(March, 2001) "Remote Control -- part 2." 

Cover art: Kaare. 

Script: Frank Tieri.

Who are these guys who keep trying to ambush Stark? (Gee, one would think a billionaire like Tony would have the resources to prevent sneak attacks like this!) Tony apparently smooths things out with pal Ty Stone (but not Rumiko) while things heat up between Tone and biz rival Trevor Donohue! After Stark reams Trev about his business dealings, Donohue seems to set in motion events that will unwind Stark's life!! Meanwhile, the Radioactive Man heats things up for Shellhead -- the classic red and golds seeming insufficient against RM's increased power! Cliffhanger ending and many loose ends that need to be tied up. Tieri makes it interesting, but not completely original. Keeps you guessing, at least. 

Hube's Recommendation: 0 repulsors!
