Riri Williams es una prodigio, una súper genio, pero también tiene 15 años y no tiene ni la menor idea de qué está haciendo. Eso la hace peligrosa, irritante, y asombrosa al mismo tiempo.
En este segundo volumen la vemos pararse en su rol de superheroina y empezar a tomar decisiones sobre su vida, mientras aprende y mejora, a los golpes.
Me gustó, me gusta el personaje de Riri, y me encanta su madre. Los flashbacks te rompen bastante el corazón, y eso lo hace aún mejor.
Sin embargo, creo que desaprovecha demasiado a sus villanos y al montón de personajes conocidos del universo Marvel. Entiendo que quiere centrarse en Riri y su camino como Ironheart, pero le da tan poco peso al resto de los personajes que se siente sobrecargado y un poco forzado. Espero que eso mejore a futuro.

I'd give this 5 stars just for Bendis's gorgeous and tear-jerking column at the end, but the rest of the book is great, too.

Read as single issues.
Another great volume! Riri's a little more fleshed out here and I kind have more of a feel for who she is as a character. I really like what's being done with the relationship between her and AI!Tony, as well! He's so protective of her and he's willing to let her make her own decisions and step in if he needs to. It's not a completely new relationship for Tony as he was protective over Spider-Man and the teens on the ANAD Avengers team but this is the most in depth parental relationship I've seen with him. Tony monitors Riri's vitals, encourages her to take breaks and watch TV and he worries over her constantly. It's really interesting! Add to that the admission that he'd been worried about never having kids and it makes for an interesting dynamic.
The good:
- More of Riri's personality is apparent here. The last volume was a little bland.
- The flashbacks make more sense in this one
- Aside from the last issue, I adore the art. It's so expressive, particularly with Riri, MJ and AI! Tony
- AI! Tony is a delight
- Once again, it got quite a few laughs out of me. Especially Armadillo man
- Tony and Riri's relationship, as I mentioned.
- I loved hearing about the unknown acts of charity Tony did with paying for rehabilitation for his adversaries and funding and visiting orphanages.
The bad:
- I hate the way Sharon is written in this book. Nothing I've read in Brubaker's run suggests her to be the shrewd, angry director Sharon's a jerk and it seems out of character
- As adorable as the last issue was, it seemed like a filler issue if I ever saw one. Perhaps because it was filler and the next issues are starting the "Search for Tony Stark". I'm interested to see how this shakes out with Bendis leaving Marvel for DC. Godspeed. I hope they keep a book for Riri in addition to Tony and I pray we get a black female writer for it.

Spoiler
that berates a teenage for being upset that she'd been surveyed by a secret organization. On top of that, she encourages a teenage girl to invade a country because SHIELD can't legally do it.Spoiler
- The villain seemed formidable but instead of fleshing her out, it cut to Riri taking her down rather quickly- As adorable as the last issue was, it seemed like a filler issue if I ever saw one.

Oh shiz, oh shiz, oh shiz!!!
This is THE Marvel comic you have been waiting for!
Action! Adventure! High-flying hijinks! Cutesy teenage super genius! Heart-pounding family dysfunction! All the things you want in an Iron Man comic, but this is not the Iron Man you know!
This is Ironheart!
But seriously, though. If you haven't picked up this comic yet, what are you waiting for?!!? Go get it now! It's a super fun, super well-written new character and how often does one of those come around in the comic book industry? The last time I can remember a new character appearing with such a splash was Ms. Marvel.
Yes, I did evoke MM. It is THAT good.
So seriously, go out and get yourself a copy because if you are a fan of comics at all, You Should Be Reading This!!!

As a character, Riri Williams has a lot of potential. She's 15, a genius, and has a heart as big as her intellect.
However something about this just didn't connect with me. While I loved the vibrancy of the colours in the volume, I didn't really care for the art in general. Riri seemed older than 15 in the art and her Ironheart constume doesn't have the same age appropriate pizzazz of her contemporaries. The story and writing felt rushed and flat as well. That's a problem I seem to have with a lot of Brian Michael Bendis' work though so I'm not sure why I don't expect it to by now.

This was so fun to read! Riri is a great protagonist and Tony's AI adds a lot of comic relief.

I'm curious to see if the next phase of the MCU moves on from the current characters like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, or replaces them as the comics have done. If the latter, bringing in Riri Simmons as Ironheart would be a great choice.
