Thanks to her role in Kelly Thompson and Elena Casgrande’s Black Widow series and her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Yelena Belova is experiencing a resurgence in popularity! In her new series, witness the newest stage of this exciting evolution of the character as Yelena is finally free to choose her own path. Superspy. Rogue agent. Shadow of the Black Widow. What will Yelena’s next role in the Marvel Universe be?
To celebrate her new era, WHITE WIDOW #1 will feature a stunning variant cover by superstar artist Stanley “Artgerm” Lau. Also available as a virgin variant cover, this stunning piece depicts Yelena escaping her tangled history and reloading for her action-packed new adventures!
On writing the new series, Sarah Gailey told The Mary Sue, “I am beyond exhilarated to launch White Widow into her own series! Yelena Belova is an incredible character who deserves independence, community, and the opportunity to kill on her own terms. Getting the chance to work with this team at Marvel is a thrill. I can’t wait for the world to see what Alessandro and I have in store!”
