Welcome to “Black Widow Team-Up.” Each issue of this miniseries is self-contained and pairs Black Widow with a “Marvel girl.”
Issue #1: Enchantress helps Widow escape the “Red Room” where she was taken and trained as a girl. Then, Wasp and Widow fight Doctor Doom–with The Avengers making a cameo.
It reads like an all-ages book (especially since it calls these women “girls”), but at the same time it has the strange team-up selection of sexpot Enchantress and isn’t drawn with the softer (and less buxom) style of most all-ages books. So, I’m not sure what this book is intended to do. Carol Danvers is her third companion, followed by Storm and guest star Mole Man taking on a mob of renegade Moloids.
Again, I can’t say what this book is meant to do. I can tell you what it ACTUALLY does, though: It bores me.
The bound volume reprints an old issue of Marvel Team-Up featuring Spider-Man and Black Widow. Its inclusion only accentuates how well Marvel did all-ages books, without even trying to, back in the ’70s. God, I miss those kinds of comics.
