ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In Marvel Fanfare 12, the web tightens around the Black Widow!

Natasha has six assassins trying to kill her, including Iron Maiden, and she’s going to have to fight her way through all of them! With a little help from S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jimmy Woo, the Widow turns the tables on her attackers, but another assassin is waiting in the wings.

The Black Widow story is brought to us by Ralph Macchio and George Pérez, with Pérez on pencils and Al Milgrom on inks.

Then it’s Assistant Editors’ Month! Ann Nocenti and Roger Stern take over Marvel Fanfare and somehow Captain America gets dragged into the insanity. “Marvel Annfare” is written by Stern from an idea by Nocenti, with art by Al Milgrom.

And finally, this issue features a portfolio from Rick Leonardi!
