"Natasha Romanoff, A.K.A. Black Widow - ex-KGB, formerly with S.H.I.E.L.D...Probably the brains of this operation.I have followed her career, and she has been consistently UNDERRATED."
Hopefully they don't change it and it's really true and she's back to her old self, she and Peter then need to have a nice long talk...
At the end of the day I can live with the continuity confusion, I understand that it was two different writers who had her involved in two unrelated stories. Just after reading the issue i was trying to piece the two together and it doesn't really work out.
That being said despite it not including Spiderman, at this moment I think I prefer how her redemption was handled in Defenders. Her "wake up call" of being almost killed in her own apartment because of the path she was going down is a believable enough reason for her to rethink her life. I really liked the single panel a few issues back of her just looking sad and lost in the hospital room while Hammerhead argued with the police outside, it said a lot about her mindset without her having to say a thing.
I imagine most of her criminal run will be quickly shoved under the rug which will be a little weird that everyone will sort of forget the awful stuff she did. However, if that's the price to no longer have the Queenpin then I say it's worth it.
I just hope that she's fully back to her old self, who knows maybe she can be there for Peter when he and Mockingbird split up whenever that is...
You meant Felicia right...anyway as long as they're not going to put Peter and MJ together he and Felicia should get a real chance...
Great to see a return to her true self....what a misstep with the Queenpin angle

That's more her old self, always fun when she'd tease Peter and all...

I like it except for the tail...though maybe it's a tease for Peter...or not...
I never saw anything wrong with Peter and Bobbi. Although I felt that their relationship should have take its time to develop based on their common interests. IMO, Bobbi had more in common with Peter than she ever did with Hawkeye. There's nothing wrong with Peter in a relationship with a heroine, as long as its based on their common interests and shared beliefs. Case in point, aside from Bobbi, here are the following non-Spidey created characters who would work well with Spider-Man and Peter Parker:
Jennifer Walters
Black Widow
Jessica Drew
Betsy Braddock
Tigra
Carol Danvers
Silver Sable
Any of those relationship if done correctly (without compromising their character)could lead to some interesting stories....
I hope we get some Peter/Felicia in the future now that the Queenpin debacle is at an end. I always preferred her over MJ especially with Felicia's thoughts on her relationship with Peter in "The Evil Men Do".
