Black Widow Volume 3: Last Days written by Nathan Edmondson and art by Phil Noto
For my review of the first volume, go here, and for the second volume here.
Black Widow continues her search for redemption and to find out who is behind the enigmatic yet ever-present Chaos. Her lawyer/money manager has been shot and is slowly recovering in the hospital. She's been outed as having a very black past by a cable news network. She decides to lay low when she sees even her apartment is covered by news vans. But she won't stay on the sideline for long. She fights her way through the Chaos organization to reach a final conflict with The Prophet, a man possessed (maybe literally) by a vision of a better future. Black Widow doesn't buy it even though he offers her an easy life.
This book finishes the storyline for Edmondson. The ending is satisfying, creating an interesting character arc for Black Widow and a solution for the ongoing plot. The art as usual fits the story nicely. It is refreshing to read a book about a female character who isn't treated visually as a sex object. She doesn't even treat herself like a sex object.
Recommended.
