Rated T+
The Invincible Iron Man #3 is a terrific comic book. Its a comic that can tell interesting stories filled with weight and manipulations but also knows how to have fun. Duggan completely understands the fact that these are men wearing metal armours and slugging it out, and the battles theyve been having embrace the epic level those can reach. That mix of mystery and action is being balanced well, and the art is so stunning that either looks glorious. Read Full Review
Frigeri offers some great art in the issue. The character designs are great and I really enjoyed the thrilling visuals in the action scenes. Read Full Review
In a run thats hit the right notes in the first two issues, hit a road bump with this issue. The character Duggans using missed the mark, as I really dont have the connection to him that we should. Duggan needs to get a better handle on Tony and Rhodey, because it felt cold and sterile. The issue overall felt more like a filler issue to pad a trade for the story, but Frigeris are really pulled things together. Read Full Review
I guess what ultimately worries me the most about Invincible Iron Man #3 is that Duggan is supposed to be guiding us through a mystery. A whose done it kind of story. In that sense, we need context clues. So, if this issue focused on Zhong and LMDs, how is this supposed to point us to Feilong? My point is: it shouldnt! Hes a mutant hater trying to take over Mars. What does this have to do with Tony? Therefore, Im more on the fence that Feilong is a red herring. And if not, Ill have some issues with THIS specific issue. Thus, my review hangs more on the balance of the future than the present. Right now, it feels like an average story that kept my interest enough. However, if later we find out something deeper involving these LMDs and Zhong, that very well could escalate my review of this issue immensely. Otherwise, we will have to wait to find out!

The Invincible Iron Man #3 manages to balance the tone of the series nicely with dynamic scenes showing how Tony Stark is slowly rebuilding his life. Read Full Review
Hopefully the flashback in this issue comes to matter more down the line, otherwise this is a good, enjoyable team up between Iron Man and War Machine. Read Full Review
So far, however, the story has been pretty safe and Stark is living up to expectations. That said, little has been done to set this particular run apart from the others since the title's first issue last year began to change the status quo. Read Full Review
The Invincible Iron Man #3 reveals all the answers behind the mysterious attacks on Tony Stark, and the answers may (or may not) shock you. The dialog-heavy issue is executed well, and the art is solid, but the big reveal feels like Duggan is recycling older material. Read Full Review
This is such a fantastic book! There is such a wonderful layer of heart and humanity to this story. The dialog is written incredibly well. I love this story and am really looking forward to the next chapter
This could be potentially amazing!
Another good read. Frigeri's art continues to deliver and I think Duggan's story is progressing nicely. I liked seeing Riri in the previous issue and I'm glad we get Rhodey in this one. Duggan writes the two of them well together, in my opinion. Also, I thought the ending of this issue was cool, with the imposter Tony's skin literally melting in front of Tony and Rhodey.
I love how much of a goofball Tony is in flashbacks.
There's nothing criminally wrong with either the story or the way it's told. But nothing very exciting, either. This would be fine and dandy as a limited miniseries or a supporting series. As the flagship Iron Man title, though, it's a bit feeble.
