Marvel Announces ‘Black Widow & Hawkeye’ Limited Series
Coming off the heels of her bonding with a symbiote, Black Widow will be teaming up with Hawkeye for the four-issue limited series BLACK WIDOW & HAWKEYE from Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli kicking off next March per an announcement from Marvel. Check out a cover from the first issue by Stephen Segovia below!
"I love getting the chance to dig deep with Natasha Romanov and Clint Barton to tell a fast-paced spy story that celebrates their 60th anniversary,” Phillips shared. “Nothing is as it seems, and I'm having a ton of fun writing these characters. Not to mention they both look great for 60."
Marvel shared more on what to expect from the series:
THE EYES OF A HAWK AND THE VENOM OF A WIDOW! Even when Black Widow and Hawkeye had no one to trust, they still had each other—even though their paths sometimes diverged. So when Clint Barton is accused of a rogue assassination attempt that puts the U.S. and Madripoor at odds, a symbiote-equipped Natasha Romanoff thinks nothing of coming to his aid. But as echoes of their past ripple into the present, it will take all their faith in each other—and the lessons learned along the way—to protect their futures.
