Iron Man 2.0 #2

Dmitri Bukharin was one version of Crimson Dynamo. He is now a fairly senior in the Russian military. He helped Iron Man get into Russia in IM (2008) #14. War Machine met Suzi Endo during the Crossing crossover between the Avengers, Force Works, Iron Man and War Machine series. She later worked directly with him during Secret Invasion in War Machine: Weapon of SHIELD. She quit because of his methods in Dark Reign: New Nation, but he persuaded her back onto his team for his Dark Reign series. She must have quit again since then. There was no indication at the time that they were lovers. But it now seems they were. Suzi leaves this title for now, but will be back in the 2nd half of the Palmer Addley story after Fear Itself. Sometime around here she gets involved with Silver Surfer and High Evolutionary, and briefly becomes a cosmic herald called Seeker, in the Silver Surfer (2011) mini-series. One page near the end of this issue was the 1st page of the Iron Man 2.0 Prologue in IM#500. The rest of that prologue interleaves with next issue. Next issue War Machine will actually *become* Iron Man 2.0.
