Depending on tastes, and despite the usual problems with single-issue storytelling, this is a near-perfect comic book. It has humor, incredible stakes, great dialogue, a surprise ending, and many personal character moments. You'll need to have read the entire series to get the full scope of each moment, and this is slower, more cinematic storytelling, but for what it's trying to achieve it works impeccably well. Iron Man #7 efficiently juggles spectacle, stakes, sharply written characters, and sci-fi. Read Full Review

Cafu delivers some beautifully detailed art. The characters and settings are filled with beautiful details and the art does a brilliant job of matching and elevating the tone of the story. Read Full Review

Cantwell's Tony Stark knows his limits, but still feels like Iron Man, while CAFU can even make Frog-Man look cool. Well worth your time. Read Full Review

Cantwell creates scenes that explore the vulnerability of Tony and Patsy in this series. While this issue focuses more on their telepathic confrontation with Korvac, we still see glimpses of that through interactions. This issue begins to show Hellcat that she can work to get the upper edge on Korvac through Tonys support even if he keeps blocking their attempts for the time being. This creative team flourishes in storytelling and beautiful art. Read Full Review

Iron Man #7 slows down for a moment to give its characters (and readers) a chance to breathe. This is no bad thing, thanks to thoughtful writing and still-gorgeous art. There's plenty of new information to chew on here. This isn't a "hop on" episode or a "prove why this title is great" issue, but it should be eminently satisfying to readers who have already put their faith in this talented creative team.

If you like Iron Man, Marvel cosmic, and if you love Star Trek (given some of the ideas and imagery this book is playing with) then you should be reading this. Its brilliantly written, amazingly drawn, and nothing suggests that this book can be anything less moving forwards. Read Full Review

Final Thoughts:Iron Man #7 takes the desperate space chase and throws a big monkey wrench in the works. The existential discussion about the meaning of life was interesting, if a bit out of place, and the twist at the end is a true surprise leaving you to wonder what happens next. Read Full Review

More set up for the big confrontation to come, buoyed by some solid talking heads. Read Full Review

Iron Man #7 tries to up the stakes and show what Iron Man and the whole cosmos has to lose if Korvac wins and it's pretty underwhelming. As usual, the art by Cafu with D'Armata's colors is great, but the rest of the comic feels like it's padding itself out before reaching the parts people actually want to see. If you're a fan of this series then you'll like this. If not, then it won't be convincing you anytime soon. Like Cantwell's Dr. Doom series, this might be a series that's best read after it's finished. Read Full Review

Cafu delivers again.

Yeah, I'm still liking this book a lot.

Best issue yet. Has everything you could want.

Touches on philosophy and science. Korvac's goal seems fresh even thought we've heard similar ultimatums before. The B team is surprisingly great, would read a whole book of these guys working together. The scene with Ben Reilly stating his observation of the purely scientific, algorithmic nature of our existence and Frog Man clapping back by pointing out that he's a clone from a test tube was brilliant.

Tony sounds right here and Patsy and he are a surprisingly strong couple. The art is absolutely gorgeous, all I would request is that CAFU used more chroma in his coloration and this book would truly pop. But man, hes good.

Issue had a lot of good stuff, high recommendation from me. more

I don’t know I feel like I could get behind being a mindless crystalline creature just up to nothing all day...

In the quiet moment before the big confrontation, Tony's D-list team waxes philosophical. He and Patsy have a momentous psychic meeting with Korvac, finally revealing his big utopian plan. And then the big space dogfight starts. Solid story developments, sound character work, and gorgeous art here. I think there's room for a little more je ne sais quoi in the prose, though.

Comedy, existential postulating , and rising action : even in the filler issues, Cantwell's run on Iron Man is the most entertaining I have read since I started buying comics when I hit middle school and Iron Man was still the SHIELD director !

Best issue yet and it's a bit late for me since it took us a while to get here. It's already off my pull list (twice now during this run and for the last time). I wish Cantwell didn't take so long to develop this arc. This needs 6 issues at best. I love the surprise ending but I guess I'll never know now. Cafu is the only thing that made me stick with book and he delivers spectacularly tight art and D'Armatta colors were very nice yet again! Too bad.

Art on this book is incredible and I will admit this issues writing was a lot of what I like a out this title. Sadly I find myself yearning for these characters to enter a new story arc. I find this one to be worn down and only getting more off course for me.

While I found this to be a bit weaker than the previous issues, I'm still loving this book. This issue was slightly slower and slightly wordier, but it's incredibly well-written.

The art is really the selling point of this book. I enjoy this series to an extent overall but it ways feels like it could be more.

This series has lost me. While the art & the writing quality remains excellent, the story has taken a dive. It's too preachy. This book has extremely clear parallels to religion and faith but it´s not speaking to me. On the contrary, it hinders my enjoyment of the series as I´m just not in the mood for it.
There are also other problems with the story that has started to really annoy me. Tony's character has become increasingly unlikeable & Hellcat got the shaft once again.
I can see why others like this issue and rate it so high, but I personally cannot do this.
