In all seriousness, this cover by Phil Noto is incredibly gorgeous. And it’s not just a one-image gimmick, either: according to the creative team behind Black Widow, Anderson Cooper will play an integral role to the plot as he “exposes the tangled web of the Widowās past discretions.” Uhhhh, yes please?
āItās Anderson doing what he does best: looking for the truth and reporting on events,ā writer Nathan Edmondson told Marvel.com. āWe imagine that in Black Widowās world, as would be the case with many other Avengers, things she does canāt be ignored by the media and all it takes is somebody who knows how to ask the right questions to make her world very uncomfortable for her but in a way that is perhaps not unjust.ā
Even better? Apparently CooperĀ isĀ a comic book fan himself and “was thrilled with the ideaā to be directly involved with Edmondson’s book. I knew I liked that guy for a reason. You know, other than his dashing looks and measured, authoritative presence.
Black Widow #12 is scheduled for a November 2014 release, and the ongoing title is consistently one of Marvel’s best. If you haven’t checked out any of the previous issues, this might be a good place to start.
