War Machine #7 ruined this run of IM (not that the art didn't already do that but I was still hoping for some kind of improvement). It shows Stark being fine and dandy, running a new company called "Stark Solutions" (which apparently is a real company, look it up). I don't keep up with WM (I just got this issue because I read Stark's in it) so I can't tell when exactly in Marvel time this is happening but it is during Dark Reign and Osborn's in charge so I can't imagine it's in those brief days Stark still had a hold on his business.

I'm speculating Extremis will have fixed itself of the Skrull virus and return IM's memories. Though I wonder how Stark can operate a company while still being most wanted on Osborn's list. Maybe he struck a deal with him? Or an impostor/clone/skrull/etc?

Returning to the issue at hand, the only thing that bothers me about the Tony/Pepper relationship is that Pepper's most likely going to die. Considering how well Stark's romantic relationships have gone in the past I'm assuming their hooking up is the writer's way of telling us to say goodbye to the character. I really hope that's not the case and I'm just being pessimistic.
Also, Stark asking who Happy was...saw it coming and loled when I read. Felt awful afterwards.
