Synopsis

Black Widow (2010 series) #7 synopsis by reviewer Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

Nick Crane awakens chained to a bed in a Roanoke, Virginia, motel. Black Widow explains that when he tried to shoot her in the face, she responded with a Widow’s Kiss, an instant knock-out drug. And now she wants to know his source, the anonymous person who identified her as the one behind a series of political deaths including his own father’s suicide. Nick, like a good journalist, refuses…

…then a band of armed men break in and take Nat and Nick prisoner. They are flown to a secret CIA base in Poland where they are dumped in a pit in the middle of a deserted factory. This was arranged by Nat with her CIA contact, Agent Mitchroney, so she could be alone with Nick to question him. But then they are taken out and strapped to tables in a medical lab, which is a surprise to Natasha. Mitchroney reveals that Nat and Nick are wanted for the murder of Senator Whit Crane, Nick’s father, and are about to be interrogated. Natasha spits a pellet into Mitchroney’s neck, picks her handcuff with a hypo, and shoots her way out with his gun. They flee the building to face a band of guards in the snow; Nat takes them all down with her Widow’s Bites and they speed off on a snowmobile….

Black Widow (2010 series) #7 Review by (August 6, 2024)

Review: Yikes! We ended the last issue with Natasha being shot in the face but it must have been some secret chemical, judging by her first appearance on page 3 with the too small head! Wait, that wasn’t intentional…? Anyway, the story continues its fast-paced action-filled adrenaline rush, ending with some more bad guys. Ah but can they sustain this?

Comments: Introduction of Fantasma whose only other appearances are in WIDOWMAKER (2010), the follow-up to this series. I have no idea which one of the two thousand or so Crimson Dynamos this is; no problem, neither does Natasha (see next issue).
