REVIEW: Black Widow, #11

[Aliltron]

I really liked the story, this is probably my favorite Marvel series, but I feel like this story with Chaos is really dragging on, so I hope we get some answers next month.

Eh, I'd say the reason the story ever feels like it drags is because of the style of the creators. Edmonson feels like the anti-Bendis in terms amount of panels/dialogue per page, and Noto isn't one to tightly pack in a lot of content on a single page. I feel like this issue and the last issue in particular have had a lot more forward movement, or at least story density in terms of both action and resonant character moments. The way they touched on her relationships with Hawkeye and Laura felt pretty satisfying and emotionally valid.

I think what's left for them is to show why Chaos is so threatening - why they make the Indestructible Man so scared, how they can get Tori, Rashid, Crossbones in their grasp so easily. I have a feeling we're going to get to see that in the next issue.
