THE FIRST ACT OF "THE BOOKS OF KORVAC" REACHES ITS STUNNING CONCLUSION!
It's put up or shut up time with KORVAC as the android mastermind begins the next phase of his ascent toward absolute power, and IRON MAN begrudgingly decides to finally ask for help. But...from who? As he takes charge of new allies and tries to use HELLCAT's weakened state to his advantage, Tony Stark might instead risk everyone's life including his own, especially when he confronts Korvac himself, one on one.

ComicBook.com - Jenna Anderson"
Jan 07, 2021The script"especially juxtaposed with Cafu's art and Frank D'Armata's colors"turns into a moody, weird, and brilliant story, one that shows just what Iron Man is capable of as a Marvel title and a Marvel character. Read Full Review

Jan 13, 2021Okay, so this is the end of the first arc, and in the world of trade-waiting, some people wait until this point to check out a series. If you are one of these people, you need to read this book. This is a creative team working at the highest level to create a run on a character that we will be talking about for years to come. And thats not an if, anymore. Its a fact. This is easily the best the character has been since Matt Fractions character-defining stint, and Cantwell is already reaching the highs of that run. If this book keeps on at its current level, we might be looking at one of the best Iron Man series of all time. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Jan 06, 2021Cafu delivers some stunning art throughout this issue. There isn't a lot of action, but the art does a great job of focusing on the characters and the style of the art perfectly captures the mood of the story. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Jan 06, 2021Iron Man #5 is a slow-building issue that has a heartbreaking twist. The second half of the comic is an intense confrontation that will change the course of the series. There are more characters added to the series, and it is always interesting to see smaller heroes get a chance of exposure inside a bigger book. But Hellcat continues to be the star of the comic. Iron Mans actions within the book may have made the reader much less sympathetic to his problems. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Jan 09, 2021The fun ragtag team put together for this storyline doesn't get much use, but it's still an otherwise solid part of this ongoing story. Read Full Review

I really like how Tony is written here. The art is great. I just wish that this series came out more often. I don't want to fuck with the pacing, because I think the slower pace is beneficial. But I still want more.

This just keeps getting better with each issue. I'm loving the art and the overall writing on this book. Hoping the second arc will be even better.

Tony collects a z-list crew of allies and races to confront Korvac. That suits the baddy's schemes; he wants to settle his Iron Man hash before leaving Earth. It looks gorgeous and the plot is moving quickly now. The script's character work is a mixed bag. Not all of it works, but the parts that do -- like Patsy's torment -- work very, very well.

Probably the best issue in the series so far. It felt like it had more substance. Cafu is also a great artist that really fits iron man.

Its not the best comic out right now but its not the worst. This is my first Iron Man title I have read regularly...so far I like it enough to keep reading but this is for from an excellent comic and has some really stale moments.

I just feel nothing for this book. I hope I get to see Cafu in another book down the road.

Iron Man Volume: 6, Issue: 5 LGY: 630 "Bravest of the Argives" Publisher: @marvel Writer: @ifyoucantwell Artist: @cafucomic Colorist: @fgdcolor Cover: @thealexrossart Letterer: @joecaramagna Korvac has returned in android form and is extremely powerful. After luring Iron Man and Hellcat into a trap and nearly ending their lives, Korvac is now able to connect with Hellcat telepathically. Korvac is also holding James Rhodes hostage and will kill him if Tony raises the alarm. In an attempt to keep things quiet, Iron Man and Hellcat assemble a team of not so popular heroes to stop Korvac's plan to travel to Galactus' worldship, Taa II. This was yet another slow pacing issue. Iron Man and Hellcat's team is nothing to re more
