Description
Collects Black Widow (1999) #1-3, Black Widow (2001) #1-3. Natasha Romanov has always led an exciting life - first as a Cold War-era Soviet spy, followed by her defection to the West. She has earned a reputation through the years as a consummate professional, coldly efficient and as deadly as her namesake. Now, her time as Black Widow may be at an end. Yelena Belova, the new Black Widow, seeks to claim the mantle she feels was stolen from her Motherland. Trained in the arts of espionage and show more combat, and anxious to prove herself and eliminate her counterpart, Belova will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. The battle of the two Widows rages from the deserts of the Middle East to New York's Upper West Side. When the smoke clears, will either be left standing? show lessTags

I love Devin Grayson's comics work; she seems to really know the characters she writes, and the Black a Widow is no exception. The art on theses stories is excellent as well. The Black Widow has few really good solo stories. These are some of the best.
Post cold war. A new Black Widow has been trained in Russia and wants to prove herself as an equal of the previous one. Post cold-war cooperation by Russia and the USA sees both being sent to the Middle East with the same assignment. Hi-jinks ensue. Decent enough.
Was curious about the black widow character, it seems ok so far.
