Possibly the worst Black Widow art I've seen yet. She doesn't look a tenth as human as every other character in the book, and one's an android! Horrible. The story's mediocre at its best, but it is interesting to see a story about Russians in the perestroika era before the revolution. Of course, given that it was written in the 80s, Natasha is defined solely by her relationships with various men and not what she chooses on her own terms. It's a decent object lesson in gender politics and men show more just flat not getting it. show less

This is a hard one. I'm a huge Black Widow fan and there just aren't a lot of solo stories starring her. And I do actually like the story here and much of the dialogue. However, the artwork is some of the ugliest art I've seen in super hero comics. It really drags down the entire product. However, the writing is more important to me, so I'd still recommend this,

Being an avid (albeit lapsed due to life stuffs) player of SWTOR, when I found the second volume at B&N for $5, I eager bought it, then purchased the other two from Amazon. It was thrilling to read about characters from the stories in SWTOR. Many of the NPCs you interact with, or the lore you live in video game mention the characters in this graphic novel. To read more about them was like seeing an old friend. The stories had depth and trauma and humor, with the classic Star Wars flair. show more These were enjoyable, and worth reading. show less

This was published back in 1990 when the Cold War was still on everyone's minds. When the Black Widow is contacted by the KGB, they inform her that her husband, long believed dead, may still be alive. But the only way she can see him again is if she steals secret American tech for the Russians. Entertaining.
