Natasha Romanova: Black Widow Appreciation 2022

[Frontier]

No worries, judging from the solicit she'll hardly be in it, if at all.

False advertising, then .

They both look mind controlled to me.

Last time that happened they fought on the outside of a plane because they had to one-up that movie fight iirc.

If that was the goal they definitely failed.^^

I don't know I kinda liked how extra it was for two street level characters but I guess it was less memorable.

Maybe my expectations were too high because I liked the movie fight much. That said wasn't that also a case of false advertising? I believe they only fought on the wing of the plane on the cover whereas most of the actual fight happened inside of it.

Yeah most of it happened inside, the last third or so on the outside and I think it ended when both ended up brainwashed? Or she acts like she is? I don't remember it's been a while.

Yeah I think the fight that barely deserves being labeled as such ended with her also getting possessed after looking into his eyes. It was also not helped by good art to elevate it, quite the contrary. And man did the artist take fanservice too far, and I say that as someone who usually rarely complains about these things, but Nat's cleavage really looked ridiculous in that one.

The height of the unzipped era .

[Matternativ]

It's not just the unzipped suit, she's also stacked like she is applying for a manga role instead.

Hasn't she always been though ?

[Galerion]

Hasn't she always been though ?

I mean it's not a bad trait to have for a spy

[Matternativ]

Hasn't she always been though ?

Only if the art is bad.

Reading some back issues and was reminded how much I love Natasha. The greatest Marvel femme fatale. I know they aren't as close as depicted in the movies but any issues that display Natasha's relationship with the marquee Avengers? Steve, Tony, Clint, Thor? other characters are I'd love to read her alongside are Punisher and the Inhumans? any recommended reading

Tales to Astonish from a few years back and the recent Black Widow series had a bit of Clint and Bucky.

She has many stories with Clint but I feel other users might be better versed to give you recommendations for stories of them together.

The mini-series Web of Black Widow consists of five issues of which one puts the focus on her and Tony and one on her and Clint, and Steve also shows up, so you might try that one.

Avengers Assemble from 2012 by Bendis "coincidentally" had the same lineup as the movie, so there you are. Although Nat didn't get to do much as far as I can remember.

For Tony in particular:

Iron Man Vol 3 written by Kurt Busiek has a team-up of him and Natasha in issue 6 that I enjoyed. Then she also features as a guest star from issue 8 until 10.

Steve:

She featured quite frequently in Cap's book, e.g. in Gruenwald's Streets of Poison (#372 - #378) storyline. Harras' run on The Avengers had her and Steve as co-leaders for some time. Then there was Captain America and Black Widow from 2012.

Frank:

She had quite some run-ins with Frank, I liked their interactions in Rosenberg's Punisher run (War on the Streets arc) best. There is also Rucka's Punisher: War Zone, which had her and the core Avengers Tony, Thor, and Steve going after him.

Just like in the movies Thor might be the core Avenger she interacts with the least so I don't think there is much of them together. But for what it's worth Odinson was the one who invited her to the Avengers back in 1973 so at least they have that.
