Black Widow and the Marvel Girls: Series Review

Hello! I'm back, after an extremely long hiatus. I apologize for that, I haven't found anything to review (no new movies, tv shows, and hardly any new books), so it's been a bit slow on Tegan's Library (I say slow, more like nonexistent). Anyway, I back today (actually, this was supposed to be up yesterday) with a new review! And this one is about another one of my favorite comic book series, one that I've only recently finished collecting (back in March at MegaCon). And that series is Black Widow and the Marvel Girls.
 How did I come across this comic series? Well....I'm not sure how, but sometime last year, I think, I ended up on it's page on the Marvel website, and I was interested. I mean, a comic with Black Widow and Wasp? Titled Black Widow and the Marvel Girls? I was hooked!
 It took a while to actually remember to look for it at the comic store, though (if I remember correctly), but I quickly found the first two issues, and later the third, then finally the fourth (it was a mini-series). So, onto the review!

Synopsis:
In the four-part miniseries titled Black Widow and the Marvel Girls, Natasha Romanoff (otherwise known as the Black Widow) teams up with the super heroines, and sometimes villains, of the Marvel verse, teaming up with the Wasp and Storm, among others.

Issue One:
Issue one introduces us to Natasha Romanoff, who is currently on a mission for...well, I guess SHIELD, I don't think it ever actually mentioned who she was working for. Natasha uses her wits a lot in this issue, and outsmarts the baddies more than once, and we get some insight on her past. It's a pretty good first issue in my mind, and it's really enjoyable.

Issue Two:
Natasha is joined with the Avengers in this issue, all of whom are having a hard time trusting her. Fate ends up having Natasha and Janet Van Dyne, otherwise known as the Wasp, team up in order to survive. This is by far my favorite issue of all of the series.

Issue Three:
Natasha is seen working for SHIELD, and is attempting to track down a brand new superhero on the team, per orders of Nick Fury. But when they discover a threat from the past, things get more interesting. While this issue is not as enjoyable as the previous one, it's still a wonderful story.

Issue Four:
The final issue features Natasha teaming up with Storm and an unlikely, uneasy ally. This one I'll admit is my least favorite of the whole series, but I can't really describe why. It's still a great comic, with some great moments (and I love, love, love one of Natasha's outfits in it), it's just not as great as the rest in my opinion.

Note:
I am really sorry I haven't been updating much, but I haven't been able to figure out anything to review. Tomorrow, however, I might be posting a review for tonight's episode of Pretty Little Liars, so...
Beyond that, I'm not quite sure, as it's been slow on the news front, and the TV show front. I might even start reviewing some of the Deep Space Nine episodes I've been watching with my Dad. Who knows?

  1. I have not read or heard of this comic before. Sounds cool though, and I enjoyed reading the review. :)

    I agree though, aside from Star Wars Ep. 7 news, there has not been a lot to talk about or review in general. I have also noticed that people are not on blogger as much in general for whatever reason.

    1. Thanks!
      Well, I've got at least tomorrow's post planned out (it'll be a AOS theory of mine), an it's scheduled to post. I don't follow very many blogs on Blogger, but I don't know why. Maybe because it's summer time?
