All-New, All-Different Marvel charges forward with the most popular characters in the world brought to life by red-hot creators! Today, Marvel is pleased to announceBLACK WIDOW #1, the new ongoing series from the Eisner Award winning creative team behind Daredevil! Writer Mark Waid, artist Chris Samnee, colorist Matt Wilson and letterer Joe Caramagna re-unite for a new take on the Marvel Universe’s greatest super spy!

Natasha has spent years gathering secrets. Knowledge and intel on friends and enemies alike. But when some of those dark secrets begin mysteriously going public, no one is safe. Now, Natasha has become the one thing she never thought she’d be – S.H.I.E.L.D.’S MOST WANTED! Betrayed by her former accomplices, with friend and foe alike nipping at her heels, all bets are off. With a lifetime of training and ingenuity at her disposal, she’s out for answers, and she’s going to get them any way she can.

“I think Mark and I are crafting a really fun, exciting spy story, unlike anything that’s ever been in comics,” says series artist & co-writer Chris Samnee, in an interview with Marvel.com. “And honestly, I think the entire team is giving their absolute all here. I’m pushing myself harder than ever to make these pages my best yet and I think [colorist] Matt Wilson is doing the best work of his career here. I can’t wait for folks to get a look at this stuff.”

It’s a knock-down, drag-out tale of action, adventure and espionage! All eyes are on the Black Widow. With enemies closing in at every side, it’s time to show everyone why she is and always will be the world’s greatest spy. The chase is on when BLACK WIDOW #1 explodes on to the scene early next year!

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
