Don't read a lot of Marvel, so I don't know what happened to a Fury, but it seems pretty dumb. This was fine, but kind of out of the the book's gritty spy drama wheelhouse.

Of all the issues so far in the series, this might be my least favorite. I'm not sure why. I guess I have a couple reasons. First, as much as I like Bucky Barnes, I don't think he's furthering the story much. He's really serving more as a romantic subplot, which I don't really think a Black Widow series needs to be excellent. The writing is still very good, and the art work exciting, but the story feels like it has gone off track. Also, I'm not really why they killed off the Weeping Lion and his cousin so randomly. They never really got to resolve their plotline, and I'm actually more interested in them than the Headmistress's daughter . A few of the things in this book are just plain confusing. Why are they on the moon? What happened to Nick Fury? Why is he on the moon? Why was the Winter Soldier watching Natasha for him? None of this seemed clear, and I needed a little more than what I was given on this. One more thing: does Natasha fully remember Bucky now? Because it seems like she did, but she wouldn't say for sure .

I absolutely loved this team when they worked on Daredevil and I loved their run of Daredevil probably the best out of all the others. I also happened to absolutely adore Nathan Edmundson and Phil Noto's run of Black Widow, so when a new run was announced with this team I was super, super excited and anxious to see how this book was different from Edmundson/Noto's. I wasn't disappointed!
I devoured this issue pretty easily - it's relies more heavily on the graphic part of comic book storytelling than it does the dialog, but I think that's appropriate for how much action and movement there is happening. It certainly feels like a James Bond-esque movie opening where the viewer/reader is immediately thrown into the midst of an event without any idea as to the surrounding context of that event.
I really loved how this felt similar to their run of Daredevil, while also feeling completely separate. I'm anxious to know what Natasha's got herself into and to read the next issue.
