Rated T+
As divided as fans seem to be on Riri Williams, the landscape of Iron Man comics is better now than it was before Bendis first handled an arc reactor. It'll be interesting to see where these characters go with a new writer behind the wheel. Read Full Review
Alex Meleev's unconventional art in this portion of the comic has been some of the most impressive and fun to look at in my entire pull list. Stefano Caselli has had a more traditional design in the main story and it is easy to overlook alongside Meleev but it is some clean, impressive work. I'm looking forward to these two stories to blend into something magical. Read Full Review
I just love Riri/ Hologram Tony banter.
Best issue of the arc so far. It was well written and had great parts to it. I love the Doom parts and the art for his pages are fantastic.
This issue looks pretty and is interesting, even if it feels a bit like treading water. I found the opening with Victor and his discovery interesting, but the whole bit with Riri's shit being stolen was kind of pointless. The art from Caselli, and especially Maleev, is pretty great here. And the ending suggests the story will be making a bigger advancement with the next issue--I only hope Bendis has enough time to give this big story he's crafted over the last few years properly.
Riri scores a PR coup over the Stark Enterprises weasels and the Nanny Squad abruptly finds a big lead in the MIA Tony case. Infamous Iron Doom is also there in the form of five desultory pages, three of which are good. The visuals throughout this issue are superb, and the bones of each main plotline are promising; to assemble all this potential and then deliver about eight good pages wrapped in a bunch of tiresome "lazy Bendis" filler is a real shame. A comic that half-satisfies on each of the Riri, Tony, and Doom fronts turns out barely satisfactory overall. This issue is less than the sum of its parts.
So it's my last issue of Invincible Iron Man. I don't care about the return of tony stark.
Like the issue before we have some part with Doom that for me had nothing to do her.
I was more than surprised to see Tony's mother Carry him while he is in a armor. But the fact that's a dream explain a lot. The only part I like is about Riri but she didn't have much place and that was very interesting.
Cover - Seems in link to the intérior, but not fund of the art. 1.5/2
Writing - Bendis doing "Empty Bendis" work ... Not interesting at all 1/3
Arts - Caselli & Maleev do the trick. 2/3
Feeling - Shame that Riri have not the right of a title for her without doom or the real tony. 0/2
RiRi has been terrible enough but the whole mom thing is cringeworthy.
