During the last arc, we got teased about the coming of Black Widow, and that happens now. She wants Iron Man to help deal with a Soviet spy.
And she rides in a pod on his back. (Why is her costume green????). There’s a lot of this—Iron man literally carrying Black Widow throughout the mission. It’s undignified for a spy of her ability.
Of course they’re successful in foiling the dastardly plot.
Widow deserves better than this. She’s wholly unimportant to the story.
Real-life President George Bush the First appears.
On the letters page…
…We are told that John Byrne is resigning, and we’re told that Len Kaminsky is a good replacement because he wrote a “well-received” Quasimoto story.
Really? I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “well-received” Quasimoto story.
