One could argue that Tony's being shown in a wounded 'What is happening to me?' light over in his book, but then again one could argue all this bad continuity is just independant vision and we should all just shut up and sit down. I agree that if they just said, no, there are bad guys and good guys and one of them is going to win, I'd understand and be fine. Just don't consider yourself 'fair and balanced'. CalivinPitt: Yeah, Falcon's an Angry Black Man(tm). Fights inner city crime too. The artist touch was nice but there are beter way to sneak in little nods ot past continuity than to have him MISS the SHIELD Cape Killer SQUAD. Meh. I'm picky like that, though. I have my own opinions on Pym, another big long rant is in the works. =) Chris: Yep!

I thought Falcon came off a little too angry though, but I'm not up on his backstory, so maybe it's standard for him. I did like watching Pym catch a shield in the nose. Made my day.

Do you think there's a snowball's chance in hell we'll see any pity party or self-loathing from Iron Man to get readers to sympathize with him? Of course not. I'm OK with there being a clear right side and wrong side, it's Marvel's unwillingness to admit it that bothers me. Stupid Marvel.
