On Earth, the Sentry confronts his inner demons as the shadows of past and future battles tear him apart.

On Sale: MARVEL TRADES LIST CIVIL WAR: THE INITIATIVE
Writer: TBA
One-Shot "tertertert" After filming a pro-registration PSA (public service announcement), Tony is met by the Secretary of Defense and is offered command of SHIELD. Tony delivers a definitive "no" as his answer. Meanwhile, Najeeb consults with his agent in Bangkok, who has just killed the "second of ten"; Najeeb orders him to locate the Spymaster for his next job. Later, Tony meets with Sal and Maya, discusses recent events and descends into an emotional funk over his personal commitments to the Registration Act and all it has entailed. Happy reminds him of his values he brings to the table: he's one of the only people that can be objective about the issue of hero registration, since, though he is a super-hero, he is essentially a non-powered human; thus, he can understand the vulnerability that the common man feels when living in a world of super-heroes. Tony finds this input from his friend very redemptive. Sometime later, Happy is ambushed by the Spymaster, the villain leaving Tony's best friend mortally wounded.
