I'm really loving the artwork in these. I also really enjoyed the part where Nat stood up for her neighbour against the abusive husband. Such awesome, much great, wow.

I just really really love Black Widow doing her thing, being dope as hell, and killing the game. Didn't give me the same feeling as Ms. Marvel but I'd say it's not supposed to; a lot less cute, but a lot more sad history.

The Best of: Foliage (Black Widow #3)

1. This heartbreaking but honest confession: "I don't have a home. A home is a distraction. In my work one cannot have distractions. I wouldn't necessarily know a home if I had one, though."

2. Natasha's conversation with Ana and Natasha telling her to leave her abusive husband.

3. "What you carry with you, it weighs you down, down, down."

4. Natasha completely admitting to who she is: "You might think I'm cold-hearted. I am. I can't afford distractions. I've got work to do."

5. The Black Widow being the only weapon she actually needs.

6. Another very sad admission: "... But it is the unteachable skill to belong anywhere. The other edge of that is the unfortunate truth. You must first belong nowhere."

7. Natasha realizing who exactly she had helped break out of prison and sacrificing the job to right that wrong. (Hint: Crocodiles ate well that night.)

8. A Maria Hill appearance and Natasha's insistence she needed to go home and take care of something first (aka threatening Ana's husband if he ever hurts her again).

9. Natasha' real definition of home: "Unfortunately, I admit, I do have a home. I have always had a home. Even if it is not apparent to me or anyone else. Home is where the hurt is. That might be the jungle. It might be back on the streets of my birth city. It might be here."

10. Recommended highly! I loved the storyline with Ana and also how Natasha's sense of justice is shown.
