by Tony Thornley
She’s rapidly becoming one of the most popular Marvel characters to get a boost from the MCU. Now Yelena Belova gets an identity all her own in a new limited series as White Widow strikes in November!
Last appearing as the leader of the Winter Guard, Yelena is finally striking out on her own with her own identity. Teaming acclaimed writer Sarah Gailey with artist Alessandro Miracolo and cover artist David Marquez, the series will flesh out one of Marvel’s newest movie stars and enigmatic anti-heroes.
Superspy. Rogue agent. Shadow of the Black Widow. Yelena Belova has been many things, but striking out as a hero in her own right is new to her. Now that she’s finally free to choose her own path, who will she become?
On writing the new series, 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!”
Check out Marquez’s cover to issue #1 and be sure to pick up White Widow when it debuts this November from Marvel Comics.
