The Invincible Iron Man 23 (April 2010)
What’s that smell? Oh, it’s Fraction inserting the Ghost into this narrative and messing it up. This issue features Pepper and Maria finding out Tony slept with both of them. It features little Tony’s...

The Invincible Iron Man 24 (May 2010)
Larroca’s inspiration for illustrating Captain America appears to be Chris Bachalo. Yuck. Here’s where Tony comes back and saves everyone from the Ghost. Should have happened two issues ago. Anyway,...

The Invincible Iron Man 25 (June 2010)
I was going to complement Fraction on having the greatest pacing of a comic book ever this issue… then realized it was oversized. Still, it’s hard not to be impressed with how much Fraction does this...

The Invincible Iron Man 26 (July 2010)
Fraction kind of skips over the craziest part of his Iron Man revamp–the liquid metal to the suit is stored in Tony’s bones. It’s a trippy, sort of non-Iron Man idea. Iron Man used to be a guy in a...

The Invincible Iron Man 27 (August 2010)
Here we get some promise of action (well, for next issue). Actually, the whole issue’s about promise. Fraction promises the return of Rescue—a fine move, because Pepper made a very interesting...

The Invincible Iron Man 28 (September 2010)
So this issue is—while technically well-written—kind of pointless. Fraction has a bunch of really good dialogue and talking heads scenes, but it’s about Tony hiring these guys for his new company to...

The Invincible Iron Man 29 (October 2010)
I wish Larroca could draw Rhodey better. Especially this issue. He draws him without any personality–I guess he smiles a lot. But Rhodey is actually really important to this arc, because he’s kind of...

The Invincible Iron Man 30 (November 2010)
Okay, it’s not all Android users who are military industrial complex pawns, just some of them. Fraction gives the issue a great cliffhanger, just because he starts building to it about five pages...

The Invincible Iron Man 31 (December 2010)
And Fraction even takes it further… the Air Force guy agreeing to an attack endangering the American citizens he’s sworn to protect. Love it. The issue’s pacing is a little off though. It’s a lot of...

The Invincible Iron Man 32 (January 2011)
In what I can only describe as a Jeff Parker moment, Fraction reveals—in the backup, illustrated by McKelvie—Pepper’s suit, J.A.R.V.I.S., has the hots for her. It’s cute (and ties into that next big...

The Invincible Iron Man 33 (February 2011)
Interesting, we never get the saboteur revealed. This issue is a lot of setup after the action stops—Fraction goes back to the old way of writing Invincible, where Tony is narrating it. It means we...

The Invincible Iron Man Annual 1 (August 2010)
Fraction opens with an Immortal Iron Fist reference, then the Mandarin kidnaps a movie director and his wife, holding them hostage until the guy makes a movie of the Mandarin’s life. The Mandarin is a...

The Invincible Iron Man 500 (March 2011)
Fraction sets up this issue in two parts–first the present, with Tony tracking down Peter Parker to talk about some designs Tony forgot about, and second the future. In the future, Tony’s kid is...

The Invincible Iron Man 500.1 (April 2011)
I think I like Larocca’s art this issue than any one in the past. It’s literally a talking head (no one has dialogue except Tony), but Larocca does flashbacks and in these flashbacks, he relies a...

Rescue 1 (July 2010)
So in this issue of Rescue—oh, wait, no, it’s the only issue of Rescue, which is a travesty (if that description doesn’t give you an idea of the book in advance…)—is set during an Invincible Iron Man...
