Black Widow Vol. 3: Last Days by Nathan Edmondson

3.0

2.5 * for me. The earlier issues really captured me with Nat's tortured history and her desire to be something better. I almost feel like the creative team was ramping up for a longer run when they got word that there was an imminent cutoff date. Why else would this last few issues feel so rushed and incomplete when the rest was so beautifully paced? Whatever the reason, this volume tried to do way too much. There was Nat's ugly history, which was shown in a pretty heavy-handed way, there was a tour through some of her relationship history, also sort of clumsily done, there was a hurried resolution to the action with Chaos, and then there was a race through "what's next for Natasha" which was ultimately really unclear. Who was she saving and from what? The problem is, this was so scattered and hurried that I don't care very much. I lost that lovely thread, which is terribly disappointing.
