It's typically Ellis to have a political message in view and to force the plot and characterisation into that message. (It's not a bad message, but I don't read superhero comic books for the political message. If it flows out of the story and the characters -- great. But this book ignores not just the present situation with these people (and in just about everyone's case - particularly Tony's, Steve's, Carol's and the Widow's - this is difficult enough - it ignores the continuing relationships between them. Carol's closeness to Tony and Steve, Thor's unshakable love for his 'brothers' and Tony's long-term hero worship of Steve, in favour of everyone being extremely touchy and snarky with each other.)
