1393 ( )

A dull and convoluted mess that gives us a confusing story about Natasha Romanova clones and a nearly immortal Black Widow who starts out as a pregnant Russian soldier during World War II. Typical for the spy genre, at some point the Widow is accused of being a traitor and becomes a fugitive, traversing the world to clear her name, only to discover that the man behind it all is some loser c-level villain that most readers will never have heard of.

I'm not entirely sure what I read and will not waste any energy trying to sort it out, especially since this 10-year-old story has probably been retconned or made superfluous in some manner. I mean, jeez, the Captain America in this book was Bucky Barnes, and we know that didn't last long. ( )

I thought this was an interesting part of the Black Widow's tale. It does a good job on catching you up on her story w/o feeling like crazy review book. I like the mystery aspect of why and who exactly is trying to mess with the Black Widow too. ( )
