Honestly wasn’t the biggest fan of it because of certain scenes that felt too inappropriate, but I loved the plot twist at the end with regards to the Russian-claimed Black Widow.

it gets a single star for the first two stories and the artwork of story #2 alone.
otherwise....ugh such a let down to me.

Has a lot of really cool spy moments, and feels very different from the mainstream Marvel comics. This is actually a collection of three comics featuring the Black Widow, a title now shared by Natasha Romanov and the new blonde Russian Yelena Boleva. I read this in anticipation for the latter's MCU debut in the upcoming Black Widow movie, and am keen to see how the film portrays their relationship. The first two stories work really well by playing off this rival/mentor relationship, but the third suffers from going to extreme darkness to try and build up just Yelena. Whilst the realism was definitely pushed, there were enough satisfying moments to justify a read. Just keep kids away from that last story, it definitely justifies the adult rating.

There are three separate, but sort of related stories in this collection. The first one was interesting, the second one was fantastic, and the third one was kind of dumb.

This was an interesting collection of Black Widow and Yelena stories. The artwork was pretty good and I really enjoyed the style. Seeing Nat and Yelena discover who they are with their interactions is a fun bit. The story where Nat takes Yelena's identity kind of confused the shit out of me, but I finally got the reasoning towards the end of that story. Anytime you can see a widow be vulnerable is going to be a great experience. I do enjoy these collections as it has been a little bit harder to collect the comics from the bookstore.

part one was nice, kind of predictable.
i’m a fan of matt and natasha and to unexpectedly see them together again was a nice little surprise.
i like yelena but at the same time she kind of irritated me in these issues. /she/ was the predictable one, which if you know her, makes sense.
part two was a bit hard to follow. DISCLAIMER: i was also trying to finish this before i left the house, so it’s partly my fault.
i didn’t not like part two, it just didn’t do it for me. the characters and the art were amazing, it was well written. . . it just wasn’t my favorite.
