Black Widow Comics
Today in my casual webbrowisng I ran into another instance of the “but she’s only ever used as some hero’s girlfriend” complaint, so I thought I’d slap up a list of all the comics Natasha’s headlined, stuff where she’s either the protagonist or she gets title co-billing. Not all of it’s collected, but a lot of it is.

If you’re able, and you’re interested, please look into purchasing them!! (This one is the best place to start.) Marvel, and its inability to support female protagonists long-term, is coming under a bit of deserved fire, but one thing we can do in addition to being angry on the internet is try to support what does come out.
