Civil War II still has some way to go until its conclusion. Its final issue is scheduled for December 28th.

Originally, of course, it would have been published by now. Alongside Champions #1. And so the scenes in Infamous Iron Man #1, published today, would have just followed from that.

In which we are told in the precis…

Dire consequences? It has been noted that Tony Stark, Iron Man, has been absent from solicitations for comic books running for the next few months. After when Civil War II should have concluded.

Live on television. Dies. Hasn't come back to life. Confirmed by… okay, by Doctor Doom. But still. Oh and it's not the only post-Civil War II spoiler going around. What happens to at least on of the Guardians Of The Galaxy now that they have been grounded on Earth and, for some reason, can't find a spaceship to take them off it? Well, the Thing… …joins SHIELD. Who were part of the reason their spaceship was destroyed in the first place.

Infamous Iron Man #1 by Brian Bendis, Alex Maleev and Matt Hollingsworth is published by Marvel Comics today.
