He's been awesome on X-Force and venom and SA will make it a trifecta of titles I'll snap up every month.

As to Frontline- they say themselves that it's all speculation- and Joe Q said that Stark never did any of that shit- that it was pushing the character too far into villian terriory- making him into Ozmandius from Watchmen.

Wouldn't be the first time Tony's gone evil. Prior to Heroes Reborn he went all nuts too.

Like I said though, in the issues prior to civil war of Ironman they cover his perspective and actions. While Joe Q may have said one thing, that doesn't mean the stories don't suggest another. There are a lot of things creators say that then don't get reflected on the pages. Now in Tony's defense, he didn't know outside factors had increased Nitro's explosive power. Trust what's on the pages though. Marvel has a bad habit of "Look at what I'm saying, not what I'm printing."

As for Rogers and killing, that's a varied topic. He's not the punisher, but he's not anti-killing either. Generally speaking it's only in a time of war he kills though. Otherwise he uses non-lethal action. SA balances back and forth from this. They use non-lethal at times, and lethal at other times depending on who they are fighting.

Overall though, it's marvel. At the end of the day you just need to remember these are the same people that have the mantra "Don't let characterization get in the way of a good story."

And to be blunt, the SHRA was Marvel's attempt at parodying the Patriot Act.
