Natasha tried to betray Weeping Lion but couldn't succeed.
This was a better issue.

action packed thriller, I'm a huge fan of this and Moon Knight from Marvel. This leading into some interesting places, I think I say this often but Whedon should have the opportunity to turn Black Widow into another franchise for Marvel. Her backstory would be very cinematic.

More artwork than storyline- but the ending— what a cliffhanger!

Seeing Iron Man in the drawing style was so satisfying. Cannot wait to keep reading.

This series continues to be explosively amazing. As it has been for the last four issues, it continues its action movie pace, with an economy of dialogue (and no captions). This is a symphony of perfect creative team cohesion.
I am not excited to see another superhero character from the Marvel universe appear at the end of this issue. Until this appearance, this comic has been unique in its ability to transcend the spandex-and-muscles-and-sci-fi rut that every other book seems to be in since, well, nearly the beginning of superhero comics. I was enjoying this book as an international espionage thriller, outside of superheroics. However, this team has pulled off a lot of gutsy stuff so far. Maybe they can bring this tale into the greater Marvel world without casualty. It's audacious, but that's been the word I've used to describe the book from the beginning. We shall see.

Not my favorite issue to date, but still more enjoyable than most of the stuff I read every week. As always, the art is stellar. Don't love the cliffhanger because I'm deeply uninterested in the character it reveals, but I've loved this very spy story and that Natasha doesn't always get to win.

The way I feel about this series of Black Widow can be summer up in one word: "Meh".
Things went down in this book that I should have had an emotional reaction too, but I just didn't feel the connection.
