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 Widowā€™s past discretions.” Uhhhh, yes please?

ā€œItā€™s Anderson doing what he does best: looking for the truth and reporting on events,ā€ writer Nathan Edmondson told Marvel.com. ā€œWe imagine that in Black Widowā€™s world, as would be the case with many other Avengers, things she does canā€™t 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.
