Black Widow, Vol. 1: The Finely Woven Thread by Nathan Edmondson
I may be biased because I absolutely love Phil Noto's art to begin with but I just adore the way he portrays Natasha in this series. It feels so very real in a lot of ways - it's practical, it's eye catching, and it gets the point across without some of the, shall we say, unnecessary, scenes that so many other illustrators like to put in. I could probably write an entire essay on why exactly it is so good, but I'm digressing a little bit.
I think the storyline here also does Natasha justice because she is allowed to show her vulnerability and hurt, and why her current circumstances are prolonging that. She is allowed to need people. I know some people think that detracts from her badassery but I love the interwoven "badass" scenes with the scenes that show how much she is still hurting. I don't think that showing that loneliness takes away from her espionage and fighting skills at all - I really think it makes it that much more poignant when you show how she continues to push on despite all that anguish sitting under the surface.
Looking forward to seeing where the rest of this series goes.
