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

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.

The individual scenes here are pretty good. They're paced and drawn nicely, each of them satisfying.

The logic that should lead from plot point to plot point didn't work so well for me, though. And zooming out to the volume as a whole, I'm not nearly as sure as I want to be that this flashback will fit into the big picture jigsaw later on.

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.

This latest Iron Man comic delves into a chapter from Tony Stark’s past, but it doesn’t bring anything particularly groundbreaking to the table. The story itself is fairly standard, with no major twists or deep character revelations to elevate it above being just another entry in his saga. That said, there are a few fun moments—classic Stark quips and a couple of cool action scenes—that make it an enjoyable read for casual fans.

Overall, while it doesn’t offer much in terms of fresh material, it’s a decent enough nostalgia trip for longtime Iron Man readers.
