Black Widow, Vol. 1: The Finely Woven Thread by Nathan Edmondson

5.0

Let’s all be honest for a minute. There are some Marvel characters that are definitely benefiting from the movies. I grew up reading Marvel, and I didn’t care for Iron Man. Bring in RDJ’s take on him, and suddenly the whole character is more likable. The same with Thor and Hawkeye. And then there’s Black Widow, a character I barely even remember, and then Scarlett makes her shine like the sun.

Well, I’ve gotta tell you, Nathan Edmondson takes The Black Widow even further. Somehow fleshing our super-spy/assassin out while never really giving away any more of her mysterious past, these comics are a fantastically paced and fun adventure. I found myself getting more and more attached to her (and her supporting cast), and couldn’t wait to get back to this book every chance I got. Perhaps more telling than anything was my reaction on finishing; surfing the library and amazon at 12:30 at night looking for the next book.

I recommend this for any Marvel or Avengers fans, or just plain fans of awesome women in comics.
