Marvel Voices takes Riri Williams, Ironheart, to Chicago a century-and-a-half ago for Free Comic Book Day (Spoilers)

With the MCU TV series Ironheart finally dropping at the end of June, Marvel Comics is upping the presence of Riri Williams with tomorrow’s Marvel Voices issue for Free Comic Book Day. With a new story by Justina Ireland and Edwin Galmon. Marvel’s Voices was originally a Marvel podcast developed by Sana Amanat and Judy Stephens and hosted Angélique Roché interviewing creators that put on emphasis diversity in storytelling and non-white comic book creators, and inspired a series of comic book anthologies from Marvel that have focused on different areas of diversity in character and creator at the publisher.

Given the wider scale of audience that this book can attract for Free Comic Book Day, they have given Riri Williams a trip in time a hundred and fifty years back to 1880s Chicago in pursuit of a supervillain, which enabled her – in a limited capacity – to engage withe the locals, a century and a half back.

While there are many negative stories that could be focused on, they chose a more inspirational one. The first all-black fire company, Engine 21, in the Chicago Fire Department, formed in 1872 and invented the fire pole in 1888, giving them the fastest response time.

And so, it seems, happy to take advantage of any new technology that comes their way…

FCBD 2025 Marvel Voices will be available for free on Free Comic Book Day in all participating comic book stores. Saturday, the 3rd of May.
