So Tony finds out early on in the ish that Pepper and Happy went through a divorce and he feels extremely narcissistic for not seeing this. Even though he was out of the picture for a while, he still blames himself for not being able to read the situation so to speak.

Hanging out in Isla Suerte "The shining jewel of the Caribbean" with hotels, resorts and casinos or as the villain Firebrand would later call it the soft play thing of the rich. Honestly my favorite part of this ish is the introduction of Rumiko. Shes a sexy 27 year old women who is Fujikawa's daughter.From a rich line but not allowed to actually work in the business for being female. Rumiko rebels in her own ways and mixes great with Tony Stark when they are together. She comes off as your cliche rich spoiled brat but you find out she's much more interesting than that and when the island gets attacked by Firebrand Iron Man sees her aiding the civilians and saving lives in the best way she can, fearless girl she is.

In this Firebrand sticks out because he shows his distaste for the rich throughout his moments and some of whatt he says is not wrong at all. "You live off the sweat and toil of others -- live like kings by standing on their backs-- and then fritter away your workers lifeblood in plush, useless places like this!

I did read the first 24 issues back in March of 2024 but honestly I don't remember what happens after this ish, like why does Firebrand have such a hatred toward the rich, does that get explained later on o is it nothing special?

It was funny when Firebrand asked Iron man "Your an employee Iron Man -- a worker! You should be siding with the cause, not protecting the parasites!" Iron man resonds "This isn't exactly the place for a political discussion but business doesn't merely exploit -- it provides people a means to make a living."

The ish ends with Firebrand activating a dormant volcano on hte island. more
