Iron Man #8

Yes, this Iron Man issue might not actually have Iron Man in it"but it still proves to be one of the most stellar installments this run has had thus far. Read Full Review

This is just a phenomenal single issue and I honestly recommend those who have struggled with some of the issues Ive mentioned above read this. This issue tackles a difficult subject matter, but does so in a way that keeps a sense of hope, and thats one of this books true strengths. Pick this one up. Its something special. Read Full Review

Unzueta delivers some impressive art throughout the issue. The characters look amazing and the details in the art are fantastic. Read Full Review

Iron Man #8 continues to develop Patty Walker in interesting ways, moving the plot forward just enough to keep things moving along. Readers might be surprised Hellcat has taken over their Iron Man book, but given how important she is to this story and to Iron Man it continues to improve upon a great story. Read Full Review

Iron Man #8 is pretty much skippable for anyone who's not interested in Hellcat, or at least how Christopher Cantwell writes her. This issue is basically her story. As usual, the art and colors are great. Meanwhile, the story is okay but could be potentially divisive because of its subject matter. The overarching story with Korvac doesn't exactly move forward that much and will start up again in the next issue. Read Full Review

Im severely disappointed with the direction this book has gone. Issue one had me so excited to hang out in the new, stripped down, gritty world of people-level Tony Stark. What weve got now by issue eight, is a boring, shallow romp through space with Frog-Man, I guess. But hey, theres always next arc. Read Full Review

Christopher Cantwell shifts the focus entirely on Patsy Walker, and while her fans may appreciate it, it was a miss for me. Stories focusing on mental health are challenging since we all have different experiences, but this felt rushed and oversimplified. Besides that, it didn't progress the overall plot much, and as Patsy said herself, “Where the Hell is Tony?” Read Full Review

Not much story progression in this issue, just a trip down memory lane for Patsy Walker. Read Full Review

This issue didn't have Tony Stark in it at all! Despite this, I still enjoyed it. In fact, it's probably my favorite issue of the run so far. What can I say? When you see that little blurb about the suicide hotline at the end of an issue, you know it's going to be good. The art was certainly different, but they did their best to maintain the tone and look of CAFU's art. I'm glad because I was really worried about the art element. And I guess I should address people who think Christopher Cantwell is just trying to write a Hellcat book under the guise of an Iron Man book... That's not how comics work. You don't pitch for an Iron Man book and make it about Hellcat. And if you play that 4D chess of pretending it's an Iron Man book until you get it and *then* turn it into a Hellcat book, the editors don't just stop paying attention once your pitch is approved. It's just kind of an asinine assumption to make. more

Another great issue. The art is gorgeous, MoonDragon was running shit like this was GOTG and Hellcat did a demonstration of inner/shadow work in such a simplified manner, anyone reading this should put their spiritual coach back on the unemployment line. This just needed more than one panel of Misty Knight though. Because let's be real as far as bionic arms go, Bucky can stick his where the sun don't shine in comparison to the Hero For Hire / Daughter of Liberty looking like she came off the set of a Roy Ayers scored joint. How can such good come from a book without one panel featuring the the titluar character? This is how : - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard

Really enjoying this run, and let's face it. Patsy Walker is a much more interesting character than Tony Stark.

It took Patsy to the end to answer the question playing on my mind "where the hell is Tony?" Art was beautiful as always. The colours used in Hellcat's high school felt vibrant and youthful. This was pretty good, my gripe is Hellcat shouldn't have a entire issue focus on her. Pepper, Rhodey or even Halycon that's cool since they're his support cast. Not another superhero

I quite enjoyed the Journey to the Centre of the Patsy.

"Where the hell is Tony" This was more of a Hellcat issue, since Iron Man doesn't actually appear in it. Which is fine I guess since she's Tony's main supporting character in this book. The plot didn't really advance much, it was mostly exposition of Hellcat's history and her learning to overcome trauma. But if she's gonna be a main character in Cantwell's Iron Man, I guess it's ok to have an issue like this. Also worth noting, Angel Unzueta did a solid job filling in for Cafu.

Cantwell's doing a stealth Hellcat book in this one, and I'm fine with that. Not sure whether this was needed for the full issue, but it was a good read.

Average comic.. not great...this arc is more complex then it really needs to be too many subplots and characters going on for me. The thing I really enjoyed about this title are starting to slip away.

Tony enjoys a bye month and Patsy goes on a voyage of psychic self-discovery while the rest of the cast acts out a feeble knockoff of the Millennium Falcon space battle* from the original Star Wars. The guest art is stiff and the dialogue is awash in cliches. Still, I love Patsy Walker nearly as much as Mr. Cantwell does, so the basic psychological insights into her character delivered a fair amount of reading satisfaction. * I'm genuinely surprised that nobody told the Scarlet Spider not to get cocky.

This was very bad, good idea, awful execution. Also no Cafu which is a clear minus though the artist did an okay job. Don't let yourself be deceived by the cover, Iron Man doesn't appear at all in this book because Cantwell is actually trying to sell a Hellcat book under a more succesful name.

I can't say I really liked any of this, except the art which wasnt even CAFU but, a pretty good stand in. I always try to be positive with my reviews and I honestly dont give low scores too often but this was a dud. If this arc doesnt have a decent ending I'm off this series.
