Di Vito delivers some beautifully detailed and visually compelling art throughout the issue. I really connected with the character designs and the emotive faces. A wonderful looking issue that teases some great action and visual thrills to come. Read Full Review

Overall, this got me a bit more curious to see what the future holds for Tony Stark. Read Full Review

Invincible Iron Man #14 feels way too bogged down with plot, even if it does look gorgeous. Hopefully the next issue, which is slated to focus on War Machine, is more focused. Read Full Review

Invincible Iron Man #14 delivers an Ironheart/Forge-centric issue that realigns Riri's status quo and sets up the forthcoming O-Day attack. The Mysterium Armada looks good, possibly hinting at a Voltron-style capability, and seeds are planted for the battle to come, but Tony Stark barely appears in his comic, which makes this issue feel like a shoehorned opportunity to sloppily reset Ironheart.

This wasn't my favorite issue, but it was still a fairly fun time. I think Duggan wrote the dynamic between Riri and Forge well here, though I wasn't ready for almost the entire issue to be about them. The story with the rings was intriguing, but it didn't do as much as other things in this series. Also, I quickly wanted to point out something about the final page of this issue. I can't believe that we're, possibly, FINALLY following up on that Wolverine tease from Issue 22 of Duggan's current X-Men run. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go and read that issue. It's pretty good, in my opinion, and it brings up a really interesting idea about Wolverine's corpses from multiple deaths in the past falling into the wrong hands and being used by villains, if I'm remembering correctly. I thought this was super cool, but the series hasn't done anything to follow up on it from what I remember. Now, nine months later, it seems we're getting that follow-up...in Invincible Iron Man instead of X-Men. I'd rather get a follow-up on it in a different series than not get any at all, but it's just a little odd to me. more

I feel like it's losing steam a little bit in #14, but this is the most I've ever enjoyed an Iron Man book on the whole.

Oh shoot…are Tony and Emma actually becoming a thing?!?! Things got spicy and it didn’t feel contrived. I’ve loved these two together as one of Marvel’s premiere power couples and I wouldn’t hate seeing them together after Krakoa ends. These two actually only have a small role in this issue, with the majority of it focused on Ironheart and Forge looking the mission to build Tony’s new ships. I was shocked at how much I liked this pairing, especially during the character moments when Forge played more of a mentor role and helped Riri work through her relationship with the Ten Rings. Duggan moves the story along at breakneck speed to the point where it felt like someone pressed the fast forward button and we just jumped past things. For a series where it took multiple issues to tell the story of Tony & Emma’s relationship, we somehow get an entire fleet of spaceships built in the span on a few panels. Whatever Tony is planning is likely to have a major impact on the downfall of Orchis after its been mentioned in more than one of this week’s titles (the Firestar/Nimrod convo also occurs in X-Men #30). I’m looking forward to seeing this all play out. more
