relevant to your interests?  
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!

there's some unfortunate art, but overall, it's an amazing run. :) WELCOME TO THE INSANITY.
