Marvel And The Unpublished Ironheart Comic Book Series

Marvel Comics and the Unpublished Riri Williams, The Invincible Ironheart, by Stephanie Williams and Jim Towe



Article Summary

  • Marvel planned a new Ironheart comic by Stephanie Williams and Jim Towe, featuring Riri Williams.
  • The series was canceled after the Disney+ Ironheart show's release was delayed until 2025.
  • Ironheart would have wielded both her suit and the Ten Rings of the Mandarin in this miniseries.
  • Sasha Hammer was set to debut as the main antagonist in the unpublished Ironheart storyline.

I reported in May 2023, courtesy of leaked Marvel Comics August 2023 solicits, that we were to be getting a new solo comic book for Riri Williams, The Invincible Ironheart, by Stephanie Williams and Jim Towe from Marvel. And with Ironheart not only wielding her personal super fighting suit, but also wielding the Ten Rings of the Mandarin as well, as introduced in Gerry Duggan's run on the character. However, I was then told that, despite all appearances to the contrary, the book is was not  being scheduled for August any more. This was down to the Disney+ release of Ironheart being delayed until 2025. But even when the TV show eventually came out this past week, the comic did not.

Its would-be writer Stephanie Williams posted on Threads, "The Ironheart miniseries that never was…(it was cancelled due to the show getting pushed back at the time) Jim Towe and I were cooking." With artwork that also introduces "Sasha Hammer, who was going to be our antagonist for the series."
