Anonymous asked: This isn't a baiting question; but these for some reason people assume that Natasha, and Clint, both sleep around. That's easily disproven, but I was wondering if whether or not YOU believe they have ever been ~intimate~ with one another. If they have, whatever; it's not really our business, is it? I wonder though, because if you look back at the period where they WERE involved it...

mushroom2703: Now that Winter Soldier is about gone, can we look forward to any new espionage titles to keep that corner of the MU fleshed out alongside Secret Avengers?
Alonso: Count on it, mushroom2703!
FYBW, forever the optimist: Thinks this might be the rumored Black Widow title.

“But Natasha is the only one who mines her own vulnerability. She’s the only one...”
– this super great essay about black widow and feminism (via helio-phile)
(It’s really funny to me when excerpts from things I write get more notes than actual things I write. I’m real bad at the micro part of microblogging.)

sugarfey asked: Hi, what do you think the chances are of Black Widow getting another solo comic? I know a lot of people who would buy it! I thought Marvel dropped hints a while back but we haven't heard anything since and I'm getting worried.

Anonymous asked: What do you think of how Marvel keeps referring to Natasha as Hawkeye's 'Work Wife' in both Hawkeye and Avengers Assemble? I know Fraction and Deconnick are fan favorites, but it seems rather forced; despite their history.

You know as much as we all rightly complain and criticize the way women are depicted in comics, I really don’t like it when people brush the whole superhero comics medium off as wholly sexist claptrap
Because as annoyed I get when Wonder Woman et al are drawn like porn girls with jelly spines, you better believe I feel empowered when they let loose and kick ass for truth and justice

codenamezinc asked: Hi! So, I recently read Black Widow: Name of the Rose and I LOVED it. Throughout the comic, I noticed that Natasha and Wolverine are friends. I really enjoyed the dynamic of the two characters, brief as their interactions were and I'd like to read some more comics with them. I was wondering if you have any suggestions. Thanks so much!

Who is the rule 63 Black Widow?
Today is International Women’s Day, aka Working Women’s Day, a holiday with socialist roots that was officially adopted in the Soviet Union following the October Revolution. So, internet. Let’s talk gender.
Once upon a time ComicsAlliance commissioned a mock-up of the Avengers movie poster line-up. All the dudevengers were replaced with a female counterpart— She-Hulk, Thor...

theodinspire replied to your quote: Contrast that with an American comic books store…
What’s the context for this quote?
I linked the source! (I forgot to at first because the source-linking interface has changed, whoops.) But to sum up: it’s from a Reddit Ask Me Anything thread. The question posed was, paraphrasing, “why do you think it’s so difficult for Marvel to...
