Review/plot:
Kraft continues to not show the same level of weird cleverness that we saw in the Defenders. In fact, the book seems to be targeted at a much younger audience than the typical Marvel comic. I don't know if that was a deliberate choice. But the result is something nearly unreadable.

Iron Man comes to LA to investigate the death of the Stark employee that we saw in the previous arc.

He assumes She-Hulk is a monster...

...but eventually learns the error of his ways...

He also comes to an understanding with Jen Walters. Walters, previously a defense lawyer, has been made a special prosecutor and had been looking into Stark's involvement in arming the mobster Trask from the previous arc.

But she learns that Stark's employee was corrupt, a fact that she allows to keep a secret to protect the employee's widow.

Simple enough. Just not told very well.

Zapper gives the blood sample he took last issue to a post-graduate technician named Ralphie Hutchins this issue.

Ralphie tells Zapper that "when the time comes, you owe me one", and we'll later see that he does come to collect on that.
