BLAST TO THE PAST!
It's the untold story of Iron Man vs. the West Coast Avengers! But why is he fighting the likes of Wonder Man and Hawkeye? And how do the events of the past affect Tony's future?
Rated T+
Invincible Iron Man #6 is an absolute pleasure to read. Its an issue that celebrates and relishes reliving the past, remembering the teams and relationships at the time. The promotional material superbly uses a red herring to distract from the main event, so there is a world of surprises within. Both fight scenes are delightful, and the art is stunning on every page.

Andrea Di Vito delivers some great art in the issue. I love the retro look of the story and how it beautifully contrasts with the contemporary story. The imagery is beautifully detailed and the action jumps off the page. Read Full Review
It's a fun issue but ultimately unimportant to the ongoing narrative. Read Full Review
The Invincible Iron Man #6 takes a break from the glacially-paced conflict with Feilong to take a trip back to the Silver Centurion days when Iron Man had a run-in with Emma Frost. The Silver Centurion armor looks great, and Tony's fight against a crowd of Spider-Man villains is fun, but this issue appears to serve no purpose other than to provide context for a conflict that will happen in another title in the future.

Though the overarching plot does eventually move forward by the end of the issue, this part of the tale largely focuses on a standalone story. Because of that, this read could be a hit with those that have a soft spot for all things Marvel 80s and 90s. Read Full Review
Not sure how this plays into the current day stuff, beyond the obvious, but it was a fun issue.

I'm not entirely sure how much of this will end up being important down the line, but this was enjoyable nonetheless. Vito does a nice job filling in for Juan Frigeri and I think he can be a solid rotating artist for this series. Moving back to the story itself, it was nice to see the silver armor, as well as Wonder Woman and the rest of the West Coast Avengers.
Fun filler with 80's story. Love the silver centurion armor myself, so this story was better to me than some out there who didn't care for it.
This standalone story does little to advance the overarching plot besides adding to Tony’s history with Emma Frost, but it’s a fun throwback to the ‘80s and we get to see some classic character designs. A pretty standard filler issue, though not without its charm.
