IIM #20-Stark Dissasembled

Hello! I mostly lurk because I'm a little shy, but I've been really enjoying this comm a lot. Besides the great fic/art, there's really smart discussions here. I was wondering what everyone's reactions to the latest Iron Man comic that came out today. This comm seems pretty Tony-friendly and can discuss his flaws without the kneejerk "he's a douche and should die" reactions.

Without going into any spoilers, I was really, really disappointed. I was looking forward to this arc after reading Fraction's interviews (I was mixed on World's Most Wanted) and I thought it would be good for the character but this first issue left me kind of cold. Plus, the thing with Pepper just seemed off to me.

What were your opinions, if you got the issue? Does anyone have some hopes for what this arc will do for Tony's character? What do you hope the Tony/Steve reunion scene will be like (I'm afraid to get my hopes up for that, too)?

I also feel a bit cheated by the dissembled ad with Thor when it turned out that Don was 100% fine with bringing Tony back.

Like, I don't see it out of turn for Tony to place the conditions that he did (although it's a dick move) but I actually wanted the resentment to choke Blake. That he'd have a struggle between the oath that he took, versus the anger that Tony would presume so much. I think that and Tony's reaction to Pepper has bothered me the most.
