REVIEW: Black Widow, #8

[CBR News]

"Black Widow" #8 by Nathan Edmondson and Phil Noto feels even more haunted than usual, suffused with melancholia and the specters of what-might-have-beens as she runs into the Winter Soldier on a train heist in Prague.


Full review here.

...The Winter Soldier makes an appearance, and the plot involving a train heist is just a MacGuffin to get Bucky and Natasha on the same page, so that he can be torn by longing, while she remains oblivious. The recap page at the front tells the reader all there is to know -- Bucky remembers their old relationship while Natasha does not...

...The setting, the train and all the guns and shooting are just window dressing, though. Bucky and Natasha's team-up is less about their compatible abilities and much more about the tension between Bucky's intact recollections vs. Natasha's rewritten memory. It's a teaser, and the reader might feel an echo of Bucky's frustration...

Question: When exactly did somebody mess with her memory so she doesn't remember having a relationship James/Bucky?

The "Widow Hunt" arc of Brubaker's run of Winter Soldier. Brubaker did this to add angst to poor Bucky. I may never forgive him for this.....

I may never forgive him for this.....

Seriously. Brubaker did such a beautiful job with their relationship.

... and then killed it in the most horrible way possible.
