Black Widow 1: S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Most Wanted

Mark Waid and Chris Samnee continue to redefine Marvel's classic characters. These first six issues easily stand on their own as powerful and iconic storytelling; it's just as gripping as the acclaimed Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey Moon Knight run from 2014. Waid proves that he can carry on the brutal and badass characterization from Nathan Edmondson's previous run, and nobody conveys clear action and movement like Chris Samnee. Matt Wilson also graces the book with his beautiful palettes, and it looks like this Daredevil team isn't going to stop delivering amazing comics anytime soon.

This issue is like the opening to a Bond film. It's a non-stop, well orchestrated & fast-paced chase scene with excellent hand-to-hand combat, gunplay, & vehicular fanfare-- and with some sci-fi elements thrown in! It's breathtaking, & as exciting as one could want in an opening! I love dialogue, but this is a fun Bond-like opening! Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

With a great story like this, tell me, why hasn't Marvel Movies turned this into a kick a&& movie? Great action sequences and a plot with plenty of twists and turns. If you haven't read this already, I'll wait here while you go. Buy. Read. This is good stuff, Maynard!

I love this series and everything it is doing with Black Widow's past trying to haunt her. If marvel gets around to making a Black Widow movie (which they should) they should just adapt this book it would fit perfectly in the MCU with very little change necessary. This a great read I would recommend to anyone interested in the character.

Waid and Samnee lay down a marker basically storyboarding an awesome black widow movie. The dialoguless first issue is a tour de force of action art that really shows off just how good Samnee is at telling a story in exciting and unpredictable ways. If your interest is even slightly piqued do yourself a favor and just pick this up you will be very happy you did! Now let's hope Marvel can keep them on this book for a long time!

Super good. Corners a little damaged, but over all in good shape.

I had high hopes going into this comic, and I was not disappointed in the least. I need volume 2 today. The artwork is muted but detailed, and the story line flows beautifully.

The narrative abused several spy story tropes for the first 80% of the story, but the last act saved an otherwise uninspired story. Like many other books starring this character, this one still uses the "dark secrets" weakness as a crutch. Long-time fans of Black Widow will see where the story is going. And since this is an ongoing story, don't expect any level of closure or resolution.

A HQ é otima, pena que o preço fica bem salgado pro Brasil =(

se forem fazer um filme da viúva negra, que seja desta hq! ♡

Hugely enjoyable run, and my only regret is that it didn't last longer.

The book was in good shape

I was not a big fan of Black Widow to start with, but the story & art by Mark Waid & Chris Samnee convinced me to give it a try, and I was not disappointed. 1st part of 2, lots of twists, dynamic art & a real page turner. Refreshing to read how a character who isn't enhanced by godly powers or an armour can achieve her goals.
