Black Widow Comic Book Reviews

I started making these on TikTok and then I thought I’d do a version here too. These are obviously my ratings, my opinions and you are entitled to your own opinions. I’ll largely focus on Black Widow titles but there will be the occasional review of another title which she has a big part in.

Itsy Bitsy Spider,

Issues 1 - 3,

1999

Synopsis: The Black Widow has been assigned to Rhapastan by both the Pentagon and Russian intel to investigate a new Bio weapon created by Dr Didier Ines.

However, the new Black Widow - Yelena Belova - has been shadowing her in order to take her place as the premier spy of Russia.

Rating 1: Story - 3/5

- the occasional classic dead-pan Natasha lines, plus some rugged brutality.

Rating 2: Sexist imagery -3/5

( this rating is done with 5 being the least sexist Imagery)

- clearly sexualised art but not as overt in the language

Rating 3: Art - 3/5

- love the out of the box style and the ‘silent’ scenes which are led by images - they feel very Natasha.

Overall Rating: 3/5

SHAZAM SHAZAM SHAZAM pls tell us about billy batson. ive only ever seen the movies o great comic knower

Very very very VERY far from comic expert (that's brawltogethernow) but I have read a lot of Shazam. His history is actually really, really fascinating and involves more than one lawsuit that really defined very early comics. I'll focus on one thing, though.

There are two Captain Marvels: One from the 1940s to around 2013, and one from 2013 til now. The Captain Marvel you're familiar with (who is named Shazam) is from 2013. He's a more realistic, grounded character. He was created to be pretty much the polar opposite of his original version. The best summary is to say that the Wizard chose Billy Batman 1940 because he had the purest heart, and the Wizard chose Billy Batson ~2013 because he was there. My personal 'best' Shazam story is the "Shazam: The Monster Society of Evil" graphic novel by the guy who made Bone. It's good because it's for elementary schoolers yet acknowledges this small child as homeless. Which, don't get me wrong, you shouldn't always do. My personal favorite is the 1970s ones.

As some background: Otto Binder was the creator/main writer of the very early Captain Marvel comics. He was by far and away the best writer of the early Superman Silver Age comics, because all of his comics were batshit insane. Shazam has a complicated and legal history with Superman, so the 1970 run was a super fun high camp tongue in cheek reinvention of the best Silver Age stories.

So the 1970 Captain Marvel comics are insane.

I can't even summarize them without sounding crazy. Basically the conceit is that Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr, and Mary Marvel (Billy, Freddy, and Mary) are having 1940s Golden Age Adventures when they get somehow in suspended animation and are basically time travelled to the 1970s. This don't bother them too much. Why would it bother them. Nothing bothers these people. Nothing. I don't think anybody experiences a negative emotion in these comics. Not bc they were twee. Bc they were insane.

Many of the comics basically had three shorter comics inside it: one Billy story, one Mary story, one Freddy story. Interestingly, they all had different art styles, artists, types of story, genre, etc. Billy's stories had a cartoony art style with very over-the-top and silly plotlines that involved supervillain bad dudes. Freddy's art was slightly more realistic and was slighty more grounded, but still had some classic Marvel indescribable scifi that can best be summarized as that one meme panel people have seen where Sivana recites a science equation that lets him walk through walls. Mary's stories were much more realistically drawn and featured the most banal shit, like her starting a club with her friends. Somehow Mary Marvel gets involved in those.

Sometimes they worked together and did superhero things and fought bad guys. The average fight looked like this:

Billy was a twelve year old who lived by himself, in his own apartment, had his own radio show, a full-ass job, a whole thing as Captain Marvel. He paid fucking taxes. Everybody knew this and nobody cared. He's the most affable, good natured kid on the face of the planet. Nothing bothers him. Nothing. Nothing bothers any of these people. Sivana shows up and he's BIG MAD so he's creating another death ray and Captain Marvel shows up like "Oh you rascal! Time to punch this and go back to helping my friend eat his infinite Jello."

He has a friend named Talky Tawny, who is a talking tiger wearing a suit. He also has a friend named Sunny Smiles, a person of indeterminate gender who everybody falls in love with, for unexplained and unknown reasons. Not to be confused with Freddy's friend Gregory Gosharootie, the "World's Dullest Mortal", who is so boring that nobody notices him and he keeps accidentally comitting crime. There is also an old guy named Uncle Marvel who pretends he has superpowers, which they all find funny so they just roll with it. Freddy is a disabled orphan who has to sell papers on the street corner to make a living. Mary lives in a middle class suburban home with loving foster parents. It never once seems to occur to Mary's parents to adopt Billy, for Freddy to live with Billy. Everybody is happiest this way.

I do think this is partly why a good Shazam comic has to be aimed at the 6-12yo demographics. They have to be for small children, because Billy is living a complete and utter power fantasy that only a ten year old would think is a good idea. He's a kid, and he doesn't have drag parents or a lame family, but he can turn into Superman, and he can also do magic, and everybody loves him and thinks he's the nicest person, and his supervillains are Dr. Doofenschmirtz and a worm, and his supporting cast is like okay my sister if she HAS to be involved, but also my best friend who is a paperboy! but cool because he's disabled, and….

Look, you could engage with that seriously. You could go "holy shit this is a homeless child". That's fine. That's what they do these days, and that's what they did in the movies. Nothing wrong with that. Take the story more seriously.

But also they don't give a worm the electric chair in those stories, so.

To actually give some commentary on these comics: these comics really love people. I've never seen comics that were so entrenched in their community. The kids just know everybody they meet on the street. Freddy delivers paper up and down every block, so an average story for him is just talking to a butcher or baker or old man or grumpy housewife and helping them out with some batshit problem. Mary's a sweet girl who's always starting clubs with her friends and taking on neighborhood projects. Many Billy stories involve one of his many friends falling into some trouble and Captain Marvel helping them out - or just exploring some fun with Billy hanging out with Sunny Smiles, who is a person of indeterminate gender who for some reason has magic love brainwashing powers -

This isn't the biggest #Shazam take, but I think a good Shazam story stays grounded in that. These are poor street kids who love Fawcett City so damn much. They love fighting their supervillains, but they love helping out the random guy off the street with their problems even more. Way more so than Spider-Man or a lot of other guys, I think of the Marvel family as the friendly neighborhood superheroes. They're both larger than life and street level. They're Superman level powers but they just use the powers for wrapping up their hijinks. Isn't that nice? Aren't you tired of going apeshit? Don't you just want to be nice?

Tall Disorder

THE SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK #4

August 1989

By John Byrne, Bob Wiacek, Glynis Oliver, and Jim Novak.

It's issue four, so a Golden Age character has to return to stay young. Also, Jennifer finds her romantic interest, but turns out to be married.

SCORE: 10

Fourth-Wall breaking may be common these days, but for 1989, this was wild!

You know to me, while I remember Byrne doing some comedy stories, I do not normally connect him with this type of comedy. If I had to classify it in a category, I would have to say that it is somewhere between satire (comic code authority) and parody (Lex Luthor).

There is also another plot that apparently went nowhere, a certain Mr. Powers who moved in under Jennifer... but Byrne was fired from the book (in just a few issues from this one), and the plot was never resolved.

I think there were two amazing moments in this book...

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur season 2!!!

Alright so episode 12 of mgadd was the school dance episode and I have some thoughts.

This applies mostly to this specific episode but some of it applies to the whole season so far. I understand and appreciate the overall message being conveyed by the episode. About how you should start dating when you're comfortable and how there's no rush.

However the message gets undermined by the simple fact the Marvin exists to be Lunellas love interest.

I don't dislike Marvin but him being exactly like Lunella is annoying. I don't like it and this happens a lot, when shows introduce a love interest who is exactly like the main character.

Once again nothing against Marvin but it's just annoying. Especially since it is the second season. If you want a character to have a love interest introduce them in season 1.

I get it they're both socially awkward and Don't understand social ques but still they're the same person only difference being one is a boy and the other is a girl. Marvin being an alien with daddy issues was interesting until it gets resolved immediately. Other wise these two have no conflict and no obstacles to overcome they're boring.

Now onto my personal gripe about the episode in question.

They did my boy eduardo dirty.

Why???

Eduardo has been a reoccurring background character since the very first episode. Now I've never shipped him with Lu but it was established early on that he had a crush on her.

If ed was a bully type character then I wouldn't care about him. But that's not his archetype he's a misunderstood class clown.

This is episode 12 of season 2 and this is our first time even hearing him speak. Reminder Marvin was introduced in like episode 4 or something. In the episode Lunellas friends tell her she should go with them as a group to the dance, but when they all end up with dates Lu feels left out and also tries to find a date. And she asks out Eduardo who tells her he's already been asked.

It has a very cute sequence where he images them as sailormoon and tuxedo mask.

In the end Lunella goes alone which is fine. Her outfit is very cute. Then Marvin shows up and we get jealous Eduardo. I also want to say that Mar didn't show up to be her date to the dance he needed help. Anyway Ed is jealous and upset everytime we see him on screen.

Which I really hope isn't what his character is going to be boiled down to especially after they developed him so well in season 1. I don't want him and Lu to end up together I just want this character to have the respect that it had in season 1 instead of making him miserable.

Just look at who he's at the dance with that terrible blonde girl who insulted Lunellas hair in season 1.

I just can't get behind Lunella and Marvin because it feels forced and rushed. It's annoying that they just made a carbon copy of Lu for a love interest. That's kind of lazy.

Otherwise the season has been fun so far.

Final thoughts on a lovely journey

*deep inhale*

Please, come inside and sit with me for a moment while we discuss this final issue.

In all my years as a Stephen stan, I’ve never felt this happy to see HIM happy, cared for, surrounded by such meaningful and deep love. I had many beautiful moments so far *coughcough hellfire gala/savage avengers* but this one means the world to me, mostly because he’s reunited with the love of his life.

Love has always been the fundamental force that drives his very existence. He has never healed from the guilt and sadness for watching Clea leave. He couldn’t forgive himself and fell into self-destructive behavior, which later worsened and culminated in depression in the shape of Mr. Misery.

Stephen hasn’t been happy in a VERY long time by our standards of time. It was never clear that he and Clea were in good terms after Sorcerer Supreme by the end of the 90′s and Defenders v2/The Order, but he did go through A LOT ever since she left to lead the rebel army. After the conclusion of Sorcerer Supreme, he made a few cameos here and there until he was adopted by Bendis in New Avengers v1 and v2. He was loved by his teammates but he also made tons of mistakes due to his actions in the Illuminati. He could never forgive himself after what he did to the Hulk, and abusing dark magic only made him feel even more miserable, turning his back to Wong and Linda and embracing once and for all his self-destructive instincts in order to atone for his sins and mistakes.

Hickman’s New Avengers and Secret Wars were no different. They were a downhill towards his own perdition and posterior tragic death by the hands of one flawed man he loved to a fault.

And then v4 happened, the lowest Stephen has ever faced. Alone, fighting himself to preserve a friendship and struggling with his own flaws: his need to be in control, his insecurity, his white and half lies. He was NOT in a good place.

V5 was an exception because, well, not a good portrayal, let alone when it comes to continuity, although he did severe his relationship with Clea.

And then Jed had all the diligence to fix pretty much 30 years of pain, loneliness and Stephen’s inaptitude to be open about his feelings. In fact, Jed is more than willing to work hard and deep into Clea and Stephen’s marriage, and that’s the most important part of this last issue in my opinion.

Because, you see, it’s not the first time they merged and became one. There was one time when Dormammu and Umar forced them and it was pretty much a nightmare. But aside from that, it has always been consented by bonding their souls (with tons of implied sexual semantics, of course). Still, the point is, they deal with magic. I always mention that the magic community is deeper than any other bond in the Marvel universe, mostly because they tap into the spirit and essence of things. So love here... Sure, it’s demanding and takes lots of work, conversation, understanding, patience. On the other hand, when it comes to magic... It’s hard to explain but it’s pretty much how I personally feel about love. It goes beyond the limitations of the physical instance. It connects you to other person in such overwhelming levels of intimacy and trust. It’s not something that should be taken lightly because it goes DEEP.

And that’s precisely what Clea and Stephen’s relationship is all about. Jed, Ferreira, Poggi, Tartaglia, Petit and Garbett did a wonderful job in portraying the depth of this feeling. And it’s just so amazingly done that even when they merge in the being called Strange, they're not 100% on the same page. And this is literally what a deep and meaningful relationship represents. You’re not one with your S/O. You’re your own person. Your relationship creates a strong bond, but you and your partner(s) will disagree on many issues. You will have to find the balance between your needs and the sacrifices you’ll do along the way. Then again, it’s not just about romance. It’s a never-ending mutual journey of growth.

In short? Stephen and Clea are one, but also different in their own uniqueness. And they’ll have tons of work ahead to find said balance. Which is amazing because you don’t see this kind of approach in comic books very often. It’s mature and it reflects how far they’ve come together.

Strange actually reminds me of Garnet and Rupphire, and all the lessons we learned by watching their journey. Steven says Garnet makes it look so easy, to be in a stable relationship. But only Ruby and Sapphire know the ups and downs of their shared lives. And the struggles can only be overcome through kindness, acceptance, conversation, trust, and so many other details that come along with love.

It’s not supposed to be easy, but it IS rewarding. It IS special. It’s fuel to the soul and dew to the world.

Those were humble words to show my gratitude. It’s not just a reunion, but it’s healthy, mature and deeply meaningful. And it really means the world to me that Stephen is happy. It really does. So thank you. A thousand times thank you.

FIN

Ok i just finished watching The Marvels at home.

I didnt have faith in this movie at all bc

1) im an mcu slanderist (as if i wasnt a marvel slanderist in general)

2) i reaaaaally didnt know what they were going to do with my girl Kamala after what happened in the show

But i was pleasantly surprised!! I went to sort of hate watch it but not really ,yknow curiosity killed the cat and whatnot but then i just?!??? I enjoyed it!!! Quite a lot!!

I started to watch it as a film person first and a Ms Marvel stan second and i was pleased as both but also very pleased as a girl (gn) its just. . . Idk man. Its an INSANE movie i laughed very hard at it at times, the music killed me , I loved the colors, the emotional beats, the chemistry,the characterizations, even the B plot felt fun. It was a nice watch.

I say its a cute movie to watch w the girlies (gn) and just enjoy.

#Shadow talks #SHADOW???TALKING ABOUT MS MARVEL?!???

Look, I'm not saying the whole thing is worthless, but it felt incredibly misguided and like corporate had it's greedy mittens all over it. I wonder how this would've played with a stronger hand at the helm, instead of a new director like Michael Giacchino.

That Cthulhu guy was awesome though, I love him. Best part of the movie by a mile.

Also yeah, hi, Doggie Slate here again. I'm sure you'll see me at least once more before the month is over.

The Avengers

The Avengers is a movie about space 9/11. All of the previous movies felt like set up, now this movie is pay off. Is that pay off any good however? Of course it is, it's the fucking avengers.

The basic plot is "loki has the tesseract and is trying to bend the human race into submission so our favorite heros must stop him" but it executes this rather basic plot very well. It does not just set up this high stakes plot but it makes it personal for the heros. Natasha with barton, barton with mind control, steve with the tesseract, thor with it being his brother, and stark with coulson being killed. Banner doesn't stakes for joining until the very end but it still sets up a plausible reason for him joining. A lot of modern super hero stories seem to think shoving high statistical stakes (The city is in danger, the timestream is collapsing, etc) will make the audience care. The Avengers sets up high personal stakes in the conflict as well.

All of the main characters feel like themselves from the past movies, Steve is still grappling with being in a new world, tony is still a diva, banner is still annoyed with his roommate, thor is slightly more mature than past movies but still fairly childish, but natasha does feel slightly different. Natasha is an actual character with actual motivations and not just a standard seductress assassin. They talk about her violent past and her friendship with barton, AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP IS NEVER TURNED ROMANTIC THANK GOD. Barton gets half a character but is nothing special here. Loki feels slightly weaker but does have strong moments. Most importantly his actions feel like just childish rage and not genuine lusts for power.

The messaging and themes are weird and do feel like an alien war on terror. I think it tries to discuss the themes of the government's mistakes with them having hydra weapons on board, Although it never feels like it is trying to say anything specific here, just a "we're becoming like the nazis", which to americans just means "we're becoming like INSERT ANYTHING BAD HERE". It promptly drops this subplot right after loki escapes.

The action scenes all feel great and real, in the last fight scene it takes the time to show us the terror of the people on the ground. I love the designs of all the characters, they feel more vibrant and distinct. The set design and costuming even outside of suits is great.(steve dresses like an old dude) The dialogue does cut the tension a little bit and it was starting to get a little joke heavy, but its not as bad as later films.

Overall a great superhero team up movie that feels earned, and feels like genuine payoff from the previous films. Not to many deep messages or themes and to many jokes for my tastes but i don't think it wanted to do that. The biggest problem is how many people on this app would freely submit to loki.

Expanding my base from 176*96 to 324*324.

Viewing Kamala Khan as a mutant through a queer lens

I’ve gotta say, after having read Issue #3 of Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant miniseries yesterday, one of the elements that I’ve really grown to love about this book is how well it functions as a metaphorical coming out narrative for Kamala Khan! In addition to the previous issues showcasing Kamala struggling with the newfound pressures that being a mutant comes with, especially during a time when anti-mutant bigotry is at record levels following Orchis’ genocidal attack on Krakoa, during this issue’s dream sequence we’re introduced to the idea that Kamala’s hesitancy to accept her newfound identity as a mutant and inability to access her new powers is all due to a mental roadblock inside of Kamala’s own psyche. However, when the villains try to force Kamala to accept her mutant powers before she is ready by invading her dreams (as part of a Trojan horse to activate a psychic bomb against other mutants), Kamala refuses her “dream-self’s” offer upon realizing that only she alone can decide when she’s ready to define who she is, countering Orchis false anti-mutant narratives and defining her solely by her latent powers by proudly proclaiming, “It’s not about the powers. It never was. It’s about the why we fight. The who we fight for. My powers don’t define me! They aren’t the testament to who I am, in here! I was afraid that being a mutant meant that I was no longer anything else. But that doesn’t erase any other part of me. It just makes me more… me. Who I am — that’s up to me to decide.”

Kamala’s story has always been one about identity, self-acceptance, and intersectionality. This has been evident since her initial run by G. Willow Wilson & Sana Amanat, where Kamala was at a crossroads in regards to figuring out who she was as Pakistani-American Muslim from an immigrant family who had just obtained Inhuman powers, eventually deciding to embrace the best aspects of each part of her respective identities.

Discovering that she now also happens to be a mutant doesn’t erase those previous aspects of who Kamala is, but simply adds to them. Additionally, several X-Men stories in the past have framed the mutant allegory through a queer lens, and there’s a lot you can read into Kamala’s journey of self-acceptance as a mutant in regards to both queer theory and intersectionality. I’ve mentioned before how the recent spike in anti-mutant bigotry amongst the general public following Orchis’ attack on Krakoa Island bears a lot of real-world parallels to the recent upsurge in homophobic and transphobic legislation by Republican politicians here in the US, and Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #3 further expands these parallels. Similar to how Queer people of color are the groups most severely affected by homophobic and transphobic legislation, Vellani effectively demonstrates how Orchis anti-mutant hate campaign significantly impacts Kamala as a woman of color who just found out that she’s also a latent mutant. Orchis’ attempt to try and play on Kamala’s fears of being rejected by her non-mutant superhero friends while framing mutants as inherently arrogant beings with god-complexes, feels eerily similar to how Republicans have recently tried to push false “groomer” conspiracy narratives in order to frame LGBTQ+ people as inherently “predatory towards children,” further isolating an already vulnerable community by falsely defining them solely through the lens of sex. But similar to how sex & sexuality does NOT entirely define a gay or trans person’s identity as an individual, mutant powers do NOT solely define the sum of Kamala’s identity either. It may be an important aspect of who she is as a person, but it is NOT representative of the whole of her identity. Just like how being a Muslim from an immigrant family is an important facet of her personhood, but it is not the sum total of her personality. People are more complex than the narrow-minded stereotypes that bigots like to falsely project onto them, and Kamal effectively demonstrates this by accepting her newfound status as a mutant as merely another facet of personhood. She’s a mutant, as well as an Inhuman, a Muslim, a woman of color, second-generation Pakistani immigrant, nerdy fan-fiction writer, and a compassionate human being who simply wants to help others in need!

From Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #3 by Iman Vellani, Sabir Pirzada, Carlos Gómez & Adam Gorham.

Review: Tony Stark: Iron Man #1-4

something about young Tony Stark that really gets me... he's just a lil guy :-(

The way he overwhelms Andy is too funny, this was a really fun introduction to the character.

the rhodeytonybeth agenda is real!! I love it.

I really appreciate the exploration of rhodey's post-death trauma, but I wish there was more than just him using the Manticore to feel less claustrophobic.

Jocasta's dilemma is really interesting too... her position is 'Chief Robot Ethicist' & her role is to help establish an equal relationship between human and non-human life, while she simultaneously wants to feel accepted by her human peers. It's sad to be honest, esp considering her whole backstory, she doesn't feel like she fits in at all :(

the art fro #3's cover is gorgeous!

Aaron Stack's arguments are interesting for sure, but they're over-shadowed by the quip's a little. They also frame Jocasta's desire to enter the e-Scape interestingly...

(All the little robot-jokes are so good though, I feel like it makes the whole issue really light-hearted)

I love that given the chance to choose any character, Tony chooses to dress up as Stephen hahaha

So does this presumably mean that he created the e-Scape to feel equal to all other users?

Jocasta and Tony seek out the e-Scape (and/or image inducer) for similar reasons: dissonance in their own sense of self.. it's pretty interesting to see the parallels.

Okay wait,, slight whiplash here.. I was really seeing the TonyJocasta vision there for a second, but then here comes Jan!

I would really like an exploration of Tony and Jo's similar problems, wether that be romantic or not.. I just want them to talk it out!

that being said... I adore them as a couple, so no complaints at ALL. Look at them, my little sweetie pies with their romcom parallels <3

Honestly, the robot-ethics aspect is interesting. I think it was purposefully made to feel really obstructive and a little irritating to emphasize it's need?

The ending was pretty cutesy. The whole story was interesting. Each issue holds up quite nicely as one-shots even, and the resolution is satisfying and creative.

It definitely makes you want to keep reading the series though, if not to explore the deeper plot of Sunset's scheming, but for more TonyJan in the amazing art-style of Valerio Schiti <3

I really enjoyed the exploration of the personal turmoils of the supporting characters and I hope they continue to explore it (i.e. Rhodey's PTSD and Jo's insecurities). Looking forward to the rest of this series!
