[Anne · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really don't like it when they pad a volume with vaguely related older issues, and that's exactly what they did in this one.
4 Invincible Iron Man issues, and 3 issues of the Mighty Avengers from 2007.
Ehhhhh. Just...no. If you're going to skimp on issues, then at least have the decency to own that shit. You're not fooling anyone by stick a throwaway time travel story about Doom, Stark, and Sentry in the back of this thing.
*farts*



The actual Iron Man stuff was pretty decent, though.
I haven't read Civil War II yet, but I decided to go ahead with this because I already know the spoiler, and Iron Man is one of the few Marvel titles I'm still interested in at this point.



This volume was a tad cryptic, and felt like it was sort of a lead-in for whatever is going to follow with the characters. I'm ok with that. For now, anyway.
Riri seems nice, but I'm not sure if that's a title I want to follow, mainly due to her age. I'm not interested in another too cutesy Batgirl sort of thing. I'm definitely liking where everything is going with Doom, though, and from what I've heard it's good. And, of course, I'd like to keep reading about Tony, so I'm hoping he still has a title somewhere out there after all the dust settles.



The 4 issues I read weren't bad, but they also felt a bit like fluff, you know? Kind of like this was a filler volume till the real story gets rolling.
Still, it's not the worst thing out there.

Tony mopes around for 3 issues, spinning his wheels while he waits to die temporarily in Civil War II. Then Marvel tries to dig the knife in deeper by making you pay for 3 issues from a 10 year old comic that you're better off reading in Mighty Avengers. You couldn't have just added these 3 issues to the last trade Marvel?

[Subham · Rating 2 out of 5]

The first 3 issues are pretty good here and it ties into the Civil war 2 event and we follow Tony as to what he is doing and all dealing with the death of Rhodey and like remembering good times and then we have him and Carol in Alcoholics meeting and them arguing about their stances and it was well done plus him finally meeting Riri and then the series ends with the consequences of Civil war 2 which was weird. Yeah and then pointless backup stories of him vs doom from Mighty avengers that was not needed at all.

Its a weird volume like tieing into the main event so one might say fillers and all but it stretches out character motivations but then you have this weird thing with stories from the past that don't even relate to the present or coming stories in any way and is just pointless. It was disappointing for sure though the art in the 1st 3 issues is amazing. Dark and broody and perfect for this kind of book.

[James DeSantis · Rating 2 out of 5]

What the fucks of fucks was this? Like I OWN Mighty Avengers...why am I reading issues in here? Ones that have NOTHING to do with current Iron man run? Ugh. I get to put filler but this was some ol' bullshit.

The three NEW issues, or current run of Iron-man you get, aren't bad. It's basically Tony dealing with the fallout of his best friends death. Between that and all his friends fighting and Carol being a enemy he's losing himself. He's losing the will to fight. He meets Riri and you can see how much he admires her and feels safe leaving his legacy in her hands. However, everything he's doing feels like he's leaving. He doesn't have much more to give. That's the only way to go really.

What I liked: I really enjoyed the final issue. Riri issue was also solid and good introduction to his relationship with her. The last issue of him dealing with Carol talking it out, commenting how he loves her, but them not giving up who they are or what they are. It was pretty well done and emotional. Oh and Tony going off on Doom was great.

What I didn't like: THe mighty avengers issues were bullshit. On top of that the way they did it with time travel to throw back...so lame. Also the first new issue was kind of boring and didn't really give me much to connect with at the start.

This is a uneven collection. I'm going to go with a 2.5 for the actual book cause it was cheap and rip-offish. The new issues were all around a 3-4, but the package with the MIghty Avengers, not to mention not great issues, brings the overall feel of the volume down.

[Craig · Rating 2 out of 5]

Well, on the good side, it has some very nice art and some cute and clever one-liners. On the other hand, there's no coherence or cohesion or anything like an actual story. Tony's sad because he's losing his money and his company and everyone's mad at him because he pretended he was dead when he went on an undercover mission so he meets a girl who's built an armor suit and her mother and maybe they should get dinner but then he sits on some rubble instead and then he tries to talk to his ex-girlfriend (but she doesn't want anything to do with him) and Hulk and Rhodey are dead and so he goes to an AA meeting and talks to Carol and then his Mom comes to visit and then it says: "To be continued in... Civil War II!" and all I can think of is to quote Axl and say: "I don't need your civil war." Now all of the above is quite thin, so they padded it out by reprinting three old Avengers issues with still more very nice art (though some of it does seem to over sexualize the female forms) with an okay Dr. Doom time travel tale and some of the most impossible-to-read word balloons (who puts micro-sized pale sky blue on blotchy yellow?) and a huge cast of Avengers even though the title of this book says Iron Man. Now, if Marvel really wanted to engage their readers and make them feel like they appreciated the $24.99 said readers are asked to spend on the volume, they'd at least have included a summary of what has gone before, a guide as to what other books have to be read in order to read this book, perhaps a timeline or roster of characters or something... Nope, all you get is "To be continued in... Civil War II!" and some nice art and some clever one-liners. But perhaps they accomplished precisely what they wanted to accomplish, in which case they did it quite well. Excel....(to be continued...)

[Terence · Rating 2 out of 5]

Tony Stark has returned from his undercover mission to find his life in disarray. His company is suffering thanks to his disappearance and believed death.

His love life isn't fairing much better.

Tony also learns about a young woman who made her own armor.

Just as Tony starts putting things back together, Stark tower is leveled.


Invincible Iron Man's Civil War II tie in was just as mediocre as Civil War II. Tony spends most of his time moping and not accomplishing much. Then to top it off the artwork is far from intriguing for me. Everything is dark and shadowy unlike the first volume that was crisp and lifelike. This volume is really unneeded.

[Sesana · Rating 3 out of 5]

As disjointed as Captain Marvel had been, because of the Civil War II stuff, though I don't think it handles it quite as well. That said, both Tony and Carol seem significantly more reasonable here than they have been virtually anywhere else in this event. The scene with Carol and Tony talking outside an AA meeting is one of the best I've seen related to this event. I was hoping to see more of an introduction to Riri, but I guess that'll have to wait until the next Iron Man book. There's actually only three issues here, because this iteration of the title is ending, so it's padded out with a ten year old Doctor Doom story. Normally, I'd be really annoyed at a collection with only three new issues, but if the book is ending, what are you going to do? At any rate, the art is really good, and the whole book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger: what the hell is Doom up to? And because I kind of love Doom, I really want to see that.

[Michael Hicks · Rating 2 out of 5]

This volume of Iron Man serves two purposes: it’s a tie-in to the big Civil War II event, and a finale to this miniseries run of Invincible Iron Man (Marvel refuses to call their series mini-series, but when you only publish 14 issues [or less] before rebooting the series with a new number one, it’s a miniseries).

Collected here are a whopping three issues of the current volume, along with three issues of Mighty Avengers published almost a decade (and roughly 689 relaunches) previously. I didn’t bother reading the Avengers portion of the book, so I cannot comment on their quality.

As for the Iron Man issues...well, there’s some issues. The storylines tying into Civil War II were pretty well done, and there’s some good character work between Stark and Carol Danvers in the final issue. Some pieces of the larger Iron Man story here, such as Stark’s relationships with Riri Williams, Amara, and Doctor Doom, also get moved forward, although the latter segment ends on a huge cliffhanger. All of this, of course, is merely prologue to the launch of two brand new Iron Man books headed by Riri and Doom, respectively. How those books pick up the threads that began here, and are left dangling at the close of both this volume and Civil War II are beyond me (and serve only to muddy Marvel’s reasoning for constantly relaunching everything...why they feel the need to take a long-term story and shoehorn it into events, relaunches, and new title launches is also beyond me.).

[Scott · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disappointing, as the Invincible series runs out of gas before the finish line. Also it was frustrating because what was included in this volume was occasionally really good - specifically Tony and Carol's discussion at their AA meeting, for just one example - but then it abruptly jumps from the title story-line to unrelated prior Avengers issues. So there was a disconnect . . . and yet I didn't completely dislike it, because the Avengers story (Iron Man, Sentry, and Dr. Doom are temporarily thrown back into '77 era NYC) was entertaining, if not entirely necessary. Oh my head.

[Craig · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Iron Man stuff wasn't too bad, although the story just kind of stops midway through issue #12 and pivots over to the Civil War II tie-in. I literally wondered if maybe a page or 2 had been torn out of my volume, because one moment, Tony Stark is talking to Riri Williams and her mother about going out to dinner and the next, Tony is sitting in the ruins of Stark Tower. There's nothing at all connecting these 2 scenes, just, "boom!" and things have changed. Then, after a measly 3 issues of Iron Man, we're treated to 3 old issues of Mighty Avengers that have no connection whatsoever. They only exist to fill out the rest of the pages. Talk about cynical marketing. The first 2 volumes could have featured an extra issue or 2 and there would have been no need for this one at all. Enough with the company-wide crossovers every few weeks Marvel!

[Robert · Rating 3 out of 5]

For me Deodato's art worked a lot better with this much more intimate collection of issues, with the heart-to-heart between Tony Stark and Carol Danvers outside an AA meeting taking the cake. Still, not exactly the sort of thing I sign up for when cracking the cover of an Iron Man book.

[Jesse A · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unfinished for Civil War 2 (which I guess I'll read now). Still good and the art was better than Volume 2. 3.5 stars.

[Mike · Rating 1 out of 5]

Pointless fucking filler. Melancholia, melodrama, boring flashbacks.

[Frédéric · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two reasons for this poor rating:

- More than half the book is ten years old reprint of some Avengers adventure for no other reason than upping the price of the book. Somehow, this pisses me off.

- Though individually not too bad and well illustrated by Mike Deodato the "main" issues give me the nagging impression to be here to pass the time before the 2 new series coming out after this run. I totally disliked the "climatic" ending of issue 13 totally NOT followed-up in issue 14. Makes me feel I've been played for a fool and oddly I don't like that much.

Even if I do appreciate Iron Man these days, a character I never gave much thought about till now, the editorial work on the series sucks big time. The way it concludes is disappointing to say the least and seems to be done only to unsettle the reader, a very strange marketing tactic indeed.

[Dominique · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed seeing more of Tony's side in the Civil War II events.
This rating is for those 3 comics, I didn't end up reading the other comics in the collection because they weren't apart of this comic run and I had no interest in them 😂🤷‍♀️

[Annye Driscoll · Rating 1 out of 5]

Well, here it is. The final book in my huge project to read the entire Civil War II in trade paperback form.

And – what a surprise! – it was a huge disappointment.

It’s a disappointment mostly because Invincible Iron Man: Civil War II feels like a ripoff. I thought I was going to get explanations, a bit of a wrap-up for Tony, and a natural mantle hand-off from him to Riri (the new Iron Man). Instead, this book only has three modern issues. The other three included issues are TEN YEARS OLD. Can you imagine spending $25 on this book, only to get no resolution and only three modern comics?

Once again, I’m left asking myself – am I not supposed to read this event? Because I am a “patient reader” – I get my comics in trade form and from the library – am I not supposed to be able to read or enjoy events? That’s a tough sell when Marvel has been spending more and more of their time forcing their characters to tie-in with events. Do I just need to spend six months of the year not reading and enjoying Marvel comics, because those are the times they’ll be incomprehensible without reading all of the tie-ins in the prescribed order?

(And about that – the whole point of this Civil War II project of mine is that I did read all of the tie-ins. And…they still don’t make sense.)

Also, I appreciate that the artwork in this book is stylized, but for me it’s so muddy it just makes the story hard to understand.

For me, the final panel is just a perfect finale for the entire Civil War II project Marvel has put on: it’s a cliffhanger. A cliffhanger you can only read the resolution of if you buy the tie-in books. ಠ_ಠ

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Editors and Marketing Department, with your multi-volume criss-crossing story arcs!
This volume didn’t clear up any of the questions I had about volumes 1 and 2.
I don’t know which non-Iron Man book—probably a Captain Marvel?—had the actual death of Rhodey, but I read the Captain America: Sam Wilson Civil War II story before this, so I knew it had happened. The depiction of Tony’s reaction to his best friend’s death is excellent, in-depth emotional stuff, including his struggle with alcoholism. The argument with Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel is good. The idea of using a psychic Inhuman’s visions to stop threats before they happen resembles Project Insight in the Captain America: The Winter Solider movie…or Minority Report. It’s chilling. I agree with Tony that it’s the wrong thing to do. Always in motion is the future.
And then…what the hell…??? The Iron Man storyline stops, to be continued elsewhere, and the rest of the book is a bunch of fluffy circular time travel shenanigans with the Mighty Avengers and Doctor Doom (and Morgan le Fay?!) from 2007. Seriously?
I’ve already been through two versions of Marvel Civil Wars; and I don’t feel inclined to spend time reading the details of this version, beyond whatever might be mentioned in the Captain America: Sam Wilson books I have yet to read. Wondering about Tony’s fate, I cheated and found an online article that laid the whole thing out—thanks, io9! I don’t think I’m missing much. I’m still curious about Riri Williams as Ironheart, so I’ll seek out more of that storyline at some point.

Time to end my Bendis bender! (#8 of 8)

The first half of the book is a mopey but effective reflection on the deaths from the early issues of Civil War II that defers the series' real conclusion to that event series.

The second half of the book is a reprint of a mediocre Iron Man/Doctor Doom time travel adventure from over ten years ago. It is a little amusing for the nostalgic tweaks of mimicking the old printing standards and marginalia advertising of old comic books, but it also features an unfortunate and unsuccessful attempt to bring back thought balloons in a big way. Regardless, it is literal filler to justify printing this book as a stand-alone volume. The three new chapters should have been in the previous volume.

As far as my bender goes, the first book was the best (Jessica Jones, Vol. 2: The Secrets of Maria Hill), but Bendis has been putting out solid mid-level superhero fare at Marvel in a reliable manner for a long time. It'll be interesting to see how he fares at DC as he moves to take over Superman.

[Wing Kee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Meh, other than Riri.

World: Art is okay, nothing special. The world building is okay, building for Civil War II is okay. The only addition here that is of note is Riri and that's great.

Story: The story is solid, it's not bad. Riri is the highlight. Civil War II is an event so that usually means no quiet moments for character development. This allowed for some quiet moments for Tony and it was needed with what happened in Civil War II. The convo with Danvers was also good. Character driven, not bad.

Characters: Riri is great, this is the reason I'm reading it, she's a good character. Tony is Tony and him dealing with stuff is what is expected, nothing big here and nothing of note.

Oh yes there were the issues with the old Iron Man story..zzz.

The reason I read this arc is because I wanted to read about Riri, the rest is just...more context for Civil War II (but that's a different review all together).

Onward to the next book!

[Vinton Bayne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was hoping for me Riri. Oh well. This volume is a short and sweet cap on the series. Not as good as the first, but better than the second volume. The last issue was one of the best Civil War II tie ins I've read.

[Dakota Morgan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hoo boy, here we go, let's see how much I recall about Civil War II! Not enough, as it turns out. The three Invincible Iron Man issues in this volume are very clearly back-up issues to the larger Civil War II storyline. Primarily, we see Tony Stark mope about Rhodey's death and argue with Carol Danvers about Civil War II stuff. It's a showcase for Bendis' skill with dialogue - these characters get some time to emote! It's powerful, but completely detached from everything that's going on in the Marvel world. It doesn't help that Riri Williams and Victor Von Doom drop in for a few truncated pages. This volume is kind of a mess.

Then there's the padding: three old issues (written by Bendis) of Iron Man vs Doctor Doom. There's time travel and some fun artwork, but it's a complete waste of time if you're only interested in the Invincible Iron Man series.

[Norman · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a tie in to Civil War II, the Tony Stark extrapolation helps us empathize and accept his sadness. Still, it wasn't a particularly spectacular volume, and everything still feels like a publicity stunt. Tony's just going into hibernation I guess... I was actually getting interested in the Doom storyline, so now I need to read yet another title - Infamous Iron Man. Oh, but the last issue made Carol look like less of jackass, so there's that.

I'm not too ecstatic about Riri as a whole, just like I'm not ecstatic about Amadeus Cho and whoever else is thrown in for diversity's sake. I'll give her a try though maybe.

[Travis Duke · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mixed bag of current Iron man issues and old Mighty Avengers (WTF). First off the Iron man part is good, Tony has returned from Japan and is trying to get back to square one. I really liked the parts with Tony struggling with sobriety and talking with Carol. The art is also fantastic, really sharp and well done. The rest of the volume is issues 9-11 (?) of mighty avengers from 2009... I get it adds some context with Doom but such a side track it felt wrong.

[Jonathan Roberts · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ugh half a trade of new stuff and half old stuff from 2007.....why? And lame that this book did not complete the story but I have to go elsewhere to get the conclusion. I liked where this was going, but since I have already read the Infamous Ironman I know how it concludes, but kind of a sad little trade paperback.

[Juan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a bit of a let down. The obvious point to stress is that the first three issues of this volume coincide with the events of Civil War II. I have read Civil War II along with some, though not all of the tie-ins. There isnt too much that really effects the story prime.

About the only good take aways here are:
-How Tony morns the loss of Rhodey
-Tony finally meets Riri Williams although it wasn't nearly as long and productive as I would hoped
-Doctor Doom is still pretty enigmatic
-The best moment involves a heart to heart talk between Tony and Carol Danvers perhaps at their lowest point, perspectively

I'm not all that crazy about the art work. To me, Tony Stark looks like Chris Cornell. Riri Williams doesnt nearly have the charm and innocent look as her appearances in the subsequent volumes. Last thing worth mentioning is that Marvel only felt like dedicating 3 issues of the series towards Civil War II tie-ins. To make up for the remainder of this volume, we get treated to a reprinting of a Doctor Doom story line from the early 2000's. Not really important.

[Tony Laplume · Rating 4 out of 5]

Brian Michael Bendis just started writing for DC. If that means nothing to you...I can’t help you. Anyway, one of the last Marvel stories he worked on was Tony Stark. Iron Man. If you know Bendis at all, you know that the Iron Man you know from the movies is vintage Bendis. And yet, outside various Avengers comics, he didn’t turn his direct focus onto Tony until recently. And, typically of Bendis, he plunged right in and started looking around for things to tear apart.

Included in this volume is one of those Avengers stories he told previously, which just so happened to feature Tony taking on Doctor Doom, the classic Fantastic Four villain familiar to mainstream audiences from all three cinematic adventures featuring the team. The story is delirious throwback, the complete opposite of the lead comics circa Civil War II, a crossover event also written by Bendis, which just so happened to be somewhat massively unpopular with fans, part of a trilogy of unpopular recent event crossovers from Marvel including Secret Wars and Secret Empire, so that Marvel is at its least popular, among its comics fans, that it’s been in years, since maybe the ‘90s, before a different Avengers revival turned things around.

Civil War II actually has a lot of relevance for the current movies, where they’re headed. Infinity War just gave the nod to Captain Marvel, who’s going to get her own movie next year, just ahead of Avengers 4. What annoyed a lot of fans about Civil War II, besides the Unpopular Inhumans (heh), was how they felt Captain Marvel was shoehorned into a position of relevance. I loved the story, a bold commentary on Black Lives Matter, a funny contrast with the perception of the later Secret Empire as a reflection of the Trump era. Comics fans don’t seem to appreciate that sort of thing.

Anyway, Civil War II also reversed Tony’s arc from the original Civil War, which was much as what you saw in the movie version. Now Tony is on the defensive. And these companion stories are a direct reflection of that. Remember how on the latter two Dark Knight movies from Christopher Nolan, Batman’s losing control of his lucrative civilian alter ego, Wayne Enterprises being maneuvered out of the hands of Bruce Wayne? Well, that’s happening to Tony. And he’s dealing with Riri Williams, and Doom is horning in on him. And other stuff.

This volume is not a complete story. There will hopefully be an omnibus later, collecting all of the Bendis Iron Man, and that’ll be easier to judge, what it does for the overall legacy. But this is a nice moment to see it take shape, a moment of transition. Bendis pace, in classic fashion.

And his style in the lead and his style in the Avengers backup...A lot of Marvel fans these days, I think they simply don’t recognize Marvel storytelling anymore. So maybe this volume is a way to try and reconcile that, too.

[Mr. Stick · Rating 3 out of 5]

"GREAT. I VOTE YOU'RE A DICK. SHOW OF HANDS."
- Tony Stark, when a StarkTech board member puts Tony's board membership to a vote.

The one-liners are the backbone of any good Iron Man story, but this was a lot heavier. Like, Demon-In-A-Bottle heavy. Not saying it was bad, by any means, but this dealt with heavy adult shit that I wouldn't recommend for the kids:
- The death of his best friend.
- An AA meeting with a fellow superhero.
- His birth mother makes a brief appearance.
- Victor von Doom. 'Nuf said.

On a positive note, Riri Williams impresses Tony in a few seconds. Not easy to do. Obviously, this sets up for her own story to take off while Tony figures himself out.
All that in three issues.

The last half of this book is a Mighty Avengers story from ten years prior. Bendis and Bagley from just before Secret Invasion. I don't quite understand how this relates to the Civil War II side story, but it was a nice diversion. Doom, Iron Man, and Sentry unintentionally travel back in time via Doom's personal time machine. While stuck in the past, that looks like an 80's comic book, they seek a time machine to get home without changing anything.
This story was mostly about Doom.

This wasn't bad, and the Mighty Avengers story is great, but I can't give a high rating to the book as a whole, because half of it was regurgitated material that barely pertained to Civil War II. Three stars.

Trataré de ser lo mas objetiva que pueda con la reseña de Invincible Iron Man Vol #3

De entrada diré que toda la trama de Civil War II no fue de mis favoritas, pero agradecí mucho que este numero tuviera una platica entre Tony y Carol fuera de una reunión de Alcohólicos Anónimos (ha sido una de las mejores que he visto desde que comenzó todo este evento); ese puro encuentro hace que la calificación de este cómic no se desplome a una estrella.

Mi verdadera queja es esta: Esta compilación reúne 5 ejemplares pero en vez de mostrar el desenlace de los eventos en este misma compilación, Marvel solo agrega 3 ejemplares de Civil War II y agrega 2 ejemplares de Mighty Avengers del 2007.



No me malentiendan, esa historia de Mighty Avengers de hace 12 años fue divertida (mas que la parte de Civil War II, siendo franca) pero no debía estar aquí. Fue una maniobra para poder vender un Invincible Iron Man 4 posteriormente, pero a costa de que los fans que compramos esta edición nos sintamos un tanto estafados.

2.5/5 estrellas
