Casagrande and DAmico deliver some stellar imagery throughout this issue. The art continues to be a beautiful and brilliantly detailed part of what brings me back to this series. Read Full Review

This is a fantastic creative team exactly right for this character working together like an orchestra. Black Widow is in the best possible hands with this excellent book. Read Full Review

Overall, Black Widow #14 is yet another example of why this is the best comic book that Marvel is currently publishing. Kelly Thompson, Elena Casagrande, Elisabetta D'Amico, Jordie Bellaire knock it out of the park with create the maximum amount of tension through the various action sequences and character interactions. If you aren't reading this series already I highly recommend fixing that because you really are missing out on something special. Read Full Review

The action at the auction reaches the second issue. Things explode at the end. It's a bottomless quagmire that the heroes find themselves in. Typically a single operation like this running for more than a couple of issues could tend to feel a bit sluggish. Thompson and Company keep it moving in a way that avoids any potential difficulties with pacing. And that stinger at the end is very provocative. Just when it looked like things were about to wrap up in a clean fashion, things get all the more complicated simply and brutally with a quick slice of action. It's very smart storytelling.

Despite the fact the book jumps between different characters and locations, the story flows smoothly and ends with a shocking cliffhanger ending that I have to admit caused my jaw to drop.  Good stuff. Read Full Review

In a somewhat surprising turn, after it appears everyone is on their way to safety and the Living Blade poses no current threat, Black Widow reengages the assassin when she could flee to fight another day (with back-up, like say the Avengers) rather than pick a fight she knows she can't win. The early results in their latest encounter don't look good for our girl. Read Full Review

My favorite marvel series back at again with another banger. Holy sh*tsnacks!! Casagrande is god level on the art. The ending, WOW!!! Like wtf, the living blade is great. The action and pace of this book is flawless. I don't want to spoil anything for actual readers of this series, but #15 cant come soon enough.

Holy fuck that cliffhanger! Thompson & Casagrande continue to deliver what is hands down the best Black Widow book ever

How do they keep knocking it out of the park each and every month? It's starting to feel like we're entering a great age of marvel books firing on all cylinders with stuff like this. I eagerly await the next issue.

All the balls are up in the air as the good guys' mission trembles on the knife-edge of success or failure. And the cost is already terribly high thanks to a great last-page bombshell.

The art is superb, although this team has done (slightly) better in the past. The script leans toward developing plot rather than character, but the voices still sound right and the relentless buildup of multiple cliffhangers makes this a thrilling, fast read.

Solid

pretty solid book if you ask me.

It's felt like forever since the last issue, and this issue is really good once you remember what's happening. The art alone is worth the cover price. Everything works here, aside from maybe the pacing not being as tight as I wish it was.
