With a character like Iron Man, who’s home is Earth, it’s fun to see him thrust into spatial situations among the stars & alien cultures. After the first mediocre story arc entitled “Believe”, I think a space opera storyline is just what this series needed. Kudos! Read Full Review

So far 'The Godkiller' is off to an enjoyable but somewhat slow start. If you dropped the book because you weren't feeling the last story arc, then I'd say go ahead and give this issue an honest chance. If you don't like it, then so be it and apologies for making you spend $3.99 (seriously, Marvel?). But, I think there's enough here to warrant giving the series a second shot. Plus, we know he's going to encounter The Guardians of the Galaxy soon, so that's absolutely something else to look forward to. Read Full Review

This issue really should have been #1, but it still works as a great jumping on point for new readers. Lets hope that the development of this new race, as well as the character development of Tony, keep going in the same direction as in this issue. Read Full Review

This was a huge improvement over the first 5 issues of Iron Man, and while it's still not perfect it's still better. Not much action happens in this issue, but we see where Tony is and what he's doing. It's also the setup for this whole Godkiller story arc, and while I'm a bit tired of the Phoenix at this point I'm going to stick around and see how this plays out. Read Full Review

So it's good. As a 'jumping on point' it performs its task admirably, and I'm interested to see where it goes from here. And yet"I have to say, I was expecting more. I liked the preceeding five issues of Iron Man well enough, but agreed with the general criticism brought against them; for a relaunched title their heavy emphasis on Extremis left them manacled to the events of the past. In some ways it would have made more sense for Marvel to have released those chapters as a bridging mini-series perhaps, and left this star-trekking status quo as the star of the relaunch proper. But would even that have shaken the feeling that this is a case of the Emperor's new clothes? Only time – and an impending case of inter-stellar court justice – will tell. Read Full Review

This was a pretty good comic.  Kieron Gillen seems to have a good feel for Tony's voice, which is a good thing since most of this comic was just Tony and the alien princess chatting.  The story looks like it has some good potential, as it makes sense that some civilizations WOULD worship a cosmic force like the Phoenix.  It'll be interesting to see how Tony beats this particular charge.

This series has yet to display the ambition or clear, focused direction needed to rival the best Marvel NOW! titles. But now that the first story arc is out of the way, Gillen is more free to focus on the fun and adventure that come from being Iron Man. That's a quality we've seen precious little of in the past decade. Read Full Review

Honestly, I wouldn't say this issue is worth the cover price. Read Full Review
