About the series
From 2014 to 2015, Marvel’s Black Widow series, written primarily by Nathan Edmondson with art by Phil Noto, stripped Natasha Romanoff of her spy gadgets and support network, forcing her to rely on raw skill and instinct in a globe-spanning thriller. This 20-issue run emphasized a moody, cinematic tone, with Noto’s painted visuals lending a gritty realism to her solo missions. It stands as a defining modern take on the character, showcasing her as a lone operative navigating moral ambiguity and lethal consequences.
