I have been a fan of The Black Widow ever since she shared top billing with Daredevil in his title. It is cool to see her finally getting some mainstream recognition after all of these decades, due to her appearances in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers. I wasn't sure about the choice to include the character or the casting at first, but I have to admit that The Black Widow really held her own alongside the rest of the team.
I imagine if these two athletic redheads operated on the same Earth, they would combine their resources in a Birds of Prey-type team.
...this is one of those neat yet bittersweet covers where you silently cry "If Only This Was Real!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteMy favourite version of Batgirl plus two villains I haven't seen for over thirty years! If only Madame MacEvil had made it to the cover!
ReplyDeleteNice cover, as ever.
ReplyDeleteHow about a "Doc Savage vs. Bane" cover ?
I"m sorry, but I can't help asking. What was Ramrod doing between Terrex's legs in the first place?
ReplyDeleteHe's sneaky like that.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I never imagined BG & BW teaming up, but for some reason, they seem like a natural. By the time of the Romita Black Widow on your cover, her personality had changed from the From Russia With Love-esque attitude seen in Tales of Suspense, so she can fit with classic Batgirl well enough. If only we were lucky enough to see a sequel cover.....hint, hint!
