Bunn Takes on 'Fear Itself: Black Widow' One-Shot


The Sixth Gun writer Cullen Bunn is getting his own corner of the Fear Itself event this summer with the one-shot Fear Itself: Black Widow #1.

Bunn said the following on his website: “This story showcases Natasha Romanoff going up against power-mad terrorists in the heart of Paris. Obviously, I’m very excited about this project, and it gives me a chance to flex some new writing muscles. Marvel’s sexiest and most deadly spy in the most iconic city in France? Evil terrorists? Impending nuclear disaster? What’s not to love?

Official Press Release

This June, Natasha Romanoff is facing down a double threat of dire consequence in Fear Itself: Black Widow #1 – an extra-sized one-shot by acclaimed writer Cullen Bunn (The Sixth Gun) and artist Peter Nguyen. Tying directly into the spiraling madness of Fear Itself, The God of Fear has claimed Paris and a terrorist strike force plans to seize the moment by unleashing a crippling attack! But can the Black Widow really take out the terrorists and the legions of fear in time to save the City of Light?

“Even though she is one of the best spies in the world, she has no super powers, and she's facing a threat that’s even giving heavy hitters a real run for their money,” said Bunn. “The events of Fear Itself--the worldwide panic and confusion--only serve to isolate her even more. She's on her own for this one, so she really gets to show off.”

The stealthiest Secret Avenger holds the fate of an entire continent in her hands this June, only in Fear Itself: Black Widow #1!
