Some reactions how the ish relates to Iron Man...

Hated that Richard Ryder tells the press he's back on Earth. Previously Tony bent the rules and gave Nova a 24hour time limit to decide to join the Initiative or leave Earth. Here, it is mandatory that he has an encounter with Iron Man ASAP - to respect the readers.

Have grimaced, at SecondString, at an anticipated clash between The Immortal Weapons, Avatars of Khonshu and the Gathering of Ghost Riders. Now the the Nova Corps is back put them in the battle. Plus, a legion of Iron Man remote units have occured at least 3 times since NA#1 so can picture them being added to the Clash of the Superteams.

Feel that Fin Fang Foom belongs to the puppet strings of Iron Man Editorial. It was interesting to meet Fraktur. Her presence takes away from the majesty of our ancient green monster with her pronouncible name, Earthlike need to catch up with family, debatable comparitive size and strength, racial inclusion in the Corps(though the Shiar-ish Hep-kin guy there is more odd). Still, it would be neat to see her encounter Iron Man.

This Serpent Society defeat should be the first example of Norman Osborn messing up his new command. Maaaybe any equivalent to the CapeKillers are disbanded - but why - but how did the Corps beat the Initiative to take care of the Serpent Society?

Justice sitting, alone, watching TV in his apartment while in uniform was odd - he got more respect when he was working for Tony.

Darkhawk doesnt have a high opinion of his armor but couldnt recall if Darkhawk ever went up against Iron Man armor ever.

Worldmind probably exponentially outprocesses ANY system or A.I. associates that Tony has ever worked on.

Exciting developments all thru and a fantastic last page line.
