Black Widow Vol. 3: Last Days by Nathan Edmondson
5.0
"Last Days" wasn't perfect, but it was still fucking good.
Overall, I think this run had a weak story-line, mostly regarding the mystery / villain. I couldn't care less about Chaos, and the Prophet wasn't that interesting.
However, in addition to the great action and stunning art, it presented Natasha as an interesting and super-complex character. I could feel Natasha's hurt, her loneliness. This volume exceeded the previous two in that aspect, thanks to the beautiful flashbacks to Natasha's backstory.
I could feel the little girl inside who wanted justice, the young woman who obeyed without mercy, and adult woman who wants to be someone else, but not always sure how. The writing and art perfectly carried these feelings of heaviness and loneliness in a very film noir style.
It's really a shame in my opinion that the run didn't continue. Sometimes (well, a lot of times) I don't understand Marvel.
