Perhaps the defining challenge of this new era of Marvel is finding a way to balance a renewed emphasis on classic heroes, classic costumes and classic status quos with a sense of experimentation and risk. What happens to all those younger, more diverse characters like Miles Morales and Amadeus Cho and Riri Williams that were introduced or elevated to greater positions of prominence in recent years? Do they get shoved to the side now that Marvel's core fan-favorites are back in the spotlight? Particularly in the case of Riri, is there a path forward for this character now that Tony Stark has reclaimed the Iron Man mantle and co-creator Brian Michael Bendis has jumped over to DC?
Marvel certainly seems to think so, as Riri is back in her own solo series thanks to the debut of Ironheart. And rather than put this character in the hands of another mainstay creator, they've brought in a new voice in poet/academic Eve Ewing. That's probably a wise move on Marvel's part. As much as writers like Bendis, Mark Waid and Jim Zub have done to flesh out this new heroine over the past couple years, it might be nice to get the perspective of someone who isn't a middle-aged white guy for a change. Ewing does bring a fresh voice to Riri's world, though one that feels as though it needs some time to coalesce.
