So I’m pretty sure that Ironheart just got its first antagonist of the series. I know that Riri came up against plenty of bad guys during Invincible Iron Man, but this one truly felt like it was HERS. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I’m super excited!
I love that they’re adding more to Riri’s character, especially the backstory and going further to make her come off as an actual human. I feel like her survivor’s guilt has been playing a bigger factor lately, and I have a pretty strong theory as to why…and I have to say that if that is the case, it’s really well thought out and I love it.

I have to keep saying this, just how glad I am that a black woman is writing this story because nobody knows us better than us.
RiRi Williams is finding out that being a superhero doesn't mask all of the hurt and pain that you have inside of you and that you are not above needing help for your healing. RiRi Williams is back home briefly and trying to crack the case of her missing friend from High School, just like real life when POC of color go missing, the reporting/exposure for us is minimal to nil and RiRi make a promise that this will not be the case again. But when her friend turns up missing with a bizarre case of what happened to her, then watching the news pick the young lady apart (basically calling her a liar and for her parents to be locked up), RiRi knew she had to get to the bottom of what happened. The only thing she was not counting on was the shadowy figure hiding in her friend's hospital room, waiting for so that he could attack her.
Now the mystery deepens, first she knows her friend is lying about what really happened to her and two things just took a really bizarre turn with her fighting that intruder. So now the plot thickens and as RiRi struggles to solve the case, she is also realizing that her pain that she has so easily hid from everyone else is slowly bleeding from the inside to the outside of her, and that now its time to finally get the help she so desperately needs.
I am just so happy that RiRi Williams has her own solo comic, with her own stories and her own voice. I am eagerly awaiting "Ironheart #4" Woot! Woot!

This was another good issue, further developing Daija. I gave it five stars because it’s great, but it this is a rising action issue, which isn’t totally satisfying for me. I’m too impatient and usually wait for comics to be collected into books to get an entire story arc, but I’m still trying to do the comics thing here. I’m looking forward to the next issue.

I love it
Riri is fantastic. A mess but fantastic. I like her relationship with her mother. What's up with her friend Daija

Riri's story just keeps getting better. Ewing perfectly balances her confidence and her worries, and really brings to life the various other characters who are looking out for Riri.
