Review/plot:
The fight between Iron Man and War Machine continues.
The employees of Worldwatch and Stark Enterprises watch the fight, and eventually Bethany Cabe comes out with an EMP gun, causing both suits to lock up.
The idea is that they should talk over their differences while they're stuck there. But instead the Mandarin uses it as an opportunity to teleport them both to him.
Prior to this, the Mandarin sent his new Avatars to Hong Kong, but we don't really get to see them yet, so i'll talk about them in Force Works #6.
Quality Rating: C
Historical Significance Rating: 1
Chronological Placement Considerations: Continues directly from War Machine #8. Continues directly in Force Works #6, which is officially the first part of Hands of the Mandarin.

Comments
There's a reference here that Tony took Rhodey down before by shutting down the armor but that won't work this time. Does anyone know what issue that's referring to?
The footnote points to #192. I think it's an incorrect remembrance of when Tony crushed Rhodey's hip pod circuit and disabled his armor at the end of that fight.
