Was a treat to see Natasha's first-ever comics appearance and to see how she's developed as a character overall in the early years. She very much gets a lot of the 'oh she can't do these things because she's a woman' but handles it with grace and general badassery. I live for women proving men wrong, especially in comics where men seem to think female characters are reserved for eye candy.

Black Widow: Sting of the Widow is a mixed bag of stories. The hardcover includes Natasha Romanoff's introduction in Tales of Suspense 52 as a glamorous agent out to investigate Tony Stark and Iron Man. For their best agent, she doesn't do all that much, except charm and distract Stark. Then the book shifts more to her costumed adventures when she gets her black jumpsuit and armbands. Her solo adventures feel very street level, rather than worldly spy. The Daredevil story feels really out of place, both in mood and style. I might have preferred the stories in between her intro and her new costume instead, how she joined the Avengers. Maybe they'll collect it in other places.
