Black Widow #4

Natasha Romanoff looks anything but cornered — even as a sniper's crosshairs lock squarely onto her, red hair whipping in the wind and her black suit gleaming against a blood-red background. Daniel Acuña's cover for Black Widow #4 (2010) is all tension and momentum, with a spider symbol hovering ominously above the reticle as if the hunter and the hunted are one and the same. Marjorie Liu and Acuña's "The Name of the Rose, Part 4" promises the kind of spy-thriller intensity that makes this series a standout run from Marvel's 2010 lineup.
