Yes, I loved that page. And the issue as a whole was a blast, with a cool cliffhanger. Jim Zub makes a seamless entrance here, scripting from Slott's outline.
Glad that they finally paired Slott up with someone who can help make sure the book doesn't suffer any more late shipping.
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
That theme song is a work of art. Some people feel that Cap's is better. It's close, but Iron Man's theme edges it out. This was the best issue yet. I have a feeling that Gauntlet will end up working for Stark when this is all over. I'm hoping that Amanda sacrifices her life to save Tony. That would be the perfect note for the character to leave on.
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
"When Captain America throws his mighty shield... all those who chose to oppose his shield must yield!" - catchy, but doesn't really describe the character. Iron Man's actually mentions who Tony is. All the 60s themes are very of their time though, except for Spider-Man's.
Tony's best theme music has to be his second Marvel Action Hour one!

I still say the Thor 60's theme can roll with Spider-Man's. That stuff is majestic.

What did everyone think of the issue? What happened and were it’s heading?

It is mostly an exploration of Stark's psyche, and how he's undergoing identity issues very similar to what The Doctor faces whenever he regenerates. But that simple description doesn't do it justice. It is a very, very good issue.
The Controller story is still going on, but it's almost a side-issue, only relevant in that it puts a de facto time-limit on Stark learning to deal with all the pain and trauma of coming back from the dead and how that's given him severe identity issues.
Yeah, the issue is great. Machine Man kinda steals the show but the family drama and the Black Mirror-style ideas have big consequences for Tony. Schiti and Villanelli compliment each other perfectly and the really detailed 60's references got to me.
