Invincible Iron Man, Issue #2 begins with a revelation: Tony Stark is alive, sort of. We've known for some time two things, that Tony Stark dies in Civil War II and that Tony Stark can download his consciousness into a computer. Invincible Iron Man is the consequence of both of those things having occurred, just as Infamous Iron Man (also 2016) is the story of Doctor Doom stealing Tony Stark's armor and becoming a superhero, of sorts. Riri Williams is a genius teenage inventor who creates her own iron suit to fight crime. By the end of the series, I'm guessing she's wearing one of Tony Stark's Iron Man outfits.
In my review of Nova, Issue #1, I said that I only read three "teenage" superheroes: The Blue Beetle, Spider-Man, and Ms. Marvel. Well, now I read four. While Nova and even The Blue Beetle play to a younger audience with their quick scene cuts, Invincible Iron Man plays to an older audience, with people dying, and not just in a "superhero" way. This is another good series, and Brian Michael Bendis - as busy as he is - keeps on churning out quality comics.
