He didn't really expect to be fighting, I think. (Evil Overlords are stupid again. If he'd thought ahead a fight would have seemed pretty likely.) Really he wanted Thor to come right back to the Initiative Avengers, and if he'd been wearing a big suit of Thorbuster armor it might have soured Thor's reaction a bit.

Probably because Thor didn't politely notify Tony that he was going to show up to kick his ass.

I enjoyed this issue a lot. It seems to be setting things up and foreshadowing future plots. Tony does not seem to be gone for good. We'll see what he's planning later.

Also liked the interaction with the mortals with Thor, and his newfound friend.

I think Stark drank one too many Jim Bean(sp?) to think that what he did to Thor in his absence would not piss him off. He basically tried to bully and threaten Thor! That is like me after fucking Lois Lane and then threaten Superman to either calm down and accept me fucking Lois Lane or I'll kill him with a damp sponge.

probably in the shop with .75% of it's systems needing repair, and someone from the general accounting office going. It's going to cost HOW MUCH?

He has (or had) a Thorbuster-armor, which had some sort of magical powersource and/or Uru metal involved in its design. It didn't work too well, since Thor was still able to trash the armor.
