The Invincible Iron Man #525 Review

Anyone reading Invincible Iron Man knows the drill by now. The series has reached its climax point as Tony Stark teams with a group of sworn enemies to take down the Mandarin. It's an effective payoff to years of storytelling and groundwork, but it's also a very slow and methodical payoff. Issue #525 is one more chapter that will entertain readers but leave them wishing there was just a little more meat on these storytelling bones.

This issue is certainly heavier on the action than the last few, as Tony is finally back in an Iron Man armor and on the offensive again. Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca tackle some some memorable battle scenes throughout. Here is where having characters like Living Laser and Blizzard on Tony's team comes in handy. Laser in particular adds a nice visual flourish to the battle scenes so that the book isn't dominated by armored dudes clobbering each other. While Frank D'Armata's coloring has never been a highlight of the series, he does some nice work tackling the various bursts of energy and radiation that dominate these fights.

This issue relegates the Hammer girls to the sidelines, so that only the Stark Resilient and Rhodey subplots remain to offset Tony's struggle. Those two pieces of the story are all but merged at this point as Fraction builds closer and closer to the big reunion/rescue sequence. A brief appearance by a couple of super-teams from the book's past only heightens the idea that Fraction is pushing towards the finish line. More loose ends are coming together and the stakes are growing higher. It seems that the cover image of Mandarin crushing the world in his grip is more literal than it seems. So even if the general sense of plot progression remains a bit sluggish from month to month. Fraction is delivering a worthy finale to his multi-year run.

The Invincible Iron Man #524 Review

Tony Stark has a long history of fighting to stop his armor designs from being stolen and exploited by various villains. But as the third Armor Wars conflict kicks off in the latest issue of Invincible Iron Man, Tony finds himself with some unlikely allies. And that's where Future is at its most appealing. Matt Fraction focuses a great deal of attention on Tony and Ezekiel Stane, showing the odd progression their relationship has taken since their first showdown at the very beginning of the series. Throw a few more classic Iron man villains into the mix and you've got the recipe for one memorable team-up.

Fraction connects a few more pieces of the puzzle in issue #524, revealing more about the role Justine Hammer is filling and just what is going on with JARVIS lately. This latter reveal is interesting, though it comes across as a bit random and unnecessary in the context of the larger conflicts of the series. Also troubling is that we still don't have much of an idea about what Rhodey is up to with his Iron Man masquerade and how he factors into Tony's ultimate plan. There are a lot of fun character moments in this issue, but not necessarily a great deal of plot progression.

The artwork doesn't shine that well in this issue, mostly because Frank D'Armata's colors tend to overpower the pencils even more than usual. There are a handful of panels where Salvador Larroca's line-work gains a greater level of detail and precision, but that isn't the case nearly enough. As usual, Larroca's action scenes and armored characters look great. This issue stands out because there's now a small army of Iron Men creating havoc. It's the human characters that have looked and continue to look unnatural.

What's the Deal with Iron Man 3's Armor?

Starting from the original Iron Man all the way up until The Avengers, there have been seven iterations of Tony Stark's Iron Man armor. An eighth version to appear in Marvel's Iron Man 3 was revealed and displayed at Comic-Con back in July. Watch out for spoilers on the details of that suit below!

It sounds like the muted gold and crimson suit we ogled at SDCC was not the Mark VIII, but the forty-seventh Iron Man armor: the Mark XLVII. As Latino Review recently explained:

"The Extremis-enhanced bad guys under direction of Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin villain are going to be too much for Tony to handle on his own, so he thinks ahead, thinks big and has a plan. Tony’s about to go out and fight some bad guys when he mentions the Mark XLVII to Pepper Potts. Pepper asks what happened to the other forty and Tony just smiles.

"From the cockpit of Mark XLVII Tony is able to control multiple armors in battle. We over here at LR have been vaguely aware of an action scene where Tony was going to control multiple Iron Man suits (presumably they look similar to distract his enemies as to the location of kill-able Iron Man Prime), but the number 40 seems... awesome. 40 Iron Men." [End Spoilers]

Keep in mind, of course, this news has yet to be confirmed. We'll offer any updates that come our way.
