Love this, the art is great, and its a good spy noir feel. I'll definitely keep reading.

I don't really read comics, unless it's old Tales from the Crypt comics, but something made me pick this one up from the library. OMG it is so good! The story, the animation/illustration, the characters! Loved it all.
The panels weren't too hard to follow unlike some other comics. I can't wait to read the whole Black Widow series!

i really like the drawing style of this. I like the pace and the way the story is told. Makes me really want to know more about her, about her past.
She's trying to be good using the skills that made her bad in the first place. It's a really interesting theme. What's good, what's bad...
I don't have time for a full review, but I really enjoyed this. It's a easy and yet intriguing read that gives you a thirst for more. And it's black widow... like common... who doesn't like to read about powerful/badass woman ?

There is SO much to love about this volume. First off, Black Widow is a badass, plain and simple, and this story doesn't take away from that at all. It does, however, paint a very realistic picture of her "adventures." She makes mistakes, feels lonely, and struggles with the idea of how difficult it is to balance trust and doubt with people you allow into your life. The artwork is beautiful as well. Definitely a good read.

I wanted to like this more than I did. While the art is stellar, the actual story is a little lacklustre, much like Natasha herself. Introspective, constantly wrongfooted and lacking any wit or humour. It's a somewhat maudlin affair. To rub it in, the highlight of the piece comes as a 2 panel Hawkeye visual gag cameo, forcing unfavourable comparisons to that excellent series. I'm not sure I'm going to keep reading.

Don't murder me, but Nat has never been my favorite. I loved her in TWS but I guess I've just gotten lackluster versions of her in a few of the comics I've read.
I loved her again in this one, though. She's a little melodramatic, a little too "Dark Knight" for my tastes, but I give her that. And she's just cool! She makes mistakes but she's still skilled and capable; she's human but still a badass.
And that art, man. Fantastic.

Beautiful artwork accompanies this well-written tale that has the flavor of a cold-war-era espionage thriller. A fun read.

Storyline was okay. Writing was okay. Bad guy was cliché religious wacko. The art felt fuzzy, as if it could have been better clarified. Loved getting to see Maria Hill.
