With Invincible Iron Man, Matt Fraction has distilled Tony Stark down to what is vitally cool about the character in 2008 and built a solid foundation with it. It's easily become one of my favorite Marvel books on the stands. Read Full Review

For the most part I love this new series. As with nearly every character he touches, Fraction displays an innate understanding of Iron Man and his world. But as long as the art continues to look like this, the book will be forever held back from true greatness. Hopefully Marvel addresses the problem in one way or another. Read Full Review

I'm going to start this with the most obvious and recognizable mechanic at work in this book, or most any comic book for that matter: the art. Larocca and Darmata produce some of the most well polished, detailed and refined work in any book you'll likely find on Marvel's shelf. With every fight scene and every dialogue exchange, Larocca manages to create the sense of the epic that one will be hard-pressed to match. For the most part, even the small and relatively simple panels look great: Read Full Review

Invincible Iron Man #2 was a fun read. Fraction is delivering a story that certainly has mass appeal, is easy to read and is particularly new reader friendly. Fraction is making Invincible Iron Man an accessible read for anyone who loved the Iron Man movie and then decided to give this comic book a try. I have a feeling that Invincible Iron Man will turn out to be much more popular than Iron Man Director of SHIELD. I would expect to see Iron Man Director of SHIELD get cancelled within a year or so.

Art-wise, the entire book is a delight. There is a risk that the colouring which is heavily paint-like will stiffen the storytelling, but Larroca,s dynamic posing and effective use of iron Man allows the work to breathe like a comic book instead of a photo novel. Read Full Review

Jam-packed with story, complex themes, and strong characters, "Invincible Iron Man" is the Iron Man comic you've been waiting to read, whether you knew you were waiting for an Iron Man comic or not. This is the one. Especially if you can forgive the ever-shifting faces. Read Full Review

With several continuity blunders that several scenes are built on, I'm not inclined to give it a Must Read, but, if you're a new Iron Man reader, I'd imagine this issue would be more than adequate for your tastes and probably a Must Read issue with ease. I suspect Extremis will be on the way out and we'll see a return to classic Tony postSecret Invasion to play more into this title's strengths. Read Full Review
