Rated T+
Patch 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
This 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
Zircher delivers some beautifully detailed and richly emotional art in the issue. The nightmare sequence was visually immersive and engaging. Read Full Review
Invincible 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
Another great issue!
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.
Art: 4/5
Story: 3.5/5
Total: 7.5/10
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.

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.
