    In the hall of the dwarves

    The concept behind this issue is entirely absurd, but it is quite interesting.  Tony is screaming at a mystical tree in a drunken stupor asking to help what is occurring.  Odin finally gives him the chance and he introduces him to the metalworking and weapon making dwarves.  The interplay between these Tony and the group of dwarves is really well paced, touches well on his character (as well as the dwarves though they have just been introduced) and has some nice moments of levity.  Conversely Pepper has decided to take it upon herself to defend Paris, just as the team of Hammer employees shows up to find the missing armour.  It was an interesting switch as recently Pepper has been safe while Tony has been in harm's way.  Overall a pretty fun issue and its interjection in the overall Fear Itself storyline, though forced, still makes a good read and keeps the continuity of the series going somewhat.
