BLACK WIDOW #1, available Wednesday from Marvel Comics, brings Natasha Romanoff back to her own series, with several twists along the way. For when the Black Widow is involved, there is no such thing as an ordinary day.

Black Widow has long been famous (or infamous, depending on how you choose to look at it) in the Marvel Universe. She’s gone through so much in her time, both on the page and on the big screen.

Now she has a new series, alongside a new creative team. Kelly Thompson (writer), Elena Casagrande (art), Jordie Bellaire (colors), and VC’s Cory Petit (letters) have joined forces to bring this latest adventure to life.

Marvel has been marketing Black Widow #1 as groundbreaking, a series that is about to change everything. Just one issue in, and those changes are going to be immediately clear to any reader out there – both old and new.

Good to know that this series is planning on keeping every promise made.
