    Olivetti's art is a great example of exactly how NOT to use digital when creating artwork. These pages look like nothing more than really terrible photo manipulations.

    It's primarily with the backgrounds, it's easily detectable that these backgrounds are actual photos that has been manipulated, the problem is that the background does not mesh with the characters on the pages at all. Sad seeing as his actual people drawing abilities are top notch. Put that detail into drawing backgrounds (which gets tedious I assure you) and the art would be phenomenal.

    His art was like in Punisher, too. I don't mind it, but your mileage may vary.

    I'm just in this for Fat Cobra!

    I don't think Olivetti's art is too great a fit for an Iron Man title, I liked him in Namor, but here with War Machine? I'm not sold, maybe my opinion will change seeing the Immortal Weapons and War Machine kicking ass, who knows...

    I'm not a fan of Olliveti's art, but it doesn't look to bad here. Really looking forward to see Rhodey and the Immortal Weapons kick ass during Fear Itself.

    This is the second time we've seen the Nazi emblem in a book. That could mean the German connection to the Serpent has become deeply involved in the Event and invaded Washington. I think the first one was in Avengers #13 to come out in May 13th. The Nazi sign goes back a long way, way before Christ even, so the Serpent may have it as his religious emblem?

    Visited NY and DC and saw Spider-Man Turn off the Dark.

    Your overthinking this, the Nazis are Sin's henchmen.
