OK this is the first stand-alone issue I-ve reviewed for a while.
This features the Avengers Iron Man Thor Hawkeye Vision Mantis
They travel to Vietnam to bury the recently deceased Swordsman. There they encounter the Titanic three; Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo and Radioactive Man.
The Titanic Three are the superhero police force of post-war vietnam. The Avengers are not able to confront them immediately due to political constraints. There is a brief Thor dominated skirmish with Iron Man over this but IM gets some sense knocked into him via a mystic uru hammer.
Later in Saigon there is another confrontation, spurred on by some petty criminal.
The thing that draws me to this issue is that I have always LOVED the dynamic between IM, Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man. The fight is pretty decent as well. The politiacl dialogue is a little tedious but it serves to remind what is going on at the time.
Overall a good read as a stand alone.

Thanks again. I wasn't crazy about that entire run. Just now finishing up the group. Never been a fan of the whole mantis thing. This one issue stood out to me so I just plucked it from amongst the group.
