Black Widow- Anyone reading the book?

[ChrisInBaltimore]

Anyone been reading this title? I picked it up on a whim and really enjoyed it.

 

I meant to pull it but forget and missed the second issue. It has already gone to a second print. It might be a slow burn speculative book since that is what people like to hear. Thoughts?

 

Story wise it was interesting and showed a lot of promise. I could see the book doing well with the film and rise in interest.

I LOVE Noto's art style so I picked this up from day one. Been pretty happy with it, I think there's a lot of potential, I like the characterization they are choosing for Natasha.

I thought about checking it out since Black Widow is one of my favorite female characters. It's worth a pickup then?

Phil Noto does a stunning job on the art, I know his style's not for everyone but I love it and I think it fits this book well. Its also a really great version of the Widow personality wise.

I'd say give it a go. It's pretty solid. Nothing spectacular (besides the art) but definitely better than a lot of other Marvel titles. 8/10 for me

I really didn't have any interest in Black Widow but I picked up the first issue at the behest of my friend and I loved it, same with the second issue. Think the story is going in an interesting direction, similar style to the current Hawkeye I think but just more sombre.

Its cool to see the day to day of the non-powered avengers outside of their cosmic scale Infinity type event activities. But for me Noto is the real star of this book.

Both Punisher and Black Widow are good. Congrats to Nathan E.

Is Punisher good? I just loved Rucka's run so much I don't think anything would compare.

 

And I enjoyed the first issue of the book a lot.

This series is reminiscent of Palmiotti and Noto's 2002 mini-series from Black Bull - Beautiful Killer.

 

An unheralded gem.

 

There were rumors before of a movie with Alba as the lead. If that were to materialize, then it might get some attention. Hah!

I like Widow when she hangs out with DD.

Other than that, I usually pass.

 

If this turns out good, I may pick up the trade.

I read the first 3 of these (piling up in my pull-list), I have to say I quite like it. The book is definitely trying to capture that Hawkeye/Gambit/Ms. Marvel feel of a hero's "regular life" outside the team.

 

It also has a very strong "elektra, the movie" vibe to it, with her handler, the missions, and the when is it right or wrong to kill type deal-y-o. I am always at least a month behind (no spoilers please), but from the way 3 ended, it seems like it will be a mix of "regular life" and some MCU interactions from time to time.

 

I sure hope so, great so far, and I love the cover art to #3.

I find the art distracting.

Too washed out - not enough detail for me. Though this is pretty.

 

[CrisisOnInfiniteE]

That is exactly how I feel. Too washed out. Attractive but not defined enough.

And I loved Noto on Uncanny X-force. This is a different look.

 

[CBT]

It is definitely a different kind of look, but I actually dont mind it. Not my favourite, but I have endured much worse in other books. I read 4 yesterday and am still digging the book. Latest issue had a borne feel to it, and it continues to be an enjoyable, non-sex'd up take on widow.

[ChrisInBaltimore]

I like the art. It is different and I enjoy that in my mainstream comics. It doesn't make it feel overly flashy and they aren't trying to make Widow a sex symbol so I read the book.

[Comicopolis]

I'm finding the art quite mesmerizing now - like being drunk and thinking that every woman in the bar is gorgeous.

 

Only to sober up and realize that they are all transvestites.
