Okay, 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

Cafu 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

The 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

Iron 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

Amazing run.

Very good issue.

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.

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.

Cafu's the perfect artist for Iron Man

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.

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 really get excited about either. However, I am a fan of the Scarlet Spider but his role as well as the others was nothing to write home about. This Iron Man run really has not been fun or interesting. Additionally, Cantwell is not doing any favors for newer reader of Iron Man as well. Korvac is not very well known amongst newer readers and in my opinion it’s harder to keep their interest in the character. The extremely slow pacing of this story just leaves me bored. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion but this run has been boring. With the exception of the amazing artwork, there’s not much here that keeps me interested.
