Monthly Comics Discussion Post: April (ish)
Oh dear. It's been a little while, hasn't it? It's entirely my fault, real life and planning Remix was a big distraction and for that, I am sorry.
This month saw the plot of Black Widow really get going, introducing new villains and increasing the role of Maria Hill. Solicits for the upcoming arc beginning in June seem to indicate that more figures from Natasha's history are due to appear. Edmondson was asked about Clint, and his answer was along the lines of "I won't say anything until August solicits, but you'll see some more familiar faces." August solicits are due out late in May. I'd say there's a good chance Clint will be making an appearance in Natasha's book!
Unfortunately, Hawkeye is still plagued by delays.
Elsewhere in Comic Book Land, April saw the release of Elektra #1. Even if you know next to nothing about Elektra (like me), it's worth giving a look for the art alone. Black Widow and Elektra have the best art in all of Marvel right now, in my humble opinion.
