downs, with Hankngoing from manic episodes to being lazy and staying in bed. Hank would always be interested in both his own theories and Janet's designs, and he was the only man who didn't make Janet's dreams seem small. Much to Janet's frustration, she realized she was in love with Hank... the same day Hank got into a car crash.

You can't just tell me Cap fought King Arthur off-page like that. #Ultimates
Wasp narrates that Captain Britain has summoned an army of various fantastical creatures. Captain America has killed King Arthur, but he'll come anyway with Avalon resurrection magic. Captain Britain is currently keeping himself safe with Leprechaun gold.

Oh fuck. We're getting right into it. #UltimateEndgame
A whole fleet of Cumulo-Carriers arrives, commanded by Nick Fury. She-Hulk watches in horror, but the fleet blows up the Triskelion.

I'm still not ready to let go of USM. You better keep that promise, Peter. #UltimateEndgame
Peter says goodbye to Richard and MJ, but MJ is upset that they couldn't even have a few weeks together. Peter sympathizes, but MJ understands he has to join the fight. Peter leaves with Iron Lad and promises to be home soon.

Bleeding Cool in shambles that this issue taking place after USM ends confirms that Richard doesn't die there.

Sorry, I can't understand the sadistic glee in wanting to see a hero's kid die. #UltimateEndgame
Iron Lad tells Peter it's time. Peter and his family have said their goodbyes. Richard wants to help, and puts on the picotech suit, but Tony puts it back on Peter. Both Peters are disappointed, and Richard is upset, but Tony insists that Peter must wear this suit.

U-82 is Uatu. Okay, that's clever. #Ultimates
Ultron-82, now in a blue robe, reveals that she sent the temporal flare. As Captain Marvel calls out to her, U-82 reveals that her name was mistranslated as "Uatu" by a race of beings who have since passed.

Setting up a cavalry. #Ultimates
Captain Marvel misses America Chavez. She thinks about when she gave America a temporal flare, to call her when she's in mortal danger. She hopes that America will use it. However, Cosmo interrupts Captain Marvel, having caught someone's scent. Ultron-82 chooses to stay in 2,000,000 B.C., realizing that the Maker's tampering with the timeline may have caused enough damage to retroactively changed the past as well. She bids farewell to Ultimate Nullifier, Cosmo, and Captain Marvel, activating a Watcher Protocol and promising to observe, not interfere. Captain Marvel hands her a temporal flare, saying to activate it once she has enough information.

Considering these retrains, can we get one for Power Tool Dragon or Life Stream Dragon next? Something that lets Power Tool Dragon fit more in with Machines, or Life Stream Dragon has a new form that doesn't require Power Tool.

...I took psychic damage from how completely and utterly stupid this prophecy reveals Hellgate and Nikodimu to be.

So, Nikodimu had a prophecy where Hellgate teams up with Spider-Man to stop a great threat. Except... the prophecy *explicitly* identifies Hellgate as the threat.
Two panels from Amazing Spider-Man #19, with Raelith and Peter sleeping in a hammock. Raelith the Wretched: "'Strongest star of highest born, rise to mend our planet torn. A shield from wretched avarice, chosen by blood and fate. Kailo's power, warrior son, hold strong the one Hellgate.' You are afraid he will follow back to Earth." Amazing Spider-Man #7: Spider-Man and Black Cat are confronted by Hellgate, who reveals the following: "Nikodimu, second of her line to be cursed with the Far-Sight, bade me breach the Soulwall and cross the Away Lands... so that I may parley with you, Prince of Steelsilk. I am... the Hellgate." Hellgate:" Our meeting and great alliance is foretold." Spider-Man is current trying to follow some of Hobgoblin and Tombstone's goons, and attempts to explain this to Hellgate in medieval terms. He gives up the bit, and asks Hellgate to wait twenty minutes for him to finish.

Give Deniz Camp a Captain America book. #Ultimates
Some officers consider Iron Lad's broadcast, implying that they will defect. Meanwhile, Captain America talks to Wanda and Pietro, who doesn't get why he's so nice to them. They tell him they've done horrible things, but Steve believes they can do good, too. Besides, the world hurt them first.

"The stage is set. But will our heroes deign to play their part?"

Peter and MJ sustain me. #Ultimates
The X-Men, the Parker family, Otto Octavius, T'Challa, and Killmonger all watch Iron Lad's broadcast. Tony basically pulls an Uncle Sam and invites everyone watching to join the Ultimates.
