‘BLACK WIDOW’ MONTHLY COMIC dropping courtesy of EDMONDSON AND PHIL F**KING NOTO

Fuck to the yiggity yes. Lame intro? Fuck you! I rule this roost with mediocrity and stupidity! Anyways. There is a Black Widow monthly coming, and the team behind it is stacked with wunder-prowess. Nathan Edmondson? Check. Phil fucking Noto? Check.  Underlined. Starred.

Hit the jump for a look at the first cover and more details.

Marvel Comics’ Black Widow is best known as a member of the Avengers and a top operative of the U.N. controlled espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., but she wasn’t always a hero. In the early days of the Cold War, the woman who would come to be known as the Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, was transformed into a genetically enhanced spy, saboteur and assassin by a secret arm of the Soviet Union’s intelligence service.

After years of faithful service Natasha’s Soviet masters tasked her with bringing down Tony Stark. It was her encounters with Iron Man and another future Avenger, Hawkeye, that led to her defection from the Soviet Union and a new heroic path. Though she’s walked the righteous path for many years now, the death and destruction in the Black Widow’s past still weigh heavily on her conscience — and she’s ready to do more than atone for them.

This January, writer Nathan Edmondson and artist Phil Noto kick off a new “Black Widow” ongoing series that will allow her to do exactly that. CBR News spoke with Edmondson about his plans for the All-New Marvel NOW! series, announced by Marvel during yesterday’s “Avengers” panel at New York Comic Con, which chronicles Natasha time away from the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.
