SOLDIERS. ASSASSINS. LOVERS. THE WIDOW AND THE WINTER REUNITE!
Natasha Romanoff and Bucky Barnes have a history as long as war, companions since the Widow's earliest days in the Red Room when both were trapped in service to the wrong side. It's one of the greatest - and most tragic - love stories of the Marvel Universe. Now the world will try to get between them once again. And with the Widow missing memories, she may find herself losing the only person who would have forgiven her for what she has to do next.

Oct 12, 2019Another excellent installment to go with the strong first issue as the mystery around Black Widows faceless opponent deepens. This creative team is delivering exactly the kind of story that I enjoy: Sexy action-packed entertainment executed with style! Read Full Review

Impulse Gamer - Chris O'Connor
Oct 19, 2019There's quite a lot of mystery here… which is arguably just what you want from a comic about someone known for their espionage work. There's a lot for Natasha to work out and in some ways this issue presents more questions than it may have answered… but if you are in for the long haul… these are just cogs in the machine… filling their little story based roll in the big scheme of things. Grab a copy if you grabbed issue one and enjoyed it. If you haven't read any of this story arc yet… maybe wait for the next one to see if it's to your taste… it can be a bit confusing and a bit of context either side might help. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 13, 2019Web of Black Widow #2 was a strong follow-up on what the first issue of this series established. Jody Houser's writing for Natasha Romanoff and Bucky Barnes is the star of this comic book. The rich history between the two is clear with the approach Houser takes to writing when these two are on screen together. Natasha and Bucky's chemistry helps drive up the interest in the greater story involving the past events involving the Red Room coming back to haunt Black Widow. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Oct 09, 2019The larger picture of what Huser is trying to convey wont be apparent until the end of the series, but what shes delivering here seems interesting enough for now. The big revelations awaiting in the next several issues may well prove that the first couple of chapters have been worth the wait, but for now, its all a bit of a slide of uncertainty through twenty pages or more.

Comics: The Gathering - Ryan.L
Oct 09, 2019Overall this is a Black Widow story by the numbers. It’s a good read, quick but with no substance. If you like the character you might find something to enjoy here. Just don’t expect any ground breaking storytelling. Read Full Review

This was weaker than issue one.

It's stylish, but the nagging suspicion remains that there's no substance beneath the flash.

Between the first issue and this there has barely been any plot movement at all. The art is great, the action this time around being far more readable. But the story is leaving me pretty cold so far.
