More potentially bad news, especially for those of us that aren't a fans of Hulk just slaughtering people indiscriminately. It seems thats exactly the direction this run is taking

Apologies for the low quality, it was taken from a vod of a livestream. If you can't see it well here is the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv4gcpGKurc&t=1311s just go to the 21:50 and 22:40 mark to see them a bit better.
Either way what seems to be happening is a group of individuals that seem like some hero group although they could just as easily be villains, trying to stop Hulk from flying to whatever is behind them. Hulk ignores them and literally flies through them blowing them up to pieces. These are the first 2 pages of the second issue.
Now i can't speak for everyone here but i am not really the biggest fan of this. Not that Hulk can't kill at all, he certainly can but in Immortal Hulk for insances Ewing knew exactly when to do it and when to use it, here we see Hulk going through people as if they were no more significant than ants to him. The implication of this might be even FAR WORSE because from what we know this is Hulk being controlled by Banner at this point, so it's actually Banner slaughtering people indiscriminately.
Obviously there could be more context to this, maybe none of this is really happening, it's a dream or a vision or maybe it's not the Hulk we know, who knows. But if we assume for now that this is the real Hulk/Banner doing this than this really puts a stain on the character IMO. Like i said i don't mind if Hulk kills from time to time, in fact i think it can be a very effective tool, especially considering different Hulk personalities have different moral systems, but if it's done so casually and "seemingly" in control by Banner this really does a HUGE damage to the character.
So all the people that were saying, Cates isn't gonna retcon anything, he isn't gonna do damage to the character. Well i dunno about you, but he is certainly doing irreversibly damage to him here.
TL;DR I dont want Banner to be a sociopath, crazy killer... I dont want flashbacks of Aarons Hulk run...
