Don't forget Marvel Disk Wars! :)

Iron Age is by far my personal favorite of the various non-UF universes here, although if you were to ask me on a different day my answer might be .45 Caliber Angel. (Also you should read that one next!)

It has really great integration of the source materiel. The StarkWire blog was a stroke of narrative genius, and contains some amazing writing. There are little nods to Hopelessly Lost throughout, which pleases me as a continuity nerd (and some day, I need to write about the structural similarities and differences between the last published part of Hopelessly Lost and Iron Age; you can see the clear lines of descent there) but the writing is in general much stronger than it was in HL. There are a few bits of plot structure I'm skeptical about (Ben Stark being taken seriously as a grass-roots reporter while owning a multinational industrial conglomerate is one of'em) but it's a really nice piece of worldbuilding.

Also too: keep up the re-read posts, Phantom. You might want to consider trying to start a formal EPU Book Club kind of thing.
