Black Widow Modern Era Epic Collection #1

Plot

The deadly Yelena Belova lays claim to the title of Black Widow in a foundational tale set in the start of the modern era of comics!

Natasha Romanoff has always led a life of adventure. A former Soviet spy, she defected to the West and became a super hero and an Avenger. Natasha has earned a reputation as a consummate professional, coldly efficient and as deadly as her namesake. But now, her time as Black Widow may be running out! Yelena Belova is the first student in the history of the Red Room to exceed Natasha's skills -—and now she's gunning for the mantle she feels was stolen from her. Plus: A string of international killings leads Natasha back to a Russia she can barely recognize. Whoever said you can't go home again never reckoned with the Black Widow! And when Yelena’s former mentor is murdered, she must go deep undercover to catch the killer!
