The third and final volume of Edmundson and Noto's run on Black Widow comes to an end here and, like the rest of the run, it varies a lot in quality from issue-to-issue.Not the artwork! Phil Noto's artwork was consistently fantastic throughout. I even liked the change of style he employed on the last two issues, switching from fully painted to a more traditional (for comicbooks) ink rendering. No, Noto's artwork was always drool-worthy...The stories, on the other hand... Now, I'll start by sayin...

Natasha continues on her personal mission to atone for her past, and encounters a mysterious organization called CHAOS. The story becomes a bit mystical with religious undertones when Natasha speaks to one of the members, who tells her that if she chooses to work with them, she'll help to build a better future. But Natasha knows all about working for organizations that use nefarious means to their end. As usual, I loved the artwork, and how quiet the text is, letting the visuals carry a lot of t...

5 starsVery good comic book. Glad Isaiah wasn't dead. Also glad that Natasha was able to stop Chaos. Good to see the Avengers, Winter Soldier, and Maria Hill. Wonder what Natasha will do now that she quit S.H.I.E.L.D. Hope she will have fun with the Avengers. Also nice to see more scenes with the Red Room.

Is that it? Is it over? :(

Ehh not my favorite of the 3 books ending was a letdown

Didn't love this volume as much as 1 & 2 but I still vibed and I'm so sad this run is over!!Natasha gets kidnapped by a mysterious group but she's very skilled and can handle herself. I absolutely love how throughout this entire run Natasha is seen as an actual person with a traumatic history trying to work through her mistakes instead of "heh Black Widow is hot & sexy we gotta make sure her zipper is undone bro".She is a spy, an ex-assassin, a member of the Avengers and SHIELD and she is more t...

It's strange, because this is kind of a big book, but this volume felt a little rushed. Like Edmondson had the story planned out to take a certain number of issues, then found out the book was getting canceled? I'm not sure if it's ending because of Secret Wars or what, but the resolution just felt hurried. Especially because Natasha leaves the Avengers for what felt like five minutes. Some of that pacing was off, I think, because Edmondson really wanted to do this two part story at the end, set...

3 starsthe art is still my favourite art of this series tbh.also why’d she kill the cat in the end 😳

3.5*I will always be utterly in love with the art work in this series. It's simply gorgeous. I'm sad to see this come to an end but I'm still not sure on how I feel about it. I enjoyed it for its art style and story kept my attention, I always wanted to know what was going on but I felt as though the story was a bit all over the place and I'm still not 100% sure I know exactly what *was* going on! I don't know whether I found it confusing as this is the first Marvel series I've read but I just d...

A cold war thriller set in modern times. I love the noirish vibe. Phil Noto's art is perfect for this book.

I kept hoping this title would get better, but it just never moved out of that mediocre spot (for me). I never felt any real connection to Natasha, and (worse) I never felt like Natasha had any real connections to anything. She just did what she did, because...she did it? I don't know.And besides that, this title was just depressing.I'm assuming that this was the last volume of this particular incarnation of the Black Widow, and next There is only Secret Wars... Whatever.I'm not sorry to see...

I thought the series was taking an upswing when The Tightly Tangled Web (Vol. 2) was enhanced by the many guest appearances. Last Days (Vol. 3), though, takes a step back to the sort of brusque but sometimes dull manner of the series' first volume. However, it's not altogether bad and there are a few things that make it worth reading -- Winter Soldier's nick-of-time quasi-deus ex machina arrival; flashbacks to 'Natty's' childhood days on the cold, harsh streets of mother Russia; and the final tw...

Far better than previous Edmonson/Noto volumes.The ending was rushed because of the Secret Wars upcoming cancel and reboot of all Marvel series, but the cuban story and the little black widow one were really great.(view spoiler)[I loved the reference to the "Daredevil:end of days" possible future, I am a fan of Matt and Nataha as a couple since I was a kid. :D (hide spoiler)]Highly recommending this volume just for these parts and for Noto's art.But of that and a few good issues more, the whole

I again enjoyed this third and final volume in this Black Widow series.(A review for the entire series and more can be found on my blog!)The art was very consistent throughout the entire series, something I'm a fan of and the artwork itself grew on me more and more. The story was very fast paced with lots of action in this volume which made for another quick read. But like in the previous volumes I felt like sometimes I didn't quite grasp what was going on. Especially the final two chapters were...

Third and final volume of the 20-issue Black Widow run written by Nathan Edmondson and inked by Phil Noto.Great ending to the story, but it sure was depressing. Seemingly hopeless, especially the last issue depicting her time in Cuba while part of the Soviet's Red Room Initiative. Edmondson tried to end it on a hopeful note, but it just didn't quite make it there.The artwork, as in the previous two volumes, was fantastic, especially the serene vision of the future the Prophet put into Natasha's

This is my fifth book by Nathan Edmondson and I've grown really fond of his writing. I just plan to hunt down everything he has written. Since he often writes Punisher and X-Men, certainly it won't be a disappointment.And Phil Noto's art. Just wow. The intricacy of the art is just beyond anything I've seen in graphic novels. It's fascinating and seductive. And the storyline and the narration makes reading it quite addictive. I'm not a fan of the idea but execution is really good. Nat's character...

Cloak and dagger spy adventures. The heart and soul of the Black Widow. This is her forte, being a spy, cold-hearted when the need arises. Not out in deep space fighting Thanos or such. These stories bring out the bad a## in the Black Widow. Thanks to Comixology Unlimited, I have been able to read all 3 Volumes of this version of the Black Widow (issues #1 to #20). Excellent stories and plots. I have several other BW collections to choose from next.

It was ok-ish. Reading month-to-month, I really lost the thread, and I don't think they gave the resolution to the invisible guys conspiracy? Maybe I just forgot. There were some good moments, but as a whole, it was a very forgettable run in my opinion. The only thing that stuck with me is the incredible art by Phil Noto. I now can't imagine Natasha any other way, the way he portrayed her is perfect. And not even Scarlett Johansson could change that :) (although I do think that SJ is pretty awes...

Last Days was a good wrap up to what has been a pretty great run. I especially appreciated the art style. If you haven't read this Black Widow series yet, I highly recommend it.

this series was so depressing. nat's backstory and mentality is very isolating, which made these heavy whereas most comics are really light. i love this characterization and the art though. (view spoiler)[that being said, every time natasha gets paired with someone who is not clint a kitten dies!!! i'm sick and tired of clint/natasha erasure!! (hide spoiler)]
