Ironheart (2018-) #4

This issue did not go the way I expected it to, but then again I love it when I can’t predict series. Riri has had a lot on her plate as of late. She’s dealing with trying to make her own tech, after having it all ripped away from her. She’s dealing with a dean who clearly doesn’t respect boundaries. She’s dealing with survivor’s guilt and who knows what else there. She’s also trying to figure out her own path for being a superhero, all while not totally freaking her mom out. It isn’t easy.
And I think this issue proves that she still has a long way to go, when it comes to figuring things out. She needs to find a work/life balance, especially because her work is her passion. That always sounds good in theory, but it always results with one being completely overworked. Plus there’s the whole fighting to sort out as well…
Also, side note: I am a bit surprised that we still haven’t seen an appearance from Tony, considering he’s alive again and everything. Then again, he has been pretty busy with his own mess…still, I was hoping for a cameo/confrontation by now.
