Wish I could find something more to say every time than noting how great it is. I guess the only thing that stands out as a negative is the dummy who wrote in about how Samnee's style is to cartoonish.

10 Things I Love In Black Widow #7

1. Natasha having to deal with the teenager known as the Weeping Lion. Their interactions are just priceless. Natasha does not want to deal with this kid, and yet she has to. Plus, he has a great handle on pop culture.

2. Red Room flashback! Natasha's first kill! The Weeping Lion's background!

3. "Never use a chainsaw when a scalpel will do." Interesting advice from a guy who tears information out of people's heads and tortures them.

4. Natasha's conversation with the headmistress and Recluse. I love anything having to do with the Red Room, and I also want to see a Natasha/Recluse showdown.

5. Oh snap! I did not see that coming...
Headmistress kills herself so that the information she knows dies with her, staying out of Natasha's grasp. I wouldn't expect anything less from the woman who trained Natasha.


6. The artwork in this book is really amazing, especially when the Weeping Lion is trying to get information from the dying Headmistress's mind. I love the fractured panels and the coloring done here.

7. Recluse and Natasha show down! Weeping Lion uses his powers to make a shocking discovery! I love this series. It's like a James Bond or Jason Bourne movie.

8. "Why? Why did Mother always love you more?" "Because she respected me. She saw in me the will to conquer my fears without doubting myself. You never had that."

9. "Someday..." "Someday. What? They'll sing your praises? They'll write your story? You don't have a story, little one. You're simply a footnote in mine."

10. Last interaction between Natasha and Weeping Lion and that heartbreaking last page of panels.
