A review by judythedreamer
Invincible Iron Man: Ironheart, Volume 1: Riri Williams by Brian Michael Bendis

3.0

Now I've had the time to get my hands on all issues and read them through again, I kind of enjoy the idea of Riri more, but she's not won me over completely. I've got serious doubts about her character enduring for an extended period. Her character seems to be a combination of elements from Miles Morales, a stereotypical teen/genius and the expected tragic backstory (which has never been mentioned before I think). This makes the narrative disjointed at best and Riri not a sympathetic character at all. The ideas are great when taken seperately, but the way they're stuck together here just isn't streamlined at all. Frankly, it's an information dump. *Look here! i'm interesting! Love me!* I think most enthusiastic fans are more in love with the idea of what Riri could be than what she actually is right now.

I'm a bit put off that I had to read the last issue on youtube, because my comics store shipment for that week went totally awry, but I think this is the start of a good run. Although I might want to reserve judgement until Secret Empire and Legacy roll out and see what they do with the character.
