Not her first ongoing. She was the protagonist of the 2016 Invincible Iron Man run.
Ironheart is caught between her need for independence and her obligations at M.I.T., and when an old friend is kidnapped, she needs to make some tough decisions. Luckily, she's got a brand-new A.I. system on her side!
Rated T
Ewing and company are a perfect fit to capture the nuance of who Riri is as a character, and it's thrilling to think of where this series could go next. Read Full Review
Riri's life feels authentically dysfunctional in all the right ways. I want to watch her grow and learn. I can already tell that this is a character who will logic her way into my brain and teach me something about myself while she's there. Read Full Review
Luciano Vechhios art is brilliant, beautiful and vibrant. There are so many great panels and pages throughout and I would love to see him take on a huge splash page fight scene with Ironheart at the center. Read Full Review
Ironheart continues to excel in an enjoyable second issue that makes the most out of a character-centric approach to Riri Williams. Read Full Review
As a superhero moniker, Ironheart bears almost no relation to Ironman. Riri's heart isn't made out of the metallic materials of an Ironman suit. Yet, her heart is as sturdy as they come. Even though MIT represents a unique opportunity for her to "transcend" her circumstances, she keeps the people of Chicago in mind constantly and works to establish her heroics in the hood from which she hails without much fanfare or overwrought reflexivity. One of the masterstrokes of this Ironheart arc is that Riri tends to focus on systems over situations and she tends to think about social structures more than individual bad behavior. In short, she is the kind of hero our real world needs right now. Riri cares about Chicago and in the world of Ironheart that makes her more of a hero than any of the super suit tech that she designs and invents for herself. Read Full Review
Ironheart #2 was an excellent transition from the debut issue. So far this book is giving us exactly what we need from a developing young hero. This story has direction, heart (no pun intended), and it has a genuine call to action. To keep up with this quality work, this creative team just needs to continue striking that balance between character development, story progression, and everything else. Read Full Review
In Ironheart #2, an onslaught of challenges keeps Riri hopping. This issue does an excellent job of telling her story clearly (and beautifully!) while also using it as a tool to explore her character. There are still plenty of uncertainties (and a few of them might be unintentional), but #2 assures us that learning more is going to be a blast. Read Full Review
IRONHEART #2 did well with establishing Riri's new mission and teasing the reader with two strangers that could be from "The Ten." However, the story had many details missing. The flashback art was the best part of this issue, while the present day art remains consistent but boring. Read Full Review
There's plenty here to prove the character has a rich future. Read Full Review
Ironheart is some solid superhero storytelling, and one that looks to be getting better with each new installment. Read Full Review
This series is off to a slower start than I hoped and it really needs some focus. Eve Ewing has Riri jumping from scene to scene and a lot of times, it feels as if there was something missing in the process. I love Luciano Vecchios art, but I need more here to keep going forward. Read Full Review
Everyone involved made a perfectly adequate comic, but the story is all over the place and has very little to do with Ironheart as a character. This is generic superhero comics when it could be so much more unique and special. Read Full Review
Great artwork throughout, from the action sequences to the faces of the characters. What I enjoyed most is the unfolding, intriguing plot that's developing. It was a well paced and exciting issue that left me wanting the next issue sooner than later.
Ironheart pushes against sinister forces in both Boston and Chicago, but it's the hometown story - with tight connections to her traumatic past - that takes the lead. A good, brisk pace, insightful characterization, and beautiful art bring this a step up from the previous issue. Things might turn out great if the further evolution of the plot lives up to this high storytelling standard.
Better than issue one was. Riri is really becoming a character of her own, struggling with PTSD and other assorted problems, and shoving them all down. Like an interesting character tends to do.
A montage of standard hero fare, but not a terrible try for her first ongoing. Although, I would personally avoid using dialogue like "You are a person. You have person problems." The reader should be able to judge that for themself without being told.
A bit disapointed. Yes there is much subplot there, but none are very interresting.
And much of riri action don't make sense. If you have someone you care for you don't go home to play.
The story with the kid as thieves isn't original and frankly I prefere the one with Miles right now.
Cover - Very nice but not related. 1/2
Writing - That wasn't not what I come for. Less good than the first issue. 1.5/3
Arts - The art is very good on the other hand. But saddly their is panel without background. 2.5/3
Felling - Mixed. They have to do better next issue. If not this ongoing will not have long to live and will be quickly forgotten. 1/2
6/10
This was okay I guess but I don’t reaaaaaaally care.
