Marvel announces ‘Black Widow’ ongoing comic from full ‘Daredevil’ creative team
The much cherished Daredevil creative team is turning their eyes on the Blackest of Widows. Waid, Samnee, Wilson, and Caramagna will be bringing their talents to the super spy’s next ongoing comic.
Following the conclusion of her previous ongoing series and a noticeable absence from the initial lineup of Marvel’s “All-New, All-Different” initiative, Entertainment Weekly has announced that “Black Widow” will return with an all-new ongoing series — this time from the“Daredevil” creative team of writer Mark Waid, artist Chris Samnee, colorist Matt Wilson and letterer Joe Caramagna.
When asked if the series would be a fresh start or pick up directly from where the previous run (from writer Nathan Edmondsonand artist Phil Noto) left off, Waid responded that their “Black Widow” would do “a little bit of both.”
“It’s similar to the way we approached Daredevil, in that we’re not picking up specifically from the end of the previous issue or specifically from any one moment. But we’re acknowledging that, and making use of the fact that what happened in the previous series happened, and using some of that stuff as a springboard,” said Waid. “And it is, by Marvel time, at least eight months later. It’s not the next day, anyway. Especially in issue 2 in particular, we’re sort of spring boarding off of some of the previous events, but not so specifically that anyone should feel like they’re missing anything if they didn’t read the previous run.”
