The Soska sisters bring on the brutality in a second issue that allows Black Widow to be extremely vicious to low-level villain who clearly deserve it in a surreal amplification of the street-level criminal darkness thats actually lurking out there in the real world. The villains have been revealed in this second issue. Now the Soskas have the rest of the series to navigate Black Widow through them in pursuit of justice for young victims like the one she encounters this issue. Read Full Review
Flavianos art is bursting with detail and energy. Almost every page feels like it is in motion because of the brilliant details and camera angels. There is so much of this issue that looks great. Read Full Review
BLACK WIDOW #2 may continue to maintain a rather simply story, but its authentic, raw, unapologetic vignette of Black Widow herself transcends. Read Full Review
This over the top violent issue may not be for everyone, but if you're not the squeamish type, this tale of revenge might be for you. Even though this is not my normal cup of meat, I am having a good time…something that disturbs me just a little. Read Full Review

BLACK WIDOW #2 is an action-packed story showcasing Natasha's inner rage for the worst of humanity. Read Full Review
Still, it's good enough that the writing itself should make up for what exactly I had qualms with that really isn't that big of a deal at all. For me, Black Widow earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. I look forward to seeing what Jen and Sylvia and their team do next as my love for one of my favorites rekindles itself. Read Full Review
As the real world struggles to protect the marginalized, comics like these are needed. I only wish Black Widow was better written to serve its important messages. Read Full Review
Black Widow shoves a pool cue down a guys throat because he watched a website where they have interactive live torture on kids.
Liked this more than the first issue. A large part of that is that this comic, despite its dramatic nature, actually represents a vile part of the internet well. There's proof that this type of thing, or a similar variant, exists in some form or another. And after reading things like Ben Percy's Nightwing, where instead of making some sort of cogent point, it just went off the rails into complete nonsense that was cut short due to editorial mandate, I find it a little refreshing that at least they're not doing techno-gentrification and basic bitch technophobia.
This was better than the first issue but I’m still not very into it.
