This series is one that I was nervous about going into. I knew that it would be tied into the events of the Mutant story lines and I am years behind on those titles. I was concerned that Iron Man would be a supporting character in the own book. However, this creative team has crafted a story that has captivated me and proven that, not only is this an Iron Man focused story, but it is shaping up to be one of my favorite runs of my favorite character! Please, if you are an Iron Man fan, do not miss this series. Read Full Review

The Invincible Iron Man #9is an engrossing read. With such an epic story building, it's astonishing that Gerry Duggan and Juan Frigeri have kept up this building momentum in such a calculated and engaging way. This is a definite must read for Iron Man fans, as well as those swept up in the Fall of X. Read Full Review

Frigeri delivers great art throughout the issue. The story is character focused and the art exemplifies that with great shots of the characters interacting. A great looking issue. Read Full Review

At this rate, it's almost sadistic for what Duggan is making the character endure, but hopefullyjust hopefullythe payoff happens before the gloominess runs stale. Read Full Review

Invincible Iron Man #9 wrestles with the fallout of the Hellfire Gala but refocuses on Tony Stark at one of his lowest points ever. The “let's break Tony” trope is becoming tiresome, but credit to Duggan for making it smart, interesting, and painful. Double kudos to Frigeri for gritty, emotional art. Read Full Review

Duggan’s Iron Man is one of the strongest in the Fall of X arc.

Feilong is such a bastard, I love it. Tony saying he’s gonna get demonic on his ass was great

I love how Tony and Emma can be vulnerable, open up & support to each other. Them making a blood pact in the hell that Orchis has constructed is really cool.

I’m a riding the Tony and Emma ship. I want to see the Enemies to lovers with them

This continues to be a very consistently fantastic book! I love how much emotion and heart is in this story. The writing is phenomenal and the artwork is equally impressive matching the tone of the plot perfectly

I've never considered this volume a good Iron Man story. But it's turning into one of the author's best X-Men stories, and it's a very good comic in general.

The art is great, and there's some real emotional depth in the dialogue. Emma+Tony is making more and more sense and getting more interesting with each issue.

This ties up a lot of the loose plot threads left flapping after the Hellfire Gala. While the big picture resolves into clarity (at last!), I won't extend too much retroactive credit. The loose ends were more frustrating than intriguing before they were tied up (and I'm sticking with my resolve to judge each comic I read by itself).

This series would fit better with the other X-Books (and Avengers) if its issues came out just a little bit earlier.

I wasn't as into this as the previous two issues, but it was still good stuff. Tony and Emma as a, potential, couple is certainly an interesting direction. I don't have a strong opinion on it currently, so we'll just have to see how things progress in that department. Aside from that, Duggan continues to write Tony well and I think he's done a nice job of balancing this as an Iron Man series and a Fall of X series.

Too heavily connected with other series and it feels weird to read.
