Canon Questions

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

So, I've been working my way slowly through various different time periods in the Comics with my Marvel Digital Unlimited. Nothing from the last six months though. Digital Unlimited lags 6 or more months behind. I've been storing up questions about fanon and canon as I go along. I didn't want to bug the com with one whenever they popped up, but now I got a nice list built up. So here they are

( Canon versus Fanon Questions )

Finally some general comic reading ponderings.
Can I skip over New Avengers(2010)#8: Date Night? It is broken on the marvel website right now and I'd like to continue reading, but I don't know if anything plot wise happens I should be aware of.

Does Avenger's Assemble ever acknowledge the Civil War happened? And if so where does it start up after the Civil War?

So at the start of the "Heroic Age" Avengers, Steve tells Tony don't worry we aren't going to be on the same team and Maria Hill is in charge. Yet, I can't help noticing so far that every time something happens Steve just happens to be there to tell them all what to do and keeping an eye on Tony. Is this just me or did other comic readers see this when they were reading these? I keep expecting Maria to smack him one and say, I'm in charge not you!

And as final, totally selfish question on my part, for those of you how read the comics, what time period during the comics do you like how Steve and Tony interact with each other the most and why?(this is totally to give me some ideas where to read next. timeline? what timeline!)
