Ironheart, Vol. 1: Those with Courage, by Eve Ewing
4.0
Whew! SOMETIMES I feel like prestigious non-comics writers aren't actually the best picks for superhero comics but Eve Ewing is a great fit for Riri and I loved this volume. As much as I previously enjoyed Riri's adventures with AI Tony, her new AI NATALIE is so funny and yet such a moving tribute to Riri's dead BFF ;_;
I missed whatever happened with her and the Champions--it's alluded to and I don't necessarily feel like I missed out on something--it's enough to know that right now Ironheart is on her own and (re-?)learning that she doesn't have to be (a classique lesson for a young superhero to learn). This is a great jumping-on point for this character.
I also love Eve Ewing to some extent writing what she knows--Chicago and academia.
The art is great too--Riri is so pretty but also young, and there are a lot of diverse faces/bodies shown here.
