Rejoice, Black Widow fans! This new series has bite! Read Full Review

The disconnect between the first half and the second half of the first issue is potent. There's a real balance between Black Widow and Natasha's lives that makes for an interesting contrast. If Thompson and Casagrande can maintain that balance while keeping the mystery of the composite character solidly present, this could be a strikingly well-composed series. Arcade's addition as a villain could make this a very existentially trippy journey into espionage--particularly if the adventure somehow finds itself into the potentially surreal territory of Murderworld.   Read Full Review

I loved this opening issue and can't wait to read more! Kelly Thompson starts her story without bogging it down with over narration and recap, making it feel fresh for new readers and seasoned Black Widow fans alike. It also keeps things moving fast, and when I got to the cliffhanger, I couldn't believe it was over! Elena Casagrande's art was excellent, and this one immediately jumped to the top of my pull list.

It can be difficult for a monthly ongoing to sustain tension through continuing mystery, but Kelly Thompson avoids the early pitfalls and establishes a solid base to build from.

The rest of the issue is where problems arise as the comic looks back several months to Natasha's relationship issues and the world's greatest spy getting caught on camera by a local news reporter (something which seems near impossible and also likely leading to events in the present). Oh, and there's a mysterious new boyfriend. Exactly what's going on with Black Widow? Read Full Review

Phenomenal first issue, art is amazing

Fantastic first issue!!

After an easy heist, Natasha gets ambushed in her apartment. Months later, she's living a new life as a San Francisco architect. Mystery abounds! Also abounding: glamorous visual style (in costumes and action) and sharp, lean dialogue. It's a brief but achingly engaging re-introduction to Marvel's greatest super-spy, a fast read that leaves me clamoring for more.

My one fear was that Kelly Thompson wouldn't dial up the maturity on Natasha's dialogue. I shouldn't have worried; the Widow gets a unique and uniquely appropriate voice. And good god, the art! This book is delicious from every angle.

Wait, this was actually really good

Very good start. Can't wait for issue two.

Strong start. My 9bly complaint was that I have to wait til next month to see more.

Solid first issue. pencils and color is on point

Pretty good start.

Solid with some occasional moments that I didn’t love. Her haircut looks dumb, sorry but it’s true.

The art in this book is something else, and it's a solid setup to Natasha's new adventure. Picking up #2 is a no-brainer.

This was really new yet not that new. It still takes some from the previous arc and molds a new story. Thompson did a great job and the artwork was top-notch.

This cover sucks, but the book itself is good to warrant reading the next one.

-Surprised at the length was hoping for a couple more pages. What is here is a good framework; Natasha is charming and black widow is self-aware and calculated. Not really sure how i feel about the potential antagonist, but i hope Thompson has something interesting worked up with him.
-Artwork was so well done and the coloring really set the moods of each panel and its dialogue

很少有哪本漫画内页画得远好于封面。

There are few comics whose art in inside pages are much better than their covers.

I’ll stick around for a bit more because Thompson has really proven herself for me. I was hoping this was a bit more of a home than though.

This was a solid debut. Nothing really happened? I mean something did happen, but Thompson is just adding sprinkles rn. Great art by Casagrande though. Really liked those action sequences in the first few panels. After that first bit though, its just dudes swooning over how hot Natasha is, and I concur with that agreement. Nice ending that further touches on this mystery set up. O and apparently she has a boyfriend, so stop simping.

In terms of plot, I don't think this is anything special really. Nothing interesting really happened except for the few times that it made me say 'oh'.

That being said I thought the art was pretty good, especially on the page where (spoilers) she rides a motorcycle through the roads.

Overall, it wasn't that interesting but at least it wasn't long enough to overdue it's stay. Probably not worth the €3.99 market price. She looked hot though.
