A Russian killer who also happens to be an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and an Avenger gets the new series treatment from writer Nathan Edmondson and artist Phil Noto with Black Widow #1.
Though she now walks a righteous path, Natasha’s past is paved with bloody memories. The death and destruction from her past as a KGB assassin still haunts her – and she now seeks atonement for past sins. Atonement that will take her to the darkest corners of the Marvel Universe and beyond. And commit acts the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. would not approve of.
“Phil Noto and Nathan Edmondson have one those magical creative partnerships that brings out the best in both of them,” stated series Editor Ellie Pyle. “Together they bring you a Natasha who is unsettlingly human in the midst of all the action and intrigue you’d expect.”
Black Widow #1 which includes variant covers by J. Scott Campbell, Milo Minara and Skottie Young goes on sale January 8, 2014.
