I'm betting Howard the Duck is going to be anti-reg; I'm also betting he'll be the funnest thing in this book. Though, I am interested in seeing if Tony in this issue acts ever so slightly like less of a *****e bag, since Marvel is apparently surprised and a bit concerned about the hatred that's been coming Tony's way lately, (especially with a movie coming out,) so they want to try to salvage some fan sympathy for someone they're now billing in promos for this book as "the most misunderstood hero in the Marvel Universe." Unfortunately for them, I think fans do understand Tony pretty well by now and that's why we all dislike him whereas with Reed we just dislike the evil Reed clone and the bad writing.
