WIDOW NO MORE?
Something is very wrong with Natasha Romanoff: she's...happy?! Retirement definitely agrees with the world's deadliest woman as she revels in the perfect life she never even dreamed she could have. But scratch the surface of that perfect life and you'll find something very wrong...and a woman like Nat just can't help but scratch.
Rated T+
Overall Black Widow packs so much beauty, intrigue and charm into its pages. This is one of the most refreshing new series out, and I highly recommend picking it up if you haven’t yet. Read Full Review
This has the makings of a definitive Black Widow series. Read Full Review
Black Widow #2 is a carefully written issue, and it shows. It's rich and intense, full of subtext and creativity. Throw in the bold artwork, and that makes for a fantastic read. Read Full Review
Black Widow #2 delivers the goods and tops the first issue in every way. That was the basic setup but this is the issue where the cards are on the table and we get a thrilling story of espionage and sleeper agents. There's also enough teased out to get readers really interested as to where it all goes, especially due to the ending which really emphasizes the “why” of it all. This is just a fantastic superhero comic without the flashy spandex. Read Full Review
Black Widow #2 delivers top-notch character work from Kelly Thompson and Elena Casagrande. Widow, Hawkeye, and Bucky shine. Read Full Review
Elena Casagrande delivers some beautiful imagery throughout the issue. Theres a quiet beauty to Widows domestic life and Casagrande brings that across with great detail. The action is great as well and I love the panel progression as Nats fight happens with the backdrop of a spiders web. Read Full Review
Black Widow #2 is another great issue in a series that has injected new life into the character. The art feels cutting edge and the narrative is compelling. Black Widow is a cinematic feast for the eyes featuring a tantalizing mystery well worth untangling. Read Full Review
When all is said and done Black Widow #2 continues to build on the excellent start that its predecessor provided. The pieces are beginning to fall into place. I just hope Thompson and the company can continue the excellent work they have shown thus far. Read Full Review
Kelly Thompson continues the mystery of what the hell happened to Natasha, and I am enjoying it. Elena Casagrande's art is excellent, and the story is shaping up to not only be about saving Black Widow but deciding if she should be saved at all. Read Full Review
The danger resting around the edges of Natashas life rests beneath the mystery of what happened to the Black Widow. And though this may be a very familiar premise for a story, Natasha seems to be navigating her way through it in a novel way in a distinctly Marvel application of the spy-with-amnesia sub-genre of cloak-and-dagger intrigue.

While her amnesia seems to explain her obliviousness to being caught on camera, there are quite a few unanswered questions here as to what the hell is going on, and as Clint asks – is this a life she needs to be saved from? Read Full Review
I think "exquisite" covers every aspect of the storytelling and content here.
(And I am firmly in favor of Jeff the Landshark cameos, anywhere and everywhere.)
I think that series has pretty much everything, that a Black Widow's comics needs to be great, at least for now. The art is top-notch in every way it needs to be, the premise is amazing and fairly original and it seems like the story is very well put together. The mystery just keeps going deeper and deeper in very unexpected ways. It constantly really makes me wonder what exactly is the situation, she is in. I feel, that in this issue we got some clues, but at the same time we are shallowed by new and new reveals, that turn everything upside down.
I hardly have any complains with that book tbh.
I really enjoyed this issue. The art is great.
Peak storytelling right here. 10/10 art, intriguing mystery, and I love the Clint and Bucky team up
The creative team have melded beautifully for a tile like the Black Widow. Great art and a great sense of mystery in the writing.
This title is shaping up to be a must read. And the art absolutely elevates the book to a higher standard.
Consider me fully invested.
I love Nat but I would also read just a whole comic about Bucky and Clint crouched in the bushes and bickering tbh.
Great issue but the Alex Ross cover should have been the main one.
