☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection gathers Black Widow's adventures from the late 1990s and early 2000s, including the 'Widowmaker' storyline that pits Natasha Romanoff against a conspiracy involving the Red Room, the Black Widow program, and a cadre of deadly operatives. The volume collects issues from the 1999 Black Widow series and related crossovers, featuring appearances by Daredevil, Nick Fury, and the Punisher as Natasha confronts her past and faces off against the villainous Ghostmaker. It also includes the 'Black Widow: Pale Little Spider' miniseries, which delves into the origins of Yelena Belova, Natasha's successor as the Black Widow.
In "Back in the U.S.S.R.", Black Widow operates deep undercover in the Soviet Union, where a fleeting connection with a fellow defector stirs unexpected emotion—only to be shattered when he’s murdered before her eyes. As she navigates a web of deception, a shadowy adversary begins to close in, orchestrating a deadly ambush with six assassins poised to strike.
In "The Web Tightens!", Black Widow finds herself hunted by six deadly assassins, forced to rely on SHIELD agent James Woo to narrowly escape. With the trail leading them into the dark sewers, they're met with a new threat—Snap-Dragon—waiting in the shadows.
In "The Widow... Alone," Natasha Romanoff finds herself isolated and hunted when an impostor takes her place in the field, forcing her to confront a long-buried enemy: Damon Dran. With her mind and mission under siege, she must break through Ivan's conditioning and warn SHIELD before the deception becomes irreversible.
In "Abattoir," Black Widow is sent by Nick Fury to track a killer targeting SHIELD psi-agents, with Daredevil providing backup—until both are captured. Trapped in a remote cabin, Natasha endures a harrowing ordeal as the psychic vampire Rosie and the serial killer Charlie torture two SHIELD agents, forcing her to confront Rosie’s traumatic past through invasive mental flashes. When Daredevil finally finds her, he’s quickly overpowered, leaving Natasha to break free and face Charlie in a deadly confrontation—only for Rosie to seize control, driving her to the brink of self-destruction.
In "Dead End," the Black Widow delves into the mysterious death of Matt Murdock, uncovering a trail that leads her into a deadly confrontation with Osaku, a ruthless assassin tied to the secretive Snakeroot clan. Their clash reignites a long-buried history stretching back to the Black Widow’s time in Russia, where old wounds and hidden loyalties threaten to unravel everything.
