Originally planned for a 2023 release, Dominique Thorne reprises her role of Riri Williams from Wakanda Forever who, for no real reason, left the comforts of Wakanda at the end of the movie despite it being obviously the perfect place for her to continue her education. As the series needs to break the character down, in terms of the story it wants to tell, that means we’re reintroduced to Riri as a struggling college student at MIT who, despite her intelligence and skill, relies on under-the-table deals to fix other students’ projects for the money needed to explore her own interest of recreating an Iron Man suit (which, she already accomplished in Wakanda, and also again at MIT).

G.I. JOE #8

Following a bit of training within the Pit, the Baroness demands a bit of R&R and some time away from the repetitive drills. Duke, reluctantly agrees on the condition she’s back in 48  hours and that Cover Girl, goes with her. The issue allows for the pair to spend some time together, first on the Baroness’ private jet and later on a cafe in Paris (between which she unsuccessfully attempts to lose the Joe  for some time alone). There’s not much action in the issue, but its memorable with the Joes hunting the Baroness at the beginning of the issue (which plays on the reader’s expectation that the woman will, at some point, go bad), and the two women being attacked by a flock of birds which reintroduces the character of Raptor into the Energon Universe.
