Comic Book Review: Black Widow #1

Natasha is back!! Now before we continue lets get caught up. We now have new writers and artists for this series. After the last series came to a close, with Nat returning home after supposable having killed her best friend, we now enter in to a chaotic scene where Nat has now become an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The dialogue is very minimal in this first issue, leaving the reader guessing as to what sparked Nat becoming an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D. But the lack of dialogue does not take away from the comic at all; the art steps in to fill the gap and missing pieces. Page after page is filled with action and Nat trying to out run other agents. It truly feelings like you are watching a movie instead of reading a comic. Now for some, this feeling can be a draw back but it should not be, the reader becomes so immersed into the storyline that you forget you are reading.

For those that have been following my reviews for a while, you know that I love details about the character that have not been previously exposed. Well that aspect is not in this first issue and it does not seem that these new writers are going to be revealing a lot of Nat’s past but taking her story in a different direction. Even though for me those details about her life make her story more interesting, I can not wait to see where these new writers and artists take Nat and I highly recommend picking up a copy of this comic and joining in on the journey.
