That's really the plot??? I don't know why I'm ever surprised anymore when it comes to bad comics from the big two.
Just as Yelena Belova begins to settle into life in suburbia as a consultant for honest, hardworking assassins, change comes in the form of Armament - a company whose endeavors seem to infiltrate every aspect of life in the tiny town of Idyllhaven. But what exactly is Armament's interest in Idyllhaven - and what does it have to do with Yelena's rogue mentees?
Rated T+
Overall, White Widow #2 is a better True Lies that we didn't know we needed. The story by Sarah Gailey is fun. The art by the creative team is stunning. Altogether,a story that spills with suspense. Read Full Review
Miracolo delivers beautiful art throughout the issue. The visuals are as fun and thrilling as the story itself and made me smile a lot. Read Full Review
White Widow #2 is another fun issue starting with a flashback of Yelena dealing with another assassin also sent to kill Wolverine who offers some off-the-cuff advice that has changed the assassin's career path. Read Full Review
This is such an excellent exploration of Yelena Belova, especially when kept separate from the grander Black Widow lore and history. Read Full Review
Yelena Belova has been ill-served by a lot of previous plotlines, but this one provides her a humanizing element, a new home and a new M.O., even if it reminds me of the setup for the Fraction/Aja 'Hawkeye' comic of a few years ago. Read Full Review
White Widow #2 takes everything you dislike about the MCU Phase 4 and cranks it up to 11 with terrible “I don't know how to speak human” humor, a conflict that doesn't fit the world, and an antagonist that doesn't make sense. If you're pinching your pennies, this is the comic to skip. Read Full Review
Who is this character? So bad that it looks like DC launching a female character.
Disclaimer: I only read this issue because a YouTube buddy wanted me to review it with him. We covered issue #1 and that was enough for me.
This is not a comic book. I don't know WHAT it is to be honest. It was a chore to get to the end. I think it's 20 pages but it felt like 50. There might be some semblance of a story in this issue but I couldn't find it.
The character voice for Yelena is Florence Pugh from the Black Widow movie. Only sometimes it isn't. It changes throughout the issue. Yelena is a trained assassin and would not come across as a village simpleton. She should be highly intelligent. In this book she isn't.
The other characters have the same voice. It's difficult to know who is talking. more
