Black Widow has a new enemy.
He’s exposing Natasha’s past and questions if she should be an Avenger!
CNN’s Anderson Cooper makes his Marvel Universe debut in Black Widow #12 this week.
In the Avenger’s solo series, Natasha takes on secret missions she does not want the team to know about as a way of making up for her violent past as a KGB operative and assassin.
But the past does not stay hidden thanks to the acclaimed television journalist.
“Anderson and his show and his journalism will be the catalyst for a major event in Black Widow’s journey right now,” writer Nathan Edmondson told Marvel.com. “And as a result of the way in which he exposes her and some of her actions, we’re going to see some pretty significant things change in her world. We will more importantly see a fundamental change within her as she has to face a world that is now increasingly aware of her.”
“It’s Anderson doing what he does best: looking for the truth and reporting on events. We imagine that in Black Widow’s world, as would be the case with many other Avengers, things she does can’t be ignored by the media and all it takes is somebody who knows how to ask the right questions to make her world very uncomfortable for her but in a way that is perhaps not unjust.”
As Cooper investigates the Avenger – she’s on a new covert mission in Afghanistan. How will her fellow Avengers react to her secret life?
Black Widow #12 by Edmondson and artist Phil Noto arrives Wednesday.
