    I really wish Devin Grayson would make a return to the character.
    There are four stages of matter. Solid. Liquid. Gas & Don't. It's science.
    I am a male. Deal with it.

    Black Widow: The Name of the Rose really is just a fantastic read.

    Agreed. I came for that Acuna art, specifically the Widow/Elektra face-off, and stayed for Liu's wonderful portrayal or Natasha. It's a shame she moved on to other things.
    Why aren't you reading Winter Soldier? You should be!

    Liu had planned to bring Natasha into the X-23 title as a long-term mentor and role model for Laura. I'm very disappointed that never got to happen.

    Agreed, that was a great idea! Oh well. Maybe in time Liu will get a chance to tell that story.

    Heh. I picked up the 'The Things They Say about her' trade two weeks ago. I really wish there had been some kind of indication on that book that this was the second part of something.
    'The marquis. Well, you know, to be honest, he seems a little bit dodgy to me.'
    'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."

    Did her run on that title sell well enough for Marvel to maybe considering giving Liu and Acuna (if available) another run on Black Widow these days?

    It might work well if they could get something out closer to a DVD release of the current movie or for the premier of a second Avengers movie.

    It didn't get cancelled until the second creative team took over. Acuņa and Liu are both bigger names now than when they were on Black Widow, too. So, maybe. Liu has said she would like to return to the book and that she regrets having to leave it.

    Liu and Rucka writing BW would be awesome!
