Review/plot:
The first story lists Michelinie as the writer but says "based in part by a short story by Jim Shooter". The second story gives Roger Stern the credit of "Historian".

This is basically another downtime issue (the third this year, but i'm not complaining). The team cleans up the damage caused by the temporal fluctuations from last issue with the help of technical staff from Stark Industries.

Hawkeye agrees to take a few days off work at Cross to train with Cap.

The Beast heads down to watch Wonder Man at his day job: the muscle man on a kiddie television show.

There's even a back-up story where Jarvis beats up a young ruffian in his mother's neighborhood.

Iron Man, Wonder Man, and Thor have a discussion about what happened with Ms. Marvel last issue. Iron Man and Wonder Man are starting to have some doubts. It's almost like any kind of mind control Marcus had turned on them is wearing off. Thor, on the other hand, thinks everything worked out just fine, but let's remember that he's the god of a people to whom raping and pillaging was a primary means of employment.

Meanwhile, the build-up to next issue occurs in various subplots. Someone is stealing the components necessary to create adamantium. And the Wasp is attacked by a big robot in Pym's lab.

Wanna know how high-tech Iron Man's armor is? It's got a built-in clock. A digital clock.

• Ultron created Jocasta in Avengers #162. She still has the Wasp's voice, and it freaks Henry Pym out.

Okay, just curious why nobody seems to ever have the scan of Janet Pym (Wasp) putting on her costume in the dark?
It is one of the sexiest drawings of that lady and worthy to be seen!

Well, come on, Joe! Share the love, man!
