8The Black Widow sets out on her own in a series of solo adventures that defined her as one of Marvel's greatest heroes! Writer Ralph Macchio begins with a tense secret-agent tale stunningly illustrated by Paul Gulacy. Then, with artist George Pérez, he spins one of the most beloved Black Widow stories of all time for MARVEL FANFARE. Next, a series of graphic novels explores the darkest corners of the Marvel Universe. A revelation regarding the Red Guardian draws Black Widow back into the web of Russian spymasters; she teams with the Punisher to take down a rogue former government agent; she reunites with Daredevil to investigate the murder of S.H.I.E.L.D. ESPer agents; and she returns to post-Soviet Russia with Nick Fury.
