Solid, AIM committed a terror attack in Indianapolis using a DNA Bomb on 100 victims. Iron Man pisses off Carol that she punches him straight up into the sky. Telling him if SHIELD have been chasing the bad guys instead maybe this wouldn't happen. Iron Man rebuts with how Carol seemed gung-ho about it with how she handled Julia and this made her go apeshit on Iron Man.

Iron Man did this on purpose because he wanted to see where she stands and to be the next leader of the Avengers. Carol declines this and instead wants to create a focused strike force without the bureaucratic chains of SHIELD and the overpowered use of the Avengers.

Also this series must still be tied to 1998 Iron Man because Carol says how Tony has been with her in AAA, so I was wrong about how Marvel killed off the 1998 universe from the previous Warbird fight issues.

Carol has it out with her publicist and Sarah really diminishes Carol's character as being nothing to special and hard to market. Carol does this pretty cool speech (check it) about not needing publicity or praise or doing anything for attention like adopting kids from another country for the greater good (her words). She's so badass and not a pansy at all lie some people would have you believe. more
