Certainly nothing like the more recent runs of Black Widow comics. I'll agree with other reviewers that the conceit of Natasha killing everyone she gets close to was overdone... but this is so old that particular criticism doesn't matter. The summary after the first issue of events happening between then and the next issues struck me as odd - if there were actually more issues featuring Black Widow in the interim I would rather have just read them. Eventually all the included ones started to feel the same. Overall, it's not a bad compilation of the initial Black Widow comics and I appreciate it for what it is without wanting to read it ever again...

Was a treat to see Natasha's first-ever comics appearance and to see how she's developed as a character overall in the early years. She very much gets a lot of the 'oh she can't do these things because she's a woman' but handles it with grace and general badassery. I live for women proving men wrong, especially in comics where men seem to think female characters are reserved for eye candy.
