While Riri might not have had the chance to get to know Tony Stark before all that Civil War II mess happened, she has had the opportunity to get to know his A.I. Now though she might be taking over some sacred Stark ground.

In the newest issue of Invincible Iron Man, Riri has suddenly become a rock star thanks to social media. People don't know really what to make of her. Some think she's amazing, some think she's a menace, and others can't look up from their phones long enough to realize there's a new armored person soaring in the sky. All of these would be enough for any new hero to deal with, but she's going to need to make an even bigger decision very soon. Does she embrace the Stark legacy, or try and find her own path?

You can check out an exclusive preview of issue #6 in the gallery.

Riri continues to go over well with fans, and Bendis previously talked about that being a delicate balance of embracing the new and still respecting tradition. "Thankfully because of my involvement in the creation of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones and some other characters, it's getting the benefit of the doubt from even the most surly fans," he says. "There are fans who say, 'Show us the new stuff,' and then there are fans who say, 'Don't do anything different from when I was a kid.' So when you're introducing new characters, you're always going to have people getting paranoid about us ruining their childhood.

Invincible Iron Man #6 is written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Stefano Caselli. You can find the official description below.

Riri's adventures go very viral. Everyone wants a piece of the newest Iron Man…Ironheart. But not everyone is thrilled with how she is representing herself to the public. All this, a new potential boyfriend AND the latest new addition to the Iron Man rogues' gallery!
