Flaviano's art is stylish and beautiful and masterfully combines sincere emotion and unbridled rage, especially with Nat. Read Full Review
Overall, the Soska Sisters, combined with the fantastic art team of Flaviano and Gandini, are crafting a beautifully brutal Black Widow title, that keeps the reader on their toes with some interesting twists and turns, which make me excited to get the next issue in my hands ASAP. After this run of four issues the Soska Sisters have my attention and I look forward to following whatever their name is on next. This is definitely a trade I'd recommend grabbing when it comes out if you haven't payed attention until now. Read Full Review
BLACK WIDOW #4 has its weak points, but, overall, it is a jam-packed issue full of brutal action sequences, complex characterization, and enticing twists. Read Full Review
At times, the comic seemed a bit gratuitous in its depiction of Natasha's suffering, especially during an extended waterboarding/torture scene, although it certainly seems in line with the Soska Sisters' general aesthetic. Read Full Review
This is mostly just an action issue, and it's pretty good. I don't think it was great or anything, and it was mostly predictable.
The betrayal twist goes past predictable and into inevitable. The turncoat received far too much story attention for this to turn out any other way; he's the differently-drawn bit of the background in Scooby-Doo that is obviously going to be a "secret" door.
Okay story-wise, but the dialogue was hard to get through.
