(Feb., 1998) "Looking
Forward." Cover art: Sean
Chen & Eric Cannon. Script: Kurt
Busiek. Art: Sean Chen/Eric Cannon. Shellhead
is back and kicking in the Marvel Universe!! We get reacquainted with "old
friends" as Tony Stark assesses his surroundings. Readers will have tons of
questions, like 'How is Morgan Stark alive?" and of course "Why
doesn't Tony have any memory of the 'Crossing' events?", let alone
the occurrences of the Teen Tony
era. But, forget them for now!! The Death Squad
is after Tony and hence we have our first new mystery! Tony also decides to not
reacquire Stark Enterprises, instead opting to begin a new company -- Stark
Solutions! Busiek has an obvious grasp
of the character and his history, which will turn on long-time readers
instantly! Chen's art is crisp, like IM
art should be, and he'll only improve as he moves on. One flaw in this debut:
the coloring is scant and light.
Hube's Recommendation: 
1/2 repulsors!
