Does this mean that Natasha is having two self-titled books with new content in April? Nice!
I'm looking forward to seeing how Kelly writes her. She's got the range, having written both Kate Bishop and Jessica Jones, who are very different characters.
Oooh, that's very good news. Of all the writers around, I'm very happy to hear Thompson is getting Nat, as I really liked her Rogue and Gambit series and her Jessica Jones series, since those two show I think she can handle history and a darker tone, both of which I think Nat needs to succeed.
Oh, man, this interview is great. Thompson says she wants to move away from the Red Room as the center of Nat's stories. It's like she reads these forums (she does, actually, sometimes ). The series looking forward, not backwards! Amazing!
This really seems like a passion project for Thompson, and I'm really glad - I want someone on Nat who has wanted to tell as Black Widow story, and has developed their skills as Thompson has. Now we just need to buy it so we can get two or more years out of it!

Its funny how in the trailer they once again tried to sell it with "she's haunted by her past" hahah but I do look forward to this.
It's no secret that I like Kelly's work and I am now gonna read that interview that was linked.

The villain group she mentions has piqued my interest. A few are classic BW enemies, so I'm hoping for Iron Maiden or Black Lotus.
They seem to refer to villains from her past and not the Red Room though.
Always thought it was a missed opportunity that they didn't make Viper a recurrent villain for Natasha so I'm happy she'll be in this one. Not that much for Red Guardian but as he's in the movie they had to shove him in apparently. Snapdragon should be fun, I like that classic story she was in. Weeping Lion is okay I guess.
Seems like Thompson is becoming Marvel's go-to for relaunching their high profile female heroes, especially when they haven't had the best selling history in terms of ongoings. She's been able to make Carol Danvers a seller again, so why not Black Widow?
I wonder if the cover by Adam Hughes is indicative that we're going back to the classic look. I'd have to think they'd use the Samnee design in the first major promotion for the book.
I'm sure everyone is happy about moving forward instead of dwelling on the Red Room for the umpteenth time. I'm kind of surprised Yelena and Red Guardian will be in it, not because of movie synergy, but because they've already got their own comic coming out.
Better Thompson than the last two creative teams. I may have liked Houser's last issue a lot, but the other four were more than a little draggy. Is Carol selling decently again under Thompson?
I can't actually really tell the difference between the Samnee design and what Hughes has done here.
Yelena and Red Guardian only having a one shot means that they're open for an ongoing, and I like the idea of continuing to give Nat more ongoing supporting characters.

Not even close to my favorite creative teams but this is better than nothing.
