hi sorry this is kinda random, but i've been meaning to get into reading comics specifically ones w natasha centric stuff, and if i remember correctly you've read some, so i was wondering if u have any rec on where to start (its kinda overwhelming afhsdf theres so many and i dont really have any base knowledge so dont know where to start without being completely lost) also if there are any sites or something to pirate stuff im like. broke lmao ahh tysm have a good day <3

YESSS!! Thank you sm for asking Anon! I started off with the BW 2015 (Phil Noto Run) Comics and I’d say they’re a pretty great starting off point! It’s a solo run that’s pretty much solely Natasha focused, there’s other characters but you should be able to follow along regardless (save for maybe like one of the last issues). The storyline is based on her need to redeem herself from her past actions in the Red Room and slowly learn to open up again, starting with a beloved lil cat Liho <3 Plus the art is gorgeous and I think this run was truly the one to make me fall in love with comics.

I genuinely really enjoyed the BW 2020 (Thompson run) comics as well! Ik a lot of people had negative things to say about it but I think it works very well with a different kind of Natasha, one that’s more open and similar to the MCU Natasha I’d say. And a great bonus for MCU fans who enjoyed Yelena and Nat’s dynamic in the BW movie cause Yelena is back! And they’ve got a very sisterly bond in this run.

Third, I’d say the BW 2016 (Waid & Samnee run) is a real interesting one! You really get a good look into Natasha’s character and the storyline is thrilling and honestly spectacular. It’s been a while since I’ve read this one so I don’t wanna say too much in case I say the wrong thing XD, definitely worth a read too!

aaand here is the link I use to read comics with: https://readcomiconline.li/. Heads up tho, you’re gonna want an ad blocker 💀💀 or a lot of patience. There’s basically a redirect every time you press anything.
