The X-Axis by Paul O'Brien

Black Widow: Pale Little Spider #2
Another strong issue here, with Igor Kordey on form and Greg Rucka giving a story that plays neatly off all the themes associated with Yelena. Which means the usurpation of identity theme at the route of Yelena's questionable claim on the "Black Widow" name, as well as the overtones of sexual violence implicit in the name itself. Great stuff, and easily the best thing the Max imprint has done yet.Rating: A+
