I'm not going to try to work out the chronology of the various "The Crossing" tie-ins, but I thought it'd be a good idea to check in on "second tier" books that were part of the crossover. For those that don't know, "Force Works" was Iron Man's cool 90's team, and was featured as the supporting cast on his 90's Saturday Morning cartoon show. It was basically a re-tooled "West Coast Avengers," but with a sillier name and a 90's attitude.
