The dinner is interrupted by Ms. Marvel, a falling object and Dr. Doom all crashing into the street across from the restaurant. (That's Marvel's New York for you.)

Daniel Acuna is one of those creators that's really hit or miss for me, but his work on this issue is okay. The date scene looks nice, warm, and welcoming, the action I full of energy.

I love me some Daniel Acuna
