ohmygosh im in love with natasha romanoff.

but Jesus Christ she was ruthless in the flashbacks like my god?? poor marina

but her character in this arc has been so strong and powerful and bloody that i can’t help but be in awe of her. nathan edmonson’s writing plus phil noto’s art really captured me as soon as I picked up the first issue of black widow.

super amazing. highly recommend. nat *kisses*

This story wraps up and as with the previous two volumes, I just love the action panels and the illustration style. The story pales in comparison to artwork, but there are some good appearances and overall, a decent story.

It was fine, but a step down from the previous volumes, mainly due to the resolution to the Chaos plotline. I do of course realize that, as an Avenger, Natasha now battles intergalactic threats as well as minor ones, but once the Prophet started showing her the future and all that, I lost interest. With a book so focused on Natasha's past and her connections to other characters, the fact that Chaos was made into this whole big thing instead of just being an international spy business felt pretty mismatched.

CN: Animal murder.
Also, why you gotta kill the cat? Don't they have animal shelters in Cuba, Nat? Cheap shock tactic when having her kill her comrade, the comrade's boyfriend, and the boy's parents in front of him was shocking enough.


(P.S. The timeline is super unclear, so the flashbacks may be post-1989, but a Soviet Union Russian man proooooobably wouldn't say "Dear Lord" to express shock. Especially one as old as the character in question. Just sayin'.)

The first issue was the only one with the more typical smoky stylized Noto art. I couldn't think of a good reason his art changed unlike the last volume, so this knocks some points off for me. Overall, this concludes the series well and I had fun reading them.

A super satisfying conclusion to a beautiful series. Natasha is just...so heartbreakingly herself, and that's all I wanted. I laughed and worried and ended up very, very happy.

If you like Black Widow at all, I cannot recommend this series enough. Consider it required Red Room reading.

I had mixed feelings about the end of this series. Part of me felt like things came together very quickly. On the other hand the last couple pages present character revelations that cast Natasha in the grim, unflattering, antihero light that the series seemed to be set on. So you have an imperfect hero with a violent and complicated past who gets her happy ending. It just felt a bit odd. The things I appreciated about the earlier installments (hero cameos for one) seemed for some reason tired and more forced than enjoyable.

Overall the series is worth checking out, even if the ending leaves a little to be desired.
