Black Widow Deadly Origin #1 (OF 4)
/cover-large.jpg)
Before she steals the world's heart in Iron Man II, get caught in the wicked web of Marvel's sexiest and deadliest super-spy! She's been everything from a Russian espionage agent to a Champion to an Avenger, now a skeleton from Natalia Romanova's past is reaching out for those she's loved and lost...and the Black Widow has many victims to choose from! From the frozen streets of Moscow to the upper stratosphere, writer Paul Cornell (CAPTAIN BRITAIN & MI3) and artists Tom Raney (DARK REIGN: HAWKEYE) and John Paul Leon (The Winter Men) deliver a globe-hopping, bone-breaking, high-tech thriller that reveals how Natalia's shadowy past threatens all she now holds dear. Guest-starring the Winter Soldier and Wolverine!

Paul Cornell wrote the much beloved Captain Britain and MI:13, Issue #6 of Young Avengers Spotlight, The Wisdom minii that turned into Capt. Britain and most recently he wrote the Dark Reign Young Avengers. He's a published novelist and wrote three episodes of the current run of Doctor Who. Tom Raney did the art on Annihilation Conquest, Uncanny X-Men (w/Joe Casey), Ultimate X-Men and the Dark Reign: Hawkeye series.
I'm going to check this out. Should be a good time.

Didn't he write that Fantastic Four: True Story mini that came out a little while ago too? It was pretty good if he did.

I don't get that cover though. What kind of pose is that? Is she drunk? Wait, she's Russian. Of course she's drunk!

I don't like Tom Raney. John Paul Leon should have drawn the whole issue.

Liked this quite a lot. Good start up, and hopefully a rule of thumb for Black Widdow's origins. A good spy book start.

Good start to the Mini. I'm gonna stick around for issue 2. I would like to know more about the Black Widow origin.
