I think Tony is actually very vain, when he remembers to look at himself. Like, he'll grease up his pretty clothes without a thought, and the fact that he'll look like a hobo after days down in the lab won't bother him...but if he was going out to some social function, and he were to prim in front of his vanity table, which exist even in the original cover with pretty craved details and all, he'll be really vain about the way he looks.
The heart wrenching bit for me is how everything gets corrupted, good intentions. The Avengers intended to go back to find a cure, but they ended up eating Jarvis. Peter rushed home intending to get his loved ones to safety, but he ended up eating them when he's hungry. Tony and Steve intended to go out for a romantic walk, trying to pretend everything was normal, but it turns to horror anyways.
Tony and Steve didn't intend to hunt, the streets were already deserted, and there Tony was, mocking at how old everything is, the old phone booth, the old clunky electrical boxes, and then they noticed that someone is living down there, and they just couldn't leave it alone.
I've always really like it when someone angsty is followed up by a light little omake. In fact, I wonder if that was the original use for omakes in Japanese manga. After a long serious story, they have a cute little sidetake. ...and I think in collections of short stories, the order they are presented in matters as much as the content. Like, I read Bending the Landscape, Horror, and I really would have liked it better if they struck the one with the birds and optimistic ending at the very end.
