A review by miraeli
Black Widow Vol. 3: Last Days by Nathan Edmondson

2.0

It was fine, but a step down from the previous volumes, mainly due to the resolution to the Chaos plotline. I do of course realize that, as an Avenger, Natasha now battles intergalactic threats as well as minor ones, but once the Prophet started showing her the future and all that, I lost interest. With a book so focused on Natasha's past and her connections to other characters, the fact that Chaos was made into this whole big thing instead of just being an international spy business felt pretty mismatched.

CN: Animal murder.

Also, why you gotta kill the cat? Don't they have animal shelters in Cuba, Nat? Cheap shock tactic when having her kill her comrade, the comrade's boyfriend, and the boy's parents in front of him was shocking enough.

(P.S. The timeline is super unclear, so the flashbacks may be post-1989, but a Soviet Union Russian man proooooobably wouldn't say "Dear Lord" to express shock. Especially one as old as the character in question. Just sayin'.)
