Rated T+
The only thing that could have kept this from being perfect is just the thought that whatever happened here will have to be put on hold for Civil War II. Hard to say that with the conclusion of Invincible Iron Man #11 we will continue with the self-contained story this has been since issue #1, but if it will there will be no reason for Invincible Iron Man not to be on your pull-list till the relaunch.

This wasn't necessarily a bad book, per se. It had all the right moving parts, but it was bit like your favorite soda without the fizz. Read Full Review
This was a solid conclusion to Iron Man's Japan adventure, with the interesting twist that everything didn't go as planned. Read Full Review
I would have liked to see more characterization with Mary Jane Watson and Riri Williams. Despite her bigger role, there is not much reasoning given for Mary Jane's role in the company as Tony's representative. I wish Mary Jane had a clear motivation for her to get her on board. As for Riri, she only gets a few panels to show off her skills with an Iron Man suit. She is set to become the new Iron Man somewhere down the line, so I am surprised to see so little of her in the issue. Read Full Review
Invincible Iron Man #11, as an eventual part of a collection, will stand as a well-produced finale of a complete arc, but as a single issue, it still leaves much to be desired. Read Full Review
My opinion of Bendis's ability to tell a story is not in doubt. But I do feel that this story needed more time to reach its conclusion. Read Full Review
This series has lost far too much of the polish and sense of fun it boasted in the early months of All-New, All-Different Marvel. This issue delivers too little payoff to an overly long storyline, coasting by mainly on the strength of the character interaction between Tony and his fellow Avengers. Can Civil War II give Invincible Iron Man the boost it needs? Read Full Review
The artwork for us was just plain alright – there's no particular terrible aspects but it doesn't quite suit the theme and tone of the comic. It's heavily computer orientated, which is fine, but when any action occurs the characters just seem a bit flat and static. Read Full Review
To sum things up, we have a conclusion to an Iron Man story arc that involved very little Iron Man, but plenty of cameos, a Tony Stark who can't be his clever charming self, and a threat that was interesting at first, but who literally just disappears into the background with little resolution by the story's end. If any of that intrigues you or you're looking for one of the last stories featuring War Machine then I guess this might be for you. I just feel like this series has taken a complete 180 from how it began in the first arc (issues 1 – 5) and that's not something working in its favor. Read Full Review
Great series
I love banter between Tony and Rhodey. Also Kamala.
I just wish it ran with the same timing as the summer event. Like why is Rhodes still alive??? Uggh but whatever. Kind of an awkward ending. Nothing was really resolved. I'm loving Deodato's art this time around it's more precise.
