(Nov. 2006)  "Execute Program, part 6."  Cover art: Adi Granov. Script: Daniel & Charles Knauf. Art: Patrick Zircher/Scott Hanna.  Looks like all hell's breaking loose as various Stark armors are running amok in the aftermath of the death of Yinsen's son. Stark's numerous fail-safes have all been disabled, so it's up to myriad superheroes to put the kibosh on the rogue armors. (And check out that wicked new Undersea Armor -- looks like the Martian Manhunter in his original Martian form!) One thing's that kind of a disappointment is the lack of time devoted to these specialized armors. Remember the entire issue devoted to the original Stealth Armor (vol. 1 #152)? The Hulk-Buster Armor (vol. 1 #305)? Those were the days. Here we see the "Stark-Chobham Armor" which is an "experimental composite of carbon nanotube-reinforced ceramics skinned with adamantium." Think an issue devoted to the use of this armor might be kick-ass? I sure think so. Ultimately, the heroes are successful in thwarting the rampaging suits, and Stark begins his philosophical musings which lead directly to his stance in "Civil War."
