Finally Iron Man doesn't suck anymore, those first 5 issue were painful. Issue 6 started to improve, but now that we see what's going on, I'm fully on board for Tony Starks current adventures. Read Full Review

Let's be honest, here... this isn't a deep or a brilliant story and that clearly isn't what Gillen's aiming for. It seems as though he's seeking to create a fun adventure for Shellhead and so far I'd say he's succeeding. Gillen manages to juggle proper story development and levity quite well and, for the first time, I'm actually excited to read next month issue. Additionally, I think I'm not the only one who's very curious to see how Tony will join the Guardians of the Galaxy. Read Full Review

Iron Man in the Marvel NOW era has managed to be fairly entertaining despite Land and a general feeling of directionlessness, and hopefully, the space-faring fun keeps on keepin' on with it's Trekky self. Read Full Review

Like with issue #6, the visuals are more notable for the strong, varied use of color than the actual pencils. No matter their gender, race, or now even species, Greg Land's characters all look like pretty, chiseled fashion models. Considering the premise of this arc, there should be far more diversity to the character designs. The action is generally depicted well, but this series really needs a fresh visual approach if it's going to reach its full potential. Read Full Review

Regardless of everything I just said the cover says it all. Once this is over couldn't you just see Stark relishing having the title of Godkiller? Read Full Review

Gillen and Land wrap up "Iron Man" #7 with a fun moment that both digs up a character from mothballs and also ups the ante a great deal for the conclusion. It's a cliffhanger that works quite well, and it's the little boost of energy that the comic needed after getting a little tired in the middle. All in all, not bad. Read Full Review

It's like everyone shares the exact same facial features. It's a good thing the Shi'ard all have starkly (get it?) contrasting skin colors or there'd be no way to tell them apart. Read Full Review

The idea of Tony Stark being tried by an alien race for the murder of the Phoenix is a great idea in theory but suffers a little in practice. There's no actual Iron Man action, and precious little evidence of the genius of the man inside the armour. When you remove all that, what exactly is Tony Stark? Just a man. A man, in this case, who's going through the motions of a few convenient plot contrivances and overused sci-fi tropes. It's inoffensive enough, but the whole 'Iron Man in Space' concept is quickly squandering its potential. Let's get this arc out the way and then we'll see if Iron Man's worth keeping or dropping from the Pull List. Read Full Review

If you can get past the visual flaws (like Stark's cell being a mostly-featureless empty room or the fact that the brief appearance of The Scarlet Witch and Hope Summers gives them identical pnuematic porn-star bodies), there's a lot to like here. Iron Man IN SPAAACE is something we haven't seen before, and the idea of Tony crossing paths with the renewed Guardians of The Galaxy, as promised by the solicits, is one that I wholeheartedly want to enjoy. It's just that art... Iron Man #7 reads well, is paced okay, and even has some excellent moments plotwise (as he fights off each opponenent, Tony is declared not guilty of another of the court's charges against him), but looks alternately bland and traced, earning a very conflicted 2.5 out of 5 stars overall. I can't help but wonder how kinetic and awesome the visuals for this issue could have been under the pen of previous artist Salvador Larrocca... Read Full Review
