Very subtle, sir, very subtle. 😃

> House of M is an alternate Universe, and I’ve only seen Bucky in Ultimates, another alternate universe. So in the main “continuity”, they are still dead. Unless I’ve missed something, which is very possible.
You’ve missed something. 😉 Bucky is back in mainline (616 to the geeks out there) continuity as a guy called the Winter Soldier. Winter’s story is just now unfolding (and I don’t read it), so it still might be a hoax of some kind, but it doesn’t seem like it.
Uncle Ben, AFAIK, is still dead in the main continuity, but there are indications that at least one person who is alive in the House of M might make it back to 616 when everything resets, so it’s possible Ben will as well.

Rumor has it that Gwen Stacy will be rejoining the living and that Peter and Mary Jane will be no more.
I’m hoping it’s not true. I don’t want to give up my Spidey comics, but that’d be enough to make me.
