Rating:
The scene is the 8th City of Heaven, which is a Hell. It is currently ruled by Sun Wukong, the Monkey King (actually human-looking). We see him challenged by Bravest Panda Foot and some allies. Wukong makes short work of them. But then he sees one of the hammers from Fear Itself #2 land in the K'un Lun Mountains, and goes to claim it for himself.
Give that special marvelite a timely gift
Iron Man 2.0 is in Washington DC where we saw him fighting Sin's invading Nazi battle machines with Ant-Man and Beast in Secret Avengers #13. Here he is joined by another Secret Avenger, John Aman Prince of Orphans. He is one of the Immortal Weapons of the 7 Cities of Heaven, and senses that the gates to the 8th City have been opened.
Aman is summoned by an old pact to close the gates and, for a reason that will become clearer in #7, James Rhodes gets dragged along with him. He expects to see the other Immortal Weapons:- Fat Cobra, Bride of Nine Spiders, Dog Brother #1, Tiger's Beautiful Daughter and Iron Fist.
Iron Fist is in Beijing facing Titania, transformed by her hammer in FI#2 to Skirn, Breaker of Men, and Absorbing Man who is looking for the hammer in the 8th City.
