The plot arc was a little fractured and unfocused at times, but the artwork was really great. I especially loved the style of line they used to convey movement, which look like threads of a spider web. I also enjoyed the character development, as well as the clever ways text and image were made to echo one another at points. It certainly made me love Black Widow more than I already do, and I look forward to reading the next one.

Mein erster Comic. Black Widow und ein kleines Kätzchen sind eine super Mischung. ;) Ich hätte aber gerne mehr, oder zumindest irgendwas, über Black Widows Vorgeschichte erfahren.
This story arc gives is all about atonement. Black Widow spends her time away from SHIELD taking black ops and espionage jobs as a way to atone for her past. Money she makes from these jobs goes to the families of those she hurt in the past. Her affairs are kept in order by her attorney, Isaiah, who tried to convince her to take more lucrative jobs. He's one of my favorite characters on the series and I love how dry he is. He also has some hidden skills that we see a bit of in this arc.
This story arc really hits home what a lonely existence it is to be a spy. Natasha finds it hard to trust people and, in her line of work, trusting the wrong person could mean death or failure. Natasha is very hard on herself and, though she works to atone for her past sins, I get the feeling that she will never feel like what she's done is enough.
This was definitely a good character study on Black Widow. Smart, deadly and focused, she is not someone you want to mess with. I am interested in seeing where Edmondson takes her from here. I don't think she can keep going at this pace forever and the loneliness is starting to wear on her. I want to see how Natasha evolved.
The artwork by Noto is gorgeous and I love how he uses color. His images are very moody and his style is very different from what I normally associate with superhero comics.
Overall I liked this collection. The plot itself wasn't extremely compelling but the character work on Widow was good and I'd like to see where it goes.

Black Widow is one of my favourites. She's so amazing. The stories and artwork in these issues are just the bomb.
Definitely recommend for those who like Natasha Romanova.

I really enjoyed this first volume, it was always really entertaining seeing Natasha do her missions, but it’s getting repetitive (love the artwork tho)
Muy ágil! Hermosamente dibujado y coloreado, para encuadrar! Lo ame!
Black Widow's debut
What can I say about Black Widow? The movies have taken a fairly kickass character & turned her into a damsel in distress. This comic definitely turns that around. Sure, she's cold & wants to keep her distance. She's aware of what happens when she gets close to people. But she's also a character who sees what needs to be done & does it. She doesn't suffer fools lightly. The characterization of Black Widow was well done. She's not one dimensional. She has flaws. She makes mistakes, but she doesn't let that stop her from doing what needs doing. She's definitely one of my favorite female characters & I enjoyed seeing her go solo.
