This March, the Black Widow becomes…S.H.I.E.L.D.’s MOST WANTED! And it’s all happening in BLACK WIDOW #1 – the brand new series from Eisner Award winning Daredevil creative team. Writer Mark Waid, Artist Chris Samnee, Colorist Matt Wilson and Letterer Joe Caramagna re-team for the next explosive chapter in Natasha’s life!

Now, Natasha has become the one thing she never thought she’d be – public enemy number one! Betrayed by her former accomplices, with friend and foe alike nipping at her heels, all bets are off. With a lifetime of training and ingenuity at her disposal, she’s out for answers, and she’s going to get them any way she can. As long as S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t get her first!

Prepare for a knock-down, drag-out tale of action, adventure and espionage! All eyes are on the Black Widow. With her enemies closing in at every side, it’s time to show everyone why she is and always will be the world’s greatest spy. Be there when BLACK WIDOW #1 explodes into comic shops this March!

The art is a little confusing. I didn't know helicarriers were flying office buildings.

Looks good, not as good as the last volume but there isn't much that is given the beautiful Phil Noto art.

Man Im so excited for this. The wait has been far too long in my opinion.

All these variants covers are awesome. I would really pay money for those action figures if Marvel would actually produce them instead of them just being comic covers. I mean a red-haired badass spy with optional black wig, dual Desert Eagles, an Uzi, a M4 and short-barrel version of a Barret sniper rifle with silencer? That's even better than sex lol.

I also really love her updated suit. Probably because it now looks less like a slick and sleek black leather catsuit and more like an actual tactical uniform. Again the action figure variant cover really sells me on it though it doesn't look quite as awesome in the actual comic.

I was excited until I read Mark Waid was writing it. I'll wait for trade probably.

Looks great. Definitely getting the first couple of issues. If Waid impresses me then I'll add it ongoing.

Why couldn't Edmonson and Noto still be doing Widow? I hope the new bunch does a good job...

I think this series has a lot of promise. Black Widow has been a great title thus far, and so has Waid and Samnee's Daredevil. So having the team take the mantle makes sense. I'd probably collect this series, if ithe first 3 issues start off well.

Looks better visually than the last volume but let's see if the story will be anything good.

I'll be giving this a try, like most things from All New All Different Marvel. Maybe I'll even go back and check out Edmondson's run.

Yep, get ready for a ton of gags, quips and one liners. So glad he's off of Daredevil.

So far so good, but hopefully, the tone is more serious than his run on Daredevil.
