Black Widow (2016) by Mark Waid & Chris Samnee (Marvel)
Can lightning strike twice (two Eisner winners fresh off their monumental Daredevil run)?…Eh.
I really enjoyed Samnee’s art and style (it’s clean, cinematic, consistent, and lends well to both action and drama). As for the story, I didn’t care much for the Headmistress/Red Room plot and actually preferred the Weeping Lion storyline. This first issue started off fun and fast-paced, however the first trade bogs down a little. Conversely, the second trade is paced too fast and doesn’t flush out some of the subplots very well. The second trade seemed like we were missing some tie-ins.
I’m not sure how this run holds up to the Nathan Edmondson run (I put that on my reading list after re-reading this since it first came out). The first Kelly Thompson trade was really good but the second was absolutely terrible.
