I come bearing news of a Marvel online sale: The Women of Marvel. My email says that issues are $0.99 (USD) until 11 p.m. EST tonight (11/15) in North America and at "local evening times in other regions."

Most pertinently, The Name of the Rose, Marjorie Liu & Daniel Acuna's excellent Black Widow title is included in this sale. (If you're looking at the sale page, those are going to be the Black Widow #1-5 issues. Yay for confusing comics titles?)

One caveat: Natasha is not with Clint in this arc, though they are friends/partners/fighting companions. The relationship isn't a big part of the story, though. Natasha and her past and who she is and why she does what she does is the focus, and she is amazing throughout. Oh, a second caveat: this is going to spoil the hell out of a major plot point in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If you know/aren't sure what I'm babbling about, feel free to PM or email me and I'll see if I can confirm or deny w/o spoiling you further.

(If you have a comixology account, they're also running the sale (see here.)

Happy Friday!

Ooh, they've got Spider-Woman comics and one of my favorite runs of it. Thanks for the head's up!

Nice. I already bought The Name of the Rose a while ago, because it was recommended to me by someone in this awesome bar and it's one of the best comics I've ever read. So if you like Nat not only in combination with Clint than you should definitely think about buying this one.

thank you for this!

Also made me get off my duff and actually register the copies of Secret Avengers I have...

Which reminds me, I've got an Avengers Assembled (based on the new cartoon) that wasn't in my long box (is confused...)

I bought the Name of the Rose arc, hopefully I'll get a chance to read it soon, lol

I've never been a comics reader, but I'm in love with the character of Black Widow and this seems like a good place to start. Thanks!
