⚠ AI-Estimated / Approximate Condition Profile

Book is sealed in original polybag with promotional insert (Marvel Action Hour preview) still attached, consistent with a factory-sealed 1994 promo issue. Cover shows sharp corners and clean edges with no visible creases, tears, or spine stress through the bag; slight bend visible at the top edge near the top-left corner. Colors appear bright and unfaded. Interior and back cover could not be assessed due to sealed polybag obscuring full inspection.

// Archive commentary

Len Kaminski scripts and Tom Morgan supplies art and cover for the second half of "Friends… and Other Enemies," a two-part story carried over from War Machine #8 in which Tony Stark and James Rhodes settle their dispute over the silver-and-gray armor design the hard way. The fight plays out on Stark Enterprises grounds with Bethany Cabe attempting to intervene, and closes with the Mandarin's hand visible behind events; Marvel used the issue as the on-ramp to the Hands of the Mandarin crossover that continued through Force Works #6 and War Machine #9. It is a well-constructed chapter of Kaminski's long run and a functional bridge between titles rather than a debut or origin book.
