Tom Raney

In my opinion slightly rushed story-line. There is no tension here because it is more than obvious that Black Widow will defeat all of her enemies.

Where this volume delivers is personal history of Black Widow - how she became super-spy and assassin. Everything else seems to be just a background story to keep the page-count at regular level. I think that they could have done much better - for example imagine story in the likes of Wolverine Origins or X-Weapon, that would be awesome :) - but I guess that Black Widow was always on the margins and not class-A Marvel hero.

Nevertheless interesting story (character background) and therefore 3.5 stars (3 stars in goodreads since I cannot find half-star rating :))

Recommended for fans of Marvel's hero stories and Black Widow in particular.… (plus d'informations)

Put me in the 5% (of people who gave this 5 stars) because this was awesome! The first half wasn't as exciting as the second, it was more setup and I'm not sure at all why Blue Beetle was included or that "god" guy. But the Star Hawkins/Ilda stuff was amazing, their banter was hilarious and the Larfleeze stuff had me laughing the whole time too. The art totally rocked with random aliens walking around in the background all the time.

The serious stuff was cool too. The "Hunted" plot seemed like something you would see as a movie plot, the twist ending was amazing, and I LOVED K-Rot. More please. You can leave out the Lanterns if you want, except Larfleeze… (plus d'informations)
