"Dark Reign"

Now that "Secret Invasion" has wrapped up, Marvel has pulled the cloak of secrecy from "Dark Reign." Seems that Norman Osborn and other select baddies are now running things in the Marvel U. And Tony "Iron Man" Stark is on the outside looking in - and on the run, it seems.

So, yet another status quo for the Marvel Universe. Certainly, things are never dull, and I find the new status for Iron Man to be intriguing - and likely to make him a bit less arrogant. I have trouble believing it would be acceptable for Norman, Dr. Doom and the others to be handed the keys to the kingdom, though. Also: Too many Avengers. Mighty Avengers. New Avengers. And now Dark Avengers?
