@capt Ares is easily distracted by pretty women, he is a Greek god after all.  I think Mockingbird has it all set by just using her feminine wiles on him.

Do you think they will explain why a power disruptor bothers people without powers?  Is everyone in the radius of the blast vomiting up their guts right now?

The Armor Wars also has a nice Hamlet vibe with the holding of the helmet and all of the other armors staring down at him.  It gave the whole book a real sense of gravitas and a sense of Tony being haunted.

August 7, 2009 3:53 pm Considering Marvel's recent effort for many books to be "big story" books, I really appreciated the ongoing stories focusing so much on the relationships of Peter, especially his friendships and family dynamics.  Spidey is best when it is grounded in Peter being a part of a "gang" of friends and M.J. is and always should be part of that gang.

As someone who had grown very tired of IM and Tony following Civil War, I am very impressed at Fraction making this such a strong title.  Plus, am I the only person happy with the notion that the extremis uber-intelligence might be gone?  Stark was plenty smart and didn't need an upgrade.

I am sure the weights are also appreciated considering he has access to a gym and the danger room.
