I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Black Widow: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Most Wanted by Mark Waid (Writer), Chris Samnee (Writer and Artist), Matthew Wilson (Colorist), and VC's Joe Caramagna (Letterer)


This comic opens up explosively with the announcement of an S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that Black Widow is an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D. and to apprehend her at all costs.  Black Widow manages to escape the heliocarrier and the evade capture on the streets below.  She stole something from S.H.I.E.L.D. but she didn't have a choice.

She had been picked up by the person who wants her to do a job.  The Weeping Lion who has very sensitive material on her that he intends to make public if she does not do as he says wants her to steal something from S.H.I.E.L.D.  For now she is trapped into doing what he says.

He then wants her to fly to Russia to the Red Room from where she came and get a file. When she arrives she finds a surprise as the deserted building is not so deserted after all.  The program that created her was supposed to have been shut down, but when she runs into a young girl who stabs her in the basement, she has to wonder.

What is the Black Widow's secret that she doesn't want to get out and who is the Weeping Lion?  What is really going on in the old Red Room?  This is a fabulous comic. The plot is engaging and the artwork is stellar. The paneling for the fight and chase scenes are incredible and really bring them to life.  I can't wait to see how Black Widow wrangles herself out of this mess.
