Once again, I’m back on my Black Widow bullshit. Is anyone surprised? I don’t think we are.


This was a great addition to Natasha’s backstory with a sad, dark & gritty plot. Comic Natasha’s character is so addictive because of how much backstory she has. I love comic stories that focus primarily on Nat “confronting a part of her past”. It’s so interesting and highly entertaining.


Comic Natasha is written very in character here as well. She’s unapologetic and entirely ruthless. But one of the best parts about this was easily the Logan x Nat (father-daughter obviously) & Winterwidow content. I’m such a whore for Winterwidow y’all don’t even understand. We got crumbs in here and I was fighting for my life with that one panel (if u know, u know).Also I’m probably projecting but I just want the father-daughter dynamic that Logan & Nat have ):


Ok I’m done. This is literally so unhinged, I’m writing this at 12:30 in the morning

I've read a few black widow graphic novels but this one has been the best of the lot. The art is gorgeous, Natasha isn't over sexualised (except for that very end panel where her zipper is undone, to air her titties out I suppose

I really enjoyed this one. Not only is the main character an intelligent female who can take care of herself, but someone obviously put some thought into the story. The plot has enough twists and turns in it to keep me wanting to know what happens next. It gave some nice back story to Black Widow. I could have done without the naked woman shots though.

Black Widow is an ass-kicking heroine who plays a better game of chess than Bobby Fisher (figuratively).

This is one of my all-time favourite comics. Marjorie Liu is a genius.
