Synopsis

Marvel's Black Widow Prelude #2 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 3 stars

General Thunderbolt Ross continues to brief Councilwoman Hawley on the history of Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow. She was involved with Tony Stark’s confrontation with Whiplash and chose to track down Bruce Banner for help in investigating the tesseract, persuading him to come in when no one else could. She later encountered the Hulk and fought him with the help of Thor though they all stood together when the aliens invaded New York City. Natasha soon became one of the only people who could pacify Hulk though she hasn’t seen him since Sokovia. She helped Captain America defeat the pirates who had hijacked the Lemurian Star, though she snagged some secret data on the way. She also aided Cap in fighting Ultron, was present for the disaster in Lagos that led to the Civil War, and now she’s off the grid. Ross asks Hawley for authorization to use the resources of the UN Security Council to hunt down Natasha Romanoff. She grudgingly gives it but refuses to shake his hand. Ross calls Tony Stark about a lead on Natasha but Tony puts him on hold. So, Ross orders his forces to go after the Black Widow….

Marvel's Black Widow Prelude #2 Review by (August 25, 2020)

Review: Second issue of a two-issue series designed to get movie fans up to speed on who the Black Widow is in advance of her solo film set for release in November 2020, postponed by the coronavirus. This issue is a bit harder to take than the last one as many of the recapped adventures from the films don’t really make a lot of sense without having seen the films—but then that’s not really necessary, one can get a good idea of what she can do despite not always being able to tell why.

Comments: Part two of two parts. Follows the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) continuity rather than the regular 616 Marvel chronology. Technically, Black Widow isn’t in this comic as she appears only in flashback (unlike issue #1). Appearing in flashbacks: Bruce Banner, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch.
