For the millionth time in my life I wish that Goodreads would allow half star ratings because this would be a 3.5. I'm still not completely feeling this series or the art. I just can't connect to it and I don't know if that's intentional because of how guarded Natasha is. Then again I had no problems connecting with the previous volume.
I did enjoy this issue more than the past two and the art was, like always, really good during the action sequences. I decided to round up to a four because I'm all about learning more of Natasha's past. There was also a quote in here about scars that really spoke to my heart and that I related to a lot.
I will of course keep reading because Natasha is my babe. Hopefully, this is a sign that I'll start enjoying this series more.

Beginning to think this is the best superhero book on the market. The visual storytelling is just so impressive and expressive. It's gorgeous to look at every month and even without much dialogue, so much narrative is relayed every time. This issue especially is a showcase for Matt Wilson's colors, which are always good, but are really dynamic here. I wish I could read a new issue every week.

An Open Letter to Marvel
Dear Marvel,
First off, big fan. Huge fan, in fact. I love your movies and your comic books and your t-shirts, but we have a serious problem. Black Widow does not have her own movie yet. Black Widow does not have her own movie yet, and we want one. We want one, and you kept expressing vague interest in it. It's like when your mom tells you about something while you're on your phone and you just go, "Cool. Great, Mom, I'll check it later." We all know later never comes. We know that trick, Marvel.
If you want to see what a Black Widow movie should look like, take a look at the new Black Widow series by Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. It's fun, exciting, and complex. Natasha is a fascinating character with a complex backstory, and these writers respect her. She's not used as a romantic interest or side character. Natasha Romanova is more than that. This issue especially explores her past in the Red Room and revisits some old memories for her. It's fantastic, and I just want a Black Widow movie, okay? I want a movie that explores her origin story: the Red Room and her relationship with the Winter Soldier, how she joined SHIELD, her partnership with Clint, her decision to wipe out the blood in her ledger... Use these comic books as your script. I'm totally okay with that.
Marvel, you know we want it. You know we'll buy tickets for it. Please do it. Again, big fan!
Best wishes,
Lola
