Daredevil Epic Collection #17
In "Hot Flashes," writer Jim Starlin and artist Joe Chiodo deliver a chilling, high-stakes thriller as the Black Widow is sent by Nick Fury to track a killer targeting SHIELD psi-agents—only to vanish into a nightmare. Daredevil shadows her, but when both are captured, Natasha awakens in a remote cabin, trapped in a psychological and physical fight for survival against the sadistic duo of psychic vampire Rosie and the brutal serial killer Charlie. With haunting visions of Rosie’s past and a desperate struggle to reclaim her mind, the Widow must fight not just for her life, but for her very identity. The cover by John Romita Jr. and Al Williamson captures the tension perfectly.
