So I haven’t read any previous Black Widow series. Well, that’s not quite accurate. I’ve started one or two, but never seem to finish them. Still, I wanted to give this series a try because I’m stubborn, and because I like what they’ve been doing with her character lately.
So far I’m happy with what they’ve shown us. The series deals with events that happened at the end of Civil War II, for fairly obvious reasons. They can’t really avoid a few of those major facts. Speaking of, if you’re not up to date on that event then this will spoil things for you. Consider yourself warned.
I liked the tone of the issue, in the beginning, it felt oddly light, despite what they were dealing with. As time went on the tone got darker. It did a great job of showing us the inner demons that Natasha has been struggling with.
