Black Widow: Deadly Origin

This is where Natalia went from being a baby in her mother’s arms to who she is becoming. A lot of time jumping in this graphic novel. I really enjoyed it because I’ve seen her in the Marvel movies and the artist, drew her to look like Scarlet Johansen. I’m not familiar with her background nor have I seen the latest Marvel movie: Black Widow starring the said actress.

She is given to a man named Ivan who promises her mother to look after Natalia and then her mother gets crushed. She grew up with Ivan until he’s taken by Taras. She’s trained to be a deadly assassin. What I loved was how it really gave me the back story and how her evolution to be a good person. She has many lovers as she was given a serum to not age. Her mentor, who she will meet up with again, was critically injured and so she gave him some of her blood which gave him the special “never age” serum. Let's just say, as time moves on, sometimes the age difference no longer matters when it comes to the affairs of the heart. There's a fine line between love and hate.

This graphic novel is very fast pasted and has me hooked. I need to get the next copy. I’m addicted.
