Winter Soldier #9

NAAAAATTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

All the feelings.

This issue was so epic.... Natasha being a lethal ballarina.... and it turns out she was playing James..... and went on a killing spree on the SHIELD headquarters.... and this is like, her worst nightmare.... but as storytelling goes it's also fucking glorious.

And how much do I love that Natasha has been holding back when she and James spar? And that when James thinks she's woken up, he goes, "I just saved you for a change."

I just cannot believe I get five minutes of comic and then have to wait a MONTH after that cliff-hanger. Jesus.

I'm actually working on that arc - right now it's slow going because it's mainly Captain America, and I'm finding that Captain America in the comics? Kind of a dick.

I also want to read The Name of The Rose Black Widow arc and the X-men series you were talking about.... but I don't know where to get ahold of them.... *looks innocent*

yeah he's supposed to be off the rails at that point because it's not long after disassembled and clint just ~died~, so steve kind of acts like a dick because he's angry at everything.

Yeah, I'm certainly not writing him off, or anything, it's just a bit hard to be super-into his narrative when acting like a dick.

hmmm. which x-men series? x-factor or uncanny x-force?

The ladies + poc run by Majorie Lui?
