    Black Widow: Widow's Sting #1 is an action-filled issue, which perfectly portrays all of the challenges Black Widow comes up against on a regular basis. The writing and artwork flow together seamlessly to tell the same story here. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Oct 28, 2020

    The tendency in modern comic books is to work on story arcs that take several issues to resolve. Theres a definite appeal in taking Black Widow into the realm of something more concise. The super-spy mission in the Marvel Universe holds so many different possibilities that it really COULD serve as the basis for a really appealing series of one-shots if Marvel was to invest some time in developing something like that for Natasha.  Read Full Review

    If you want a traditional Black Widow story you can't go wrong with 'Widow's Sting', which offers a classic espionage tale using Black Widow in a traditional way. Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford Oct 28, 2020

    When all is said and done Black Widow: Widows Sting #1delivers a fine, if routine story, for Marvel First Lady of espionage. While its a bit by the numbers, its no strings attached approach serves as a great introduction for newer fans who may have discovered Natasha recently and want to see her in action.

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - Weird Science Jim Oct 27, 2020

    Black Widow: Widow's Sting #1 wants to feel like a classic, traditional Black Widow story, but it only succeeds at being bland, generic, and forgettable. It looks good, but there is no reason to buy this with so many actual classic stories available on the Marvel Unlimited app and the comic store shelf. Read Full Review

    So while the basics are all there, this new issue falls flat in the face of Black Widow's delicious potential. Read Full Review

    Maybe fans of Macchio/older-style Marvel comics, or very undiscerning fans of the character, will get something out of this but I found "Black Widow: Widow's Sting" to be forgettable, choc-full of lazy cliches and not particularly entertaining. Read Full Review

    Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L Oct 28, 2020

    Overall this book reads like a really bad teenage fanfic. Its style of writing takes the path of explaining every detail to the reader rather than just expecting the reader to be smart enough to know what’s going on. Even if this book was aimed at a younger audience it still completely misses the mark. Read Full Review
