Today, hundreds of cosplayers and internet supporters around the globe are taking a stand about the inequality of female superheroines in the media, and on the shelves. Especially our favorite Avenger, Black Widow. We want to see Black Widow given the same attention as her male counterparts. She deserves it. We deserve it. We want our message heard loud and clear. #WeWantWidow. There is also a multi-city Black Widow flash mob movement, run by http://riellygeek.com/WIDOW
Black Widow baby ❤ As XO of the #WeWantWidow group I had to dress the part! It’s a casual mix of her film and comic looks. All versions of Natasha are awesome. Share your cosplays and artwork! I hope to see loads of different Widows in the tag. Tell Marvel and Disney what we want to see on the shelves and in theaters! We Want Widow! http://riellygeek.com/WIDOW
Artist Daniel Kamarudin
imagines a Marvel universe where the technology has been stripped out,
replaced with high fantasy elements of sword and sorcery. Instead of
being genius billionaire playboy, Tony Stark becomes a powerful
sorcerer. Ultron is transformed into undead threat. Black Widow trades
in her catsuit for assassin leathers, and Hulk engraves berserker runes
on his body. The rest of the gang get eerily accurate makeovers as well.
So with Winter Soldier out now, I know you’re all dying to read more about Bucky and Natasha, whether as a couple or individually! So, since I haven’t seen one of these with download links yet, I’ve put together a reading order + downloads.
This is a combination of solo stories and team-ups with each other. It isn’t every appearance of theirs together, but they’re the ones that I consider important. (If you have any suggestions, however, I’m totally up for editing.)
I tried to break it up by ROUGH chronology, both by keeping important events together because I really don’t like hopping from series to series, but also breaking them up after significant chunks to avoid getting worn out on one arc (hence the Deadly Origin between Cap v4 and Reborn).
(Note: Bucky joins the New Avengers around Secret Invasion. I wouldn’t consider it necessary reading, because it’s a team book and not individual, but I have his issues here. Issue 47 of NA comes out concurrently with issue 44 of Cap v5 I believe)
Bucky is currently in two ongoings (All-New Invaders and another run of Winter Soldier that I actually think might be a limited series) and Natasha is in one (Black Widow), which you should check out. I don’t have downloads for those, but they’re not very far, so you can probably grab them at the comic shop or on comixology.
As always, if you like the comics, buy them!
YOU ARE A GIFT OH MY GOD
