Nathan Edmondson launched two All-New Marvel Now series starring two of the deadliest characters in comics. This August the missions of Natasha Romanoff and Frank Castle collide in a two-part crossover. The story happens in Black Widow #9 and Punisher #9.
“Frank and Natasha are a really interesting pair to combine together: on the one hand, they seem to exist in the same kind of heroic/antiheroic space in the Marvel Universe, but at some point the similarities stop and the disparity begins, and the tug and pull between those two ends will be at play here,” Edmondson told Marvel.com.
“Both characters are so devoted to their “mission,” so hell-bent on their internal narrative that it will not be easy for them to identify what they have in common with one another.”
“Natasha is more of a team player than Frank, but Frank has arguably come to better terms with his past than has Natasha, so that’s where the interplay with them gets interesting. And yes, we’ll see a bit of a distinction between their tactics, for certain. Which makes working on both titles possible, really; I don’t think I could handle both characters if they were more similar.”
Crossbones and the Skull Squad are the villains of the crossover following the previous story arc in Punisher.
Friend From Foe begins this August.
