Apr 10, 2024Patch Zircher joins the series as guest artist, the perfect match for the darker themes introduced in issue #17 that will likely carry through to the end of the series. Read Full Review

Apr 10, 2024This story continues to take it's time to unfold. At no point has this creative team rushed or allowed the momentum stall, leading to a series of books that are put on the top of my pull list each month. Fantastic writing, a great guest artist, and a cliffhanger ending put this in the "Must Read" category! Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Apr 11, 2024Invincible Iron Man #17 takes all the plot development over the last six months or more and chucks it out the window in favor of a lazy, disjointed, out-of-nowhere twist that forces Tony's story to "support" a nonsensical Orchis plot twist in the X-Men titles. Zircher's art is perfectly good, and there are some exciting action moments, but this issue is largely a miss. Read Full Review

I disagree heavily with the idea that this issue was filled with filler. You need some sort of character or else the action has no impact.

I understand the argument of this being a lot of filler, though I disagree that something being filler inherently makes it bad or is a negative. I thought the dreamlike stuff with Tony was pretty good, and it's only made better by Zircher's interiors. I thought it was just well-written and well-drawn, in general, and I'm looking forward to seeing Tony working with Magneto.

It was weird to have half of this issue be an existential crisis that takes place in his head and the other half moves the story along. I do like it so far, but it has its peaks and valleys. I love the idea of the sentinels using Stark Tech and I like Tony and Emma together. It's different.

The author's intentions are clear. He wants to pivot Tony, like all his heroes in all his books, against the AIs as the real villains. He has a last-page twist ready. He wants Tony to clobber Feilong along the way.
The problem is that that's five pages of story, max.
So he lugged his script up to the spigot marked "generic Tony Stark guilt trip, hallucinatory flavor" and let 'er rip.
The artist contributes some clear, if not particularly memorable, visuals, and the net result is a comic that's hard to hate but equally hard to like.

It's good once you get past the tedious filler that they put there so it doesn't get ahead of the event.

Pretty disappointing issue. Not a lot happened, so skipping this issue wouldn't have made a difference.
