I subscribed to this title partly because it features a female protagonist, and partly because I felt like the Avengers movie was an inadequate introduction to Natalia Romanova.

I love the stories. I love the art. I think I'd need to go digging into other TPB series to get a full education in the character's origin, but I really enjoy the present day setting and Black Widow's exploits when she's not with the Avengers.
