We see glimpses of Natasha’s past through the story, and the volume closes with the start of her career with the Red Room. It was a very difficult way to close the book, and it served to remind us who she truly was, and what she came from.

\"black-widow-phil-noto\"<\/a>As with the previous versions, the art is wonderful.

Despite the darkness of the ending, and despite the story threads involving other Marvel characters with which I was not familiar, I still highly recommend this series.
