New Comics Wednesday
Last of the Mohicans comic is definitely worth the price of admission. Hawkeye is all gaunt-but-pretty, and the backgrounds are gorgeous. The dialogue, sadly, isn't quite up the usual high standards of comics writing, though, because they take it all verbatim from James Fenimore Cooper's text.
In Iron Man news: Mostly set-up, where it's established once again that the Mandarin is insane, that Tony is the poster child for clinical depression, and that Dugan and Sal both pwn. And that the Department of Defense wants to get their hands on Extremis (Maya stayed loyal to Tony and turned down their offer, but the stage is now set for her sudden-but-inevitable betrayal).
Best part of the issue: Dugan's grin when Tony finally surrendered and agreed to go behind Washington's backs and do things the Nick Fury way (i.e. covertly and illegally).
Worst part of the issue: Tony's stupidity re: Maya. Tony, babe, I know you're desperate for human contact, and that sleeping with Maya provides the illusion of intimacy without demanding the emotional energy you don't have, but considering that every woman you've ever slept with has screwed you over (well, all of them but Bethany Cabe), you've now ensured that she will sell you out to somebody by giving them the Extremis tech.
However, judging by the last panel, next issue is going to have zombie cyborgs. If they eat Sal or Maya, I will cry.

Which is why you should have slept with Steve! He'd never have sold you out!
Okay, you might have had a horrible argument and broken up over conflicting moral views of the world, but dammit, it would have been all upfront!

And you'd have gotten back together again inside a month, once you talked things over on a scenic bypass overlooking the pacific ocean and he forgave you.
