2020 Ironheart #1 is a good comic. But, unless you're invested in the character or the two storylines that are connected, it's hard to say this is a must get. Still, there's some solid moments and debate about the role of superheroes within. Read Full Review

David Messinas art, on the other hand, takes after his Ironheart predecessor Luciano Vecchio with a similar overall aesthetic, which lends some continuity with Riris most recent solo title for those continuing from Eve L. Ewings quality run. His visuals arent especially flashy, but they work with the script given to him. Most of this issues action is relegated to tense conversations, which requires a certain skill to successfully convey the emotion of those scenes, and I think Messina succeeds there. Mattia Iaconos colors are similarly grounded, with occasional pops of techy purple for N.A.T.A.L.I.E., which look very pretty on the page. Overall, the package presented in 2020 Ironheart #1 is a low stakes, but worthwhile, side story. Read Full Review

If you came to this issue looking for action, you really don't find any. If you came to this issue jazzed to see Ironheart, you certainly won't find that here. If you came here looking for something fun and exciting to read, that's simply not inside this week. Heck, if you're looking to get caught up on IRON MAN 2020, that really doesn't happen this week either. The best this reviewer can say that transpires in this installment of IRONHEART 2020 #1 is that Ayala and Lore catch readers up on the status quo of Riri Williams and connect a few of the dots circulating since OUTLAWED #1.

This is a decent start to a two part story that has Riri forced out of her suit and into street clothes to do some good for the world. The handling of Riri is strong, as you have to admire her heroism and gumption, but the plot is slow and doesn't offer enough action. Issue #2 might rectify this though. Read Full Review

Muddled might be the best word to define 2020 Ironheart #1. There are some great ideas presented here, and in the places where everything works, it really shines. But all too often, the book feels like something readers have seen a million times before, and in a two-issue miniseries, that’s a missed opportunity. Outside of completists for the Iron Man 2020 or Outlawed events, there isn’t really any attracting factor for people to grab onto as nothing that makes Riri Williams a special character is given the spotlight here.

It's an awkwardly positioned issue with awkward delivery and, while not all of that is the fault of these creators, it all results in a read that never manages to find the gas pedal. Read Full Review

I don't want to bomb just title just yet; I actually want to see where this is going but I fear that it's going do place where we've seen the same stuff time and again. but that I mean a superhero versus her friends family and a superhero versus herself or her superpowers it's been done I'd hate to see it be rejected specially with Riri's background and intelligence I believe there is a lot more to explore in her background that would make this more interesting.

" All those vidéo games paid off, i really do guess. "
- RIRI WILLIAMS

Prelude:
I've not been that big of a fan of the tie-ins to Iron Man 2020, so let's see how Riri fares with 2020 Ironheart.

The Good:
I like how it ties into Outlawed.

The Bad:
It feels a bit cliche?

Conclusion:
A nice albeit a bit cliched story.

This comic is paced like it has an infinite number of pages to waste on nonsense.

This isn't too bad, but I don't like the art, and the story hits all the obvious beats. It exists.

I struggled with the dialogue in this one, it didn’t feel like real people. The story itself isn’t anything special.
