Natasha Romanov: Black Widow Appreciation 2019

[Winterboy]

OOTCS, l don't think Elektra and Natasha will team-up in Savage Avengers because Gerry Duggan Said something about a new team after the First arc.

The Black Widow is coming for you!

I wonder how Yelena in the film will influence her inevitable and long overdue reappearance in the comics.

I love/hate that it takes synergy to develop some of the most promising but undercooked loose threads.

[Cowtools]

Aside from the trade collection in which she first appeared, the only other story I’ve read with Yelena was the Nick Spencer Secret Avengers, in which she barely spoke and wore some kind of contraption over her face the whole time. It was confusing.
What other stories has Yelena featured in that are worth reading?

[Winterboy]

There's a story from MAX label but this is not for everyone's taste.

That's got me thinking. We know the Red Room indoctrinates girls (it happens in the comics too, this sounds like a faithful adaptation of Natasha's backstory), which is probably why these multiple Black Widows are a thing. Is it possible that Janet van Dyne had a second child after Hope, before getting stranded in the Quantum Realm, who then got kidnapped? Considering the age up Hank and Janet received, it's not impossible for Hope to have a younger sister, who would be much closer to the 616 character created as synergy - Nadia, the Unstoppable Wasp. If she was kidnapped as a baby and Hope was never told of her existence, it wouldn't contradict anything established. So that's a way she could be added to the MCU. I don't expect that to happen though. But I can see one Red Room recruit being called Nadia as an easter egg.

The Agent Carter show did some stuff with the Red Room as well, and Dottie Underwood was basically proto-BW.

Marvel....these three collected together are essentially your second Black Widow Omnibus. I'll get this in that format just solicit the Omni.

The 20 issues Edmondson BW run is an easy 3rd BW Omni.

Black Widow by Waid and Samnee: The Complete Collection TPB
Collecting: Black Widow (2016) 1-12

Are there some relevant issues around this Waid run that could pad it. They couldn't sell it as just a Waid Omni but I'd add the recently finished 5 issue mini by Soska for sure. I just don't prefer TPBs.

Too vague to interpret. The headline implies that she doesn't care about comic book canon at all, but the quote actually just says she won't include things that rub her the wrong way...which is basically the same thing that comic book writers do!

Super excited for all of these, it'll be amazing to finally have a bunch of these collected, especially the Team-Up stuff.
I'm not sure what Daredevil Annual #10 is doing there, there are plenty of DD stories I would rather see collected over that???

Wish the Widowmaker one didn't have to include Deadly Origin ... but at least it's a collection of the Liu run (and the Swierczynski run!) but hopefully without the bad cover from The Name of The Rose.

There's canon that I would rather they not include either but it's already in the movies :|
