    Overall this issue had a strong start to what has been hyped as the biggest Iron Man story of all time. The story did a good job of setting up the mystery of what has happened to Tony Stark and it gave a good update on where are main heroes, Riri and Doom are at this point. Read Full Review

    In our first search for Tony Stark, we get a stuffed and complex issue. Most of it works, some of it is gently touched upon. Still, the art helps make this a worthy first issue of this inevitable story arc. Read Full Review

    Comic books are always best when there's an element of mystery. There's a lot more going on here than just bringing Tony Stark back eventually, Invincible Iron Man promises to be as grand as Legacy needs it to be. Read Full Review

    Invincible Iron Man #593 has a lot of ground to cover to bring readers up to speed on Brian Michael Bendis' run, and for the most part, it succeeds. Although the double-page spread of Friday delivering an exposition bomb was perhaps not the most elegant solution in the early part of the issue. Read Full Review

    The road to Tony Stark's long-awaited return is off to an effective start, as Bendis does a good job at establishing plenty of early potential for what could be a really interesting arc. Read Full Review

    I was reading this when I stopped and thought just how much I like the cast of this comic, and how great it could be if they keep Victor (and Maleev!) involved in the Iron Man universe. Caselli's art is great, and there is a cool, genuine sense of mystery over where Tony has gone. Strong work.

    Good issue. It sets up all the players for the upcoming arc. I love Doom Iron Man. It was good to see him here. Some of the parts were a little odd and confusing. I would like for someone to explain the ending to me. Not sure I really understood who that was supposed to be. Art was great. Caselli and Maleev are very good at what they do and both draw the characters they are used to, Caselli (RiRi), Maleev (Doom). I thought that was a really cool way to do that.

    Interesting intro, but it was just a intro. Stefano should do art for all of the Marvel universe.

    The Stark Women find out Tony is missing and all of Infamous Iron Doom's captured supervillains have busted out of prison. I said recently that even when he's on cruise control, Brian Michael Bendis is still good, but this issue's script was apparently designed to make me look like an idiot for saying that. Terribly slow pacing, go-nowhere dialogue, erratic characterization, bonafide typos (a shocking lot of them) - how did things go so wrong so fast? How did Mr. Bendis lose Doom's voice *completely* in the few short weeks since writing him last? Ben Grimm's little speech to him is the *only* nicely-written part of the book. Stefano Caselli and Alex Maleev do triage by supplying some very strong art, but this issue is too far gone to get pu more

    That was a little disappointing for me. I expected more (I see a review of a french friend & have much more expectation). I find this overrated. The part about Superior Iron Man make no sense here. And I come to read Riri, not doom, not Ben Grimm & even less Tony Stark. So ... I'm not fond of it. Cover - 1/2 Writing - 2/3 Arts - Well a little Shallow ... 2/3 Feelings - Waiting for more now. And It's give the feeling Bendis pack Away Riri 0/2 5/10
