It was fun and funny, but also had some great character moments. Natasha having a spa day with Jess was a highlight, as how often do we get to see Natasha just hang out with friends anymore? And of course Nat/Clint/Jess is my golden trio and the foundation I am dying to have any team book built on.
    Yeah well I know who I ask to co-write whenever marvel calls me to write an ongoing of my choosing ;D

    Let's hope it is unrelated because after all this time you would think Marvel would learn to talk with their creators and at least give them enough time to wrap things up.

    Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.

    Don't think so but complete solicitations for May should be announced this week so we'll know by then. Fully expecting that there won't be a BW #16 and the series is cancelled.

    Given KT's silence on the matter and non specific grumpy tweets, so do I.

    Haha, too bad. Was curious about your reasons. As someone who doesn't want Nat to be in any relationship (guess one could call me a singleNat shipper) I'd say Bucky was the lesser evil compared to the others as he at least wasn't a complete douchebag towards her.

    Well I'll give you that much: At least part of it (which is an issue I have with a lot of boats across fiction) is that a lot of the fans of it start treating the characters as way too co-dependent rather than individual characters who stand and exist on their own regardless of who they are with going so far as to constantly criticize every Nat story that doesn't deal with the Bucksman for a perceived omission.
    Some characters are designed to be a package deals, Natasha is not.

    I'm not someone who really sails the shipping seas myself* I'm more than fine with "shipping Nat with herself" as you put it


    *with the exception of the mean tweet I'll write when One Piece ends in 2943 without making Nami and Vivi a thing, lol

    I see what you mean about fans complaining about the two of them not being in each other's solos, but I think it would be less of an issue if Marvel didn't insist on breaking up good couples all the time. I actually think that if Natasha and Bucky were together, it would be less "controversial" (so to speak) when one of them didn't show up in the other one's stories.

    Take Marjorie Liu's run on Black Widow as an example — it's highly regarded as one of Natasha's best solo runs, it's written while she and Bucky are dating, and yet it's a story about Natasha herself, and Bucky barely shows up. And when he does she up, she doesn't rely on him to save her; he just adds an extra sprinkle of romance into a story that's already well-rounded. And you don't hear shippers complaining that he doesn't appear often enough.

    He shows up just as often in the most recent books where they're not together (I think her only recent solo where he hasn't appeared was the Madripoor one by the Soska sisters), but it's not satisfying, because Marvel teases them still being in love but won't actually put them back together. I think the complaints are happening because fans are worried that Marvel is going to have them drift apart and not be in each other's lives anymore, so the fans feel like they need to be louder about it to remind Marvel that people still want them together. If they were together and things felt like they were stable, the fans wouldn't feel as pressing a need to see them in each other's solos all the time.

    I could be wrong — that's just the impression I get.

    Speaking of love interests: Back when Clint and Matt fought over who should be with Nat, completely ignoring that maybe she should have a say in that matter. No wonder Tasha was more concerned for her beautiful bay window than for these two jerks
