Black Widow #9 Review by (November 2, 2021)

Review: Really enjoying this series. The plot for this arc is a little scattershot but the snappy dialogue and interplay between the heroines more than makes up for it. And each issue gets a double page action scene which can becomes a bit formulaic if they don’t mix it up a bit. Otherwise very nice.

Comments: Rafael de Latorre contributed to the penciling and inking.

Black Widow #9 Synopsis by Peter Silvestro

During their invasion of Apogee’s shell company, White Widow Yelena Belova has been electrocuted by one of the bad guys. The baddies pile on Black Widow and she responds in a rage, striking out and blasting them with a major sting. Lucy has followed Nat and Yelena and uses her electrical powers to restart Yelena’s heart. Nat gives her parachute to Lucy and Yelena to jump to safety while she goes without one and yet lands and has her car waiting for them….

Back at the Web, they find Spider-Girl who has a sample of Apogee’s serum. Nat releases Craig, captive scientist who was working for Apogee, explains the situation, and has him work on an antidote to the villain’s serum….

The next day: Nat, Yelena, and Anya are planning to crash Apogee’s mass dosing event that evening. Craig is still trying to finish up the antidote with Lucy to help. The latter two are left alone to work on their end of the mission. Craig reveals that he was recruited by Apogee because he had the power of usually making the right decisions. Lucy reveals her bitterness over being given electrical power against her will and seems to be contemplating a suicide mission against the villain….

That night, Nat, Yelena, and Anya infiltrate Apogee’s compound; as the ceremony begins, they leap in and take down several guards. Then Apogee takes a drug and grows into a giant with flaming hands to face down his enemies….
