Book Review: Black Widow Vol. 2 by N. Edmondson et al.

Black Widow Volume 2: The Tightly Tangled Web written by Nathan Edmondson and illustrated by Phil Noto and Mitch Gerads

For my review of the first volume, go here.

Natasha Romanov (aka Black Widow) runs through a bunch of international assignments, trying to earn money to pay back to people she has hurt. In this issue, she teams up with various other heroes (including Daredevil, the Winter Soldier, the Punisher, Hawkeye, and X-23). "Team up" is too strong a word for some of the situations. The issue with Punisher is paired with the same story told from the Punisher's point of view in his book, making a fun contrast. Her ongoing story is her relationship with her lawyer (not Daredevil) who is kidnapped by an enemy who wants chaos to rule.

The book has a subdued art style that fits with the (mostly) serious storytelling. The action is fun and Black Widow, even though she has turned to good, still struggles with her harsher inclinations. The book is entertaining and I will definitely read the next volume.

Recommended.
