Given the incredibly powerful Space Stone to look after by an old friend, Black Widow has no intention of letting it fall into the wrong hands...but is even the top espionage agent in the world ready to handle cosmic responsibility?
Rated T+
Using her recent death"ah, comics"to her advantage, Natasha goes through this "Infinity Countdown" one-shot tie-in with no worries in the world and by the end of it, she seemingly becomes one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe. Read Full Review
Infinity Countdown: Black Widow #1 articulates well with the main event along with referencing other stories. It could have been better with a few changes to lead as a four-part tie-in miniseries instead of a one-shot. Overall, an excellent read and I highly recommend picking up! Read Full Review
Infinity Countdown: Black Widow #1 delivers a welcome return of Natasha Romanoff. Its just a shame the story she finds herself within is far from interesting. Jamie Braddock isnt a great villain choice and has no relevance to Nat as a character. The artwork looks great, but it has nothing interesting to depict other than solid Black Widow action beats. Its not awful, but it isnt good enough to earn a recommendation. Read Full Review
For now I cannot tell that the I.C. Ties-in was as good than the original short-story/Event (But hush because Marvel promised 8 month without one after secret Empire). And I was curious of this one. And I find it good. I liked the Jimmy Braddock I see their, even if he seems a little less powerful that I remember. I also loved Merlin involvement.
But I'm not a fan of the art.
Cover - I take the Sienkiewicz variant - Not related 1/2
Writing - That was hard to follow but enjoyable. 3/3
Arts - I don't have is talent. That not the kind of Art I like, but this not bad at all. 3/3
Feeling - Well Mixed. But better than the Daredevil or the captain Marvel. 1/2
I liked his pyjamas.
Same issue as with the Daredevil issue - fun read, but absolutely pointless.
ok... but what's the point?
Natasha defends the Space Stone against Jaime Braddock and relieves him of some enslaved kid-minions with a little magical assist from Merlin. The art is exactly the sort of shabby display that puts me in a nit-picking mood. I moved seamlessly from visual inconsistencies, like the flick knife that should have chopped off Natasha's fingers, to script flaws, like constantly breaking its own "line of sight teleporting only" rule. While the comic manages to avoid any truly terrible outrages, its lukewarm performance across all of the metrics I might judge it by - as a Black Widow story, as an Infinity Stone story, as a magic story - renders it thoroughly unsatisfying.
