Villanelli delivers some fantastic art in the issue. There is some great action in the issue and the character designs look fantastic. Read Full Review

Black Widow & Hawkeye #2 keeps the relationship central to the story. Natasha and Clint are clearly their own individual people. Together, however, their connection drives the plot. Read Full Review

The relationship between these villains-turned-heroes is one of the longest in Marvel Comics history, but Black Widow & Hawkeye seems prepared only to acknowledge that point of interest without building upon it. Read Full Review

So Hawkeye, who has been going without a mask for years at this point and is an avenger, on television, known to practically everyone on earth, especially the rich and powerful, infiltrates a card game as a spy with no disguise and not one person knows who he is???? A simple fake beard and hair dye could have gone a long way here!!! WTF? I expect this from Phillips who is not the best writer but an editor should have said SOMETHING. The symbiote needing Nat to think on her relationship with Clint so it could help him detox was a terrible way to segue into a flashback and of course we have to get a scene where characters are eating so we know it's a modern marvel book. The disguise and flashback reason were just lazy writing but the rest of the book was decent enough I guess, but not as good as the first issue. I heard someone say Stephanie Phillips comics read like AI wrote them and this comic sort of fits that description. I didn't hate this but it really wasn't that good. The only thing I really enjoyed was the ending and the reveal of the main villain. I hope the next issue steps it up. more
