I've dropped this series, I feel like Kelly doesn't have a story and they changed the artist who was very good.
FRIEND OR FOE?
With Apogee in her rear view, Natasha pushes forward with her plans to become the hero San Francisco needs. When an old source sends Natasha and her team looking for a mysterious pair known only as THE TWINS, the Black Widow has to confront the fact that Apogee may not be as behind them as she'd hoped. But are the Twins friends or foe?
Rated T+
This run of Black Widow has yet to disappoint - and based on this installment, it probably isn't going to anytime soon. Read Full Review
Thompson/De Latorre and Bellaire form an outstanding team. That team is bringing an enjoyable team to page and panel in a dazzlingly composed quartet of heroes who find a relatively unexplored home in San Francisco. The whims of marketing, editorial, and sales have a tendency to tangle things up over time, but for the time being, Black Widow has definitely found a state of grace that seems to be working. Its fun. Its stylish. And with any luck, itll maintain its footing for at least another year or so. Read Full Review
De Latorre delivers some beautiful and gorgeously detailed panels throughout the issue. The art has an engaging quality and tone that draws the eye both in the character moments and the action beats. Read Full Review
BLACK WIDOW is turning into quite the team book with a focus on the fascinating relationship between Natasha and Yelena. And we get two new fun enemies in the form of androgynous Twins who give us Tomax and Xamot realness in their dialogue! Read Full Review
I love the dynamic in-between Natasha and Yelena. Cooperation will be key for both. I like the fact that Kelly Thompson has taken the time to address the trust issues. Most importantly, I love her insistence on not leaving any hanging chads, with the hope that the loop will be closed later. Read Full Review
After a bit of a slow start, things ramp up nicely when the Widows get fresh tips off the Twins, new antagonists with an interesting powerset -- after, of course, an obligatory brawl. Solid writing and solid art. Rafael De Latorre once again does sterling work maintaining the aesthetic established by Elena Casagrande. While there wasn't a whole lot of new character work (Yelena still doesn't like Natasha keeping secrets, film at 11), Nat slides a mother of a sequel hook into the slower part. This is a pretty average issue for this run, and the fact that it's damn near great demonstrates how strong the whole story is.
More of the same in the best of ways. Solid fill in artist to keep the feel of the book.
Another strong issue with some new new rogues for Nat.
Putting Anya in this book was a great choice.
Pretty creative powers for the Twins
This was pretty good. The Twins, as a concept, are pretty cool. There's not much to this issue, however.
