Invincible Iron Man #5

Invincible Iron Man continues to walk a fine line of working as a standalone book while also being part of a larger story Duggan is telling across his books. The issue does a good job filling in readers on the relevant events from X-Men and it never feels like you need to have read the book, but it certainly improves both if you have. Read Full Review

Frigeri delivers some great art in the issue. The visuals are thrilling and filled with great emotion from Tony. I loved the moments on Krakoa a lot visually. Read Full Review

A decent read that lacks a strong sense of excitement or tension Read Full Review

I am looking forward to the upcoming crossover with the X-Men, and this issue does a fine job setting up the foundation for that event. Other parts of the issue leave a lot to be desired. Read Full Review

The Invincible Iron Man #5 is filled with great art, one wow moment with a new type of weapon, and one idea that may or may not have meaning for the future of Iron Man. Everything surrounding that one idea is a lot of slow-moving fluff. If Duggan has a story to tell, it shouldn't take over five issues to get going. Read Full Review

The Stark sentinels are upon us! The covers and promos played up Emma’s role (fortunately), hoping it stays that way because this is a IM comic Tony calling Sunfire by his name was sweet The message from Howard and new element was basically stolen from Iron Man 2 Feilong is such a bastard, I love it! Feilong whopping Tony after Tony’s win was needed to establish him as legitimate threat. Feilong gaining his powers being stated as “Feilong might as well have been alone in a cave” is a neat parallel. The last line about who people will cheer for when they see the Stark sentinels has me looking forward to their reaction. Knowing Marvel’s civilians and how they feel about mutants I can see them cheering for Feilong as t heir saviour. more

This was phenomenal. The writing is incredible. I love how the dialog is written and the story is pretty much a perfect iron man story in my opinion. The last two volumes of iron man have been incredible.

I had many doubts about this run, specially after how food the last run was. But this have been very solid so far...

Another stronger issue for this series. I think Feilong is already a really good villain for Tony, as Duggan handled him very well thus far. I almost forgot that he actually created the character in the first place. Either way, this was good stuff. I thought this was a nice way to wrap up this initial arc while also maintaining Feilong as an overarching threat throughout this run.

Feilong feels like much more of a threat this issue, and I appreciate Duggan filling the reader in on some X-Men events. I haven’t kept up with Duggan’s X-Men, and it seems like he’s interweaving his work there pretty heavily with this series. However, so far the series has been able to work as a stand-alone comic, and I don’t feel the need to read the X books. I also enjoyed the joke about Tony’s adoption, it felt like a pretty direct jab at that whole storyline.

not as good as the first issue, but far from the worst issue. This is another good series from Gerry Duggan

And here comes the downside of using Feilong as the big bad: Tony Stark's stuck batting clean-up on the author's dangling X-Men plot threads. Oh, he gets a nibble at a bit of Iron Man backstory--but even that is compromised by mutant business and some crass MCU cribbing. Obviously, I'm not a fan of the content. But I'm satisfied with the storytelling; it's a well-written and well-drawn yarn.
