Ok, I've been trying to ignore Bendis... but does she identify herself as a man or is Bendis too much of a coward to call her by her characters hero title in the title of the series?

My future is brighter than Bendis' reputation in the upcoming comments in this article.

Looks good. I'll probably check it out at least. Invincible Iron Man was good for the most part, but I seriously didn't enjoy the change of artists, from Marquez to Deodato. Hoping this new book does well.

I might have given this a shot if Bendis wasn't writing, but Bendis is writing so . . .

@mrkareemruiz: You didn't even refute my point with intelligence and just dismissed as a troll. It is idiotic to presume that everybody who dislikes this is racist. It is a generalizational fallacy and you know it. In this day and age people cry "racism" or sexism just when they know they're wrong

Do you honestly think that editorial/corporate had nothing to do with that choice? Do you really believe that writers - even commercially successful ones like Bendis - have that much pull with marquee brands like Iron Man?

If you're going to replace old characters at least give your universe a proper reboot. Marvel feels pretty complicated right now.

I jumped back and forth between loving this preview and finding it hokey. Definitely worth picking up and determining how it works within the context of a full comic. The art looks great.

We must see how the hair fits into the helmet. This is an important detail that Spider-man doesn't address when putting on his mask. I will tolerate this no more!

I will say that the character wasn't developed well before being introduced here but i will still give them a chance to at least try the idea and see what happens.

but i saw these pics on twitter and thought they belonged here.

As they say....i'll just leave this here!

If she goes by a different name (which I think is best) by don't they just call the comic that. I think Iron Heart is a good name. Also would prefer if the suit looked a bit junky like something thrown together with spare parts

It's all nice and not, and I don't want to be that guy, but the real question is, how does she put on a helmet exactly?

I like Ironheart as well, but it's not a name that would sell comics alone. Until today, I'd forgotten what her name actually was, and if I had been walking through a store and say "Ironheart", or read it on an upcoming titles list, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. It's a good name, but it's not recognizable yet. I imagine they'll leave it like this until she gets a second series where they'll call it "The [Adjective] Ironheart".

Also, I'm pretty sure the armor in the final image is the one she actually made with spare parts, and it does look like she kind of duct taped some old washers and dryers together. The armor on the cover is one she made with Stark resources.

I have idea for you, little SJW.

Go get upset about such english words as "human" and "woman" - derivates from word man.

And while you'll be upset compare it with russian language. "Human" - "Человек", "man" - "мужчина", derivate from "муж" ("husband"), "woman" - "женщина", derivate from "жена" ("wife"). Neither of words that have same meaning as your "human", "woman" and "man" are derivates from each other in russian.

People who hate this aren't rascits (as far one can know right?) They're crybabies who can't deal with change.

But I will not waste a post with an useless rant. This preview is interesting, and the icing on the cake to convince me to follow this series, since I already supported Riri.

Though I agree with the comic title, should have benn [Adjective] Iron Heart.

I'll give it a shot. From what little I've read with Riri in it so far I've liked her well enough. Curious what will happen to Tony though if they'll kill him off or if he'll be more of a mentor character for a bit after being a prime figure in two Civil Wars takes it's toll.

White, black, male, female, doesn't matter to me as long as the story is good. Is Marvel just doing this as a cash grab and good PR? Maybe, but does it matter? Aren't they a business and whatever works, works? If this sells because they're a minority character, then that tells us that minorities want more representation. If it sells well because it's well written, then whats the issue if it's written well? I say just check it out and see if you like it. If you don't, oh well, there are a dozen other Marvel titles around, some pretty much the same year after year,some always changing. Don't like Marvel? There is DC, Image, etc.

I'm glad to see more positive responses than negative here.

Other than what i already said, i wanna add that it's still weird that civil war 2 is not gonna be over for months and that messes things up but otherwise it looks good and flows.

Here is to hoping they make it a descent story that gets somewhere and doesn't drag like invincible did at the end. Bendis's style of writing just doesn't always work for me.

Only fools pull the race card as an argument. This change was forced and my dislike for the change has nothing to do with race or gender. It's forced pandering.

Waiting for people to lose their minds over this.

At this point it's commonplace for race/gender changes on superheroes. Who even cares anymore. As long as it's a good story.

@wam-hope: Change isn't by its nature a positive thing or negative thing. It's just different. People are free to judge change either way.

As to Riri, I dropped Ironman after MJ was introduced and it didn't do much for me because I didn't see her role as lasting just a gimick. So I honestly, just didn't know much about Riri so asked why it's called Ironman when cleary she's a woman. Nothing rasists, sexist, or anti-anything other than Bendis, who I love/hate. Early stuff I usually love, newer stuff I usually hate though not always.

It's an honest question, why did they go with Ironman as the series title, especially when Doom is about to get an Ironman series too? I heard she was gonna be called something else and based off the comments above it seems Iron Heart is her actual characters title.

You won't be saying that if Black Panther became a redneck white guy.


DC beating Marvel in sales speaks for itself (keep in mind that they're not far apart in their period of revamps). It's also worth mentioning that Old Man Logan, Amazing Spider-Man, and Captain America Steve Rogers are outselling their politically correct counterparts.

LMAO You do realize there are white people and Middle Easterns in the continent, right? In fact, one could say every race came from Africa as it has the oldest human fossils to date and that every Abrahamic religion also points to that place as being the origin of man. Adding to this is that Africa has every type of civilization from tribalistic to a more modern Western-type.

Oh, and the only the Marvel comic I'm reading stars a black guy (Luke Cage) so your entire post is a joke.

You have a choice. You either read the comic or not. If you read it and like it, then support it. If you read it and hate it, then read something else. Simple as that. Everybody judging each other, and calling each other names is just childish.

That is a false etymology. "Human" and "man" are not English words, but Latin: humanus. And since vir, viri is Latin for "man"... Well, your feeble attempt at justifying your hatred for everything that deviates from your little, pre-defined conception of the world miserably fails.

Was there this much arguing when Bucky replaced Steve as Captain America? Just curious.
