I kept hoping this title would get better, but it just never moved out of that mediocre spot (for me).
I never felt any real connection to Natasha, and (worse) I never felt like Natasha had any real connections to anything. She just did what she did, because...she did it? I don't know.
And besides that, this title was just depressing.
I'm assuming that this was the last volume of this particular incarnation of the Black Widow, and next There is only Secret Wars...
Whatever.
I'm not sorry to see this sucker go, because I sort of hated seeing Natasha doing her I'm a sociopath pretending to be mopey shtick.
I will miss the beautiful artwork, though. Seriously, I don't think I would have continued to slog through this gloomy title if it hadn't been for all the pretty pictures.
But even with that fantastic art, this managed to stir only minimal amounts of FEELINGS! in my chest.
Although I have to say, I loved seeing Natasha as Baby Widow.
You wanna know what else I liked about this volume?
I'm going to tell you, regardless of how you answer that, FYI.
I liked that Black Widow was a badass. She didn't give up, didn't have a pity party, didn't take the easy route, and didn't make excuses for herself.
On the flip side?
Do you remember how much you loved your best friend from childhood?
And your BFF's cat?
Well, I guess we all make a few bad choices when we're young, right?
Um...*cough*
Good to see you're trying to be a better person, Nat.

The third and final volume of Edmundson and Noto's run on Black Widow comes to an end here and, like the rest of the run, it varies a lot in quality from issue-to-issue.
Not the artwork! Phil Noto's artwork was consistently fantastic throughout. I even liked the change of style he employed on the last two issues, switching from fully painted to a more traditional (for comicbooks) ink rendering. No, Noto's artwork was always drool-worthy...
The stories, on the other hand... Now, I'll start by saying that this was by far the best of the three books Nathan Edmundson has been writing for Marvel recently (the other two being Deathlok and The Punisher) but the storytelling was still a bit patchy. Some issues, usually the more understated, less action-packed issues, I really liked. I thought Edmundson did well providing a look behind the mask that the Black Widow shows to the rest of the world. I also quite liked the overall concept of Romanova trying to atone for her past actions as a KGB agent and a student of the notorious Red Room school for assassins. Some of the more science fictiony elements I wasn't so keen on. I thought involving Nat in superhuman activity here didn't fit very well with the tone of the book. Don't get me wrong; I have no problem with the Black Widow dealing with this kind of stuff when she's running with the Avengers, or even in a solo title if the overall concept didn't lean so much towards her non-superheroic, espionage-based side.
Overall, I'd give the writing three stars and the artwork five, so I'm going to average it out to a four.

3.5*
I will always be utterly in love with the art work in this series. It's simply gorgeous. I'm sad to see this come to an end but I'm still not sure on how I feel about it. I enjoyed it for its art style and story kept my attention, I always wanted to know what was going on but I felt as though the story was a bit all over the place and I'm still not 100% sure I know exactly what *was* going on! I don't know whether I found it confusing as this is the first Marvel series I've read but I just did find it all a bit confusing. I kept thinking I was on top of it and then something would happen that would throw my understanding out of the window... Natasha is still a mystery but we learnt a lot more about her backstory in this volume which I really enjoyed. I LOVED the flashback scenes to her childhood! I think this is possibly my least favourite of the three volumes but it was still an enjoyable read! (even if I wasn't certain what was going on all of the time...)

A cold war thriller set in modern times. I love the noirish vibe. Phil Noto's art is perfect for this book.

I thought the series was taking an upswing when The Tightly Tangled Web (Vol. 2) was enhanced by the many guest appearances. Last Days (Vol. 3), though, takes a step back to the sort of brusque but sometimes dull manner of the series' first volume. However, it's not altogether bad and there are a few things that make it worth reading -- Winter Soldier's nick-of-time quasi-deus ex machina arrival; flashbacks to 'Natty's' childhood days on the cold, harsh streets of mother Russia; and the final two chapters, January, detailing an early spy mission that literally ends with a bang.

It's strange, because this is kind of a big book, but this volume felt a little rushed. Like Edmondson had the story planned out to take a certain number of issues, then found out the book was getting canceled? I'm not sure if it's ending because of Secret Wars or what, but the resolution just felt hurried. Especially because Natasha leaves the Avengers for what felt like five minutes. Some of that pacing was off, I think, because Edmondson really wanted to do this two part story at the end, set back in Natasha's early days as a Russian spy. It's a pretty good story, don't get me wrong, and it definitely shows how far she's come. Which makes for a good bookend, with her internal narration wondering how much she's really changed much earlier in the book. But I think I would have rather had those two issues applied to giving the bigger story the conclusion it deserved. Of course, Noto's art is still incredibly nice to look at, so no complaints there.
May 14, 2016
Far better than previous Edmonson/Noto volumes.
The ending was rushed because of the Secret Wars upcoming cancel and reboot of all Marvel series, but the cuban story and the little black widow one were really great.
Highly recommending this volume just for these parts and for Noto's art.
But of that and a few good issues more, the whole series was just a big "meh" for me :/

I again enjoyed this third and final volume in this Black Widow series.
(A review for the entire series and more can be found on my blog!)
The art was very consistent throughout the entire series, something I'm a fan of and the artwork itself grew on me more and more.
The story was very fast paced with lots of action in this volume which made for another quick read. But like in the previous volumes I felt like sometimes I didn't quite grasp what was going on. Especially the final two chapters were a bit confusing.
I again loved the cameos of other characters, although Bucky and Nat kinda broke my heart. Yes, I officially ship them now. Another thing I loved were the flashbacks to her childhood. Sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.
All in all an enjoyable series that gives new readers some insight to Nat's character and offers some great spy thriller content and a kickass heroine - or anti-heroine, you decide. Even though sometimes a bit confusing, I'd recommend this series!

Third and final volume of the 20-issue Black Widow run written by Nathan Edmondson and inked by Phil Noto.
Great ending to the story, but it sure was depressing. Seemingly hopeless, especially the last issue depicting her time in Cuba while part of the Soviet's Red Room Initiative. Edmondson tried to end it on a hopeful note, but it just didn't quite make it there.
The artwork, as in the previous two volumes, was fantastic, especially the serene vision of the future the Prophet put into Natasha's head. It had a watercolor feel to it, and you almost wish she took up the offer from CHAOS just to see her content with Matt Murdock on calm waters. Of course, if that were the case, Black Widow would cease to exist, and we can't have that, either.

This is my fifth book by Nathan Edmondson and I've grown really fond of his writing. I just plan to hunt down everything he has written. Since he often writes Punisher and X-Men, certainly it won't be a disappointment.
And Phil Noto's art. Just wow. The intricacy of the art is just beyond anything I've seen in graphic novels. It's fascinating and seductive.
And the storyline and the narration makes reading it quite addictive. I'm not a fan of the idea but execution is really good. Nat's character which quite often appears to be pretty much one-dimensional, in my opinion, has been well developed in this whole series starting from flashbacks to her childhood to growing up an emotionless and calculating assassin to transformation into a complete character with more dimensions and emotions. However, there's no denying that the transition to a character who is almost completely emotionally driven is not convincing enough, not to me. But maybe, I just need to read more of her by other writers as well.
I do think a solo Black Widow movie is certainly possible. I mean, isn't this story arc somewhat like Salt or Mission Impossible? Or maybe this plot is in my short term memory, those movies' arcs are not? Hence the bias.
Well, I loved this whole series despite some shortcomings. I mean it's fiction, hence the liberty.

Cloak and dagger spy adventures. The heart and soul of the Black Widow. This is her forte, being a spy, cold-hearted when the need arises. Not out in deep space fighting Thanos or such. These stories bring out the bad a## in the Black Widow. Thanks to Comixology Unlimited, I have been able to read all 3 Volumes of this version of the Black Widow (issues #1 to #20). Excellent stories and plots. I have several other BW collections to choose from next.

It was ok-ish. Reading month-to-month, I really lost the thread, and I don't think they gave the resolution to the invisible guys conspiracy? Maybe I just forgot. There were some good moments, but as a whole, it was a very forgettable run in my opinion. The only thing that stuck with me is the incredible art by Phil Noto. I now can't imagine Natasha any other way, the way he portrayed her is perfect. And not even Scarlett Johansson could change that :) (although I do think that SJ is pretty awesome).

TA, nao amei a conclusao dessa serie.
Nao entendi pq colocaram duas issues contando uma historia do passado da Natasha, achei que ficou desconexo. Podiam ter terminado a serie com ela resolvendo o role do Chaos e saindo da Shield.
A resoluçao do role do Chaos achei meio bleh tambem, nao achei legal ter quase um profeta por tras da organizaçao, queria que fosse mais uma organizaçao terrorista militar mesmo, mais pé no chão.
E tem uma cena super apelona no final, colocaram o simbolo da foice e o martelo sangrando dps da Natasha matar uma familia kkkkkkkk eu fiquei ah nao marvel agenda anticomunista do nada KKKKKKK
BUCKY AMOR DA MINHA VIDA aparece nesse final tbm, ajudando a Nat com o role do Chaos. Nessa hq ela nao lembra do rolo dela com o Bucky, e numa cena que ela imagina um final feliz ela imagina com o Matt Murdock. Eu até acho interessante esse trelele que ela teve com o daredevil mas DESUMANO DEMAIS MEU BUCKYNAT DEIXADO PRA TRAS ASSIM

Last Days was a good wrap up to what has been a pretty great run. I especially appreciated the art style. If you haven't read this Black Widow series yet, I highly recommend it.
November 16, 2015
Natasha continues on her personal mission to atone for her past, and encounters a mysterious organization called CHAOS. The story becomes a bit mystical with religious undertones when Natasha speaks to one of the members, who tells her that if she chooses to work with them, she'll help to build a better future. But Natasha knows all about working for organizations that use nefarious means to their end.
As usual, I loved the artwork, and how quiet the text is, letting the visuals carry a lot of the story. I love that Winter Soldier makes another appearance and shows that he still cares about Natasha even though Natasha has no memory of their past relationship. Of course I also liked the appearance of Clint and Sam... I also liked the glimpse into Natasha's past. It seems like this is the last in this run, which is kind of sad, I had hoped for something more going on between Bucky and Natasha, even though that was not in any way the major thrust of this series. In this series Black Widow shows her human side and becomes her own person, independent of any romantic entanglements and free from the often hypersexualized depictions of other comics.

Very good comic book. Glad Isaiah wasn't dead. Also glad that Natasha was able to stop Chaos. Good to see the Avengers, Winter Soldier, and Maria Hill. Wonder what Natasha will do now that she quit S.H.I.E.L.D. Hope she will have fun with the Avengers. Also nice to see more scenes with the Red Room.

this series was so depressing. nat's backstory and mentality is very isolating, which made these heavy whereas most comics are really light. i love this characterization and the art though.

Ehh not my favorite of the 3 books ending was a letdown
November 10, 2022
Murky and somewhat disappointing revelation as to what CHAOS is packed in the same good spy action that started in vol 1. Still no emotional involvement; Widow here is a hard-ass cold bitch and she never lets the reader into more than her surface moping. I can’t say I disliked the book but I’m under the impression I would have liked it better had it been an anonymous secret agent or even good ol’ 007.
Noto’s art feels less computer assisted and is the best produced in the series

Didn't love this volume as much as 1 & 2 but I still vibed and I'm so sad this run is over!!
Natasha gets kidnapped by a mysterious group but she's very skilled and can handle herself. I absolutely love how throughout this entire run Natasha is seen as an actual person with a traumatic history trying to work through her mistakes instead of "heh Black Widow is hot & sexy we gotta make sure her zipper is undone bro".
She is a spy, an ex-assassin, a member of the Avengers and SHIELD and she is more than who she's dated or how hOt she is drawn. She can step on my neck regardless but treating a female character like an actual person instead of a sex symbol really makes my entire year. I had previously read an awful & fucked up Black Widow run so this is just... perfection.
I didn't really get this story though like he was from the future or something??? And then it really wrapped up in #18 but then kept going, showing a mission from her past and I was just so confused what was even going on the entire time.
The Winter Soldier shows up and my buckynat heart cried. Him saying he'll always come back for her like shut the front door.😭😭😭
The art is as beautiful as ever and I really wanted to make some panels my phone wallpaper because they were stunning. Love it!!

I love this run. I love how complicated Nat is. She's constantly at odds with herself, and you never really know what she's thinking, but you sort of understand and sympathize with her anyway. I love how the creative team captures her loneliness and longing, as well as the resignation and determination. I love her struggle to find herself, and maintain a sense of morality, despite all the bad things she's done, and knowing that she'll continue to do things like this because someone has to do it. I love how stoic she is, and how hard she tries not to get attached to anything or anyone, then seeing the few who slip through anyway.
I feel so much reading this volume (and this entire run) that I'm very reluctant to say goodbye. I put off reading this for months so I wouldn't have to face the end. But here it is, and it's been an insightful, heartbreaking, and awe-inspiring ride. From the drop-dead gorgeous artwork to the phenomenal writing, I treasure the experience I've had with this volume. It's a great way to end the series, even if it is bitter-sweet.

It was fine, but a step down from the previous volumes, mainly due to the resolution to the Chaos plotline. I do of course realize that, as an Avenger, Natasha now battles intergalactic threats as well as minor ones, but once the Prophet started showing her the future and all that, I lost interest. With a book so focused on Natasha's past and her connections to other characters, the fact that Chaos was made into this whole big thing instead of just being an international spy business felt pretty mismatched.
CN: Animal murder.
(P.S. The timeline is super unclear, so the flashbacks may be post-1989, but a Soviet Union Russian man proooooobably wouldn't say "Dear Lord" to express shock. Especially one as old as the character in question. Just sayin'.)

I really enjoyed this, but I agree with other reviewers that it felt rushed at times, but this could've been because there were crossover issues that I didn't read. I would've liked to see more development of Nat's relationships with the Avengers. Also, I think more could've been made of Chaos as a villain, but the possibility is set up at the end of the arc for the reappearance of Chaos.
I started to get a little fatigued of Edmonson writing Nat's inner angsty thoughts about being different and alone, but this author wallowing in the black side of spies and superhero vigilantes is a well-known hazard. I loved the flashbacks about Nat's beginnings as a Russian operative/assassin, though. It was great when Edmonson showed us Nat's conflict rather than telling it.

Serinin son cildi öncekilere göre daha kalın fakat daha az tatmin edici. Hem Chaos davasının çözülüşünü hem de karakterimizin geçmişten bugüne dönüşümünü okuyoruz. Pek tatmin edici bulamadım ne yazık ki. Önceki cilt çok Marvel evrenine değinen bir hikaye sunarken burada uzaklaşmışlar fakat Chaos kısmı biraz aceleye gelmiş gibi hissettim. Ayrıca bu hikayeye neden bilim kurgu katmışlar anlayamadım. Bence o ana kadarki hikayeye hiç uymayan bir ekleme olmuş. Kitap en son Küba hikayesiyle tamamlanmış olsa da ben elçi ile hatırlayacağım.

While the plot picked up slightly in this volume, I still couldn't find anything to hang onto that saved this for me.
The art in this volume went downhill for me as well, especially after loving the previous volumes art.
I love Natasha and Black Widow in general but this run was nothing overly special for me. Don't get me wrong: I didn't hate this. I just wasn't head over hills in love either.

(read as single issues) <3 Nat <3 I so love the character development we got in this arc. especially the use of Liho the cat as a vehicle for character development!!! good job Liho. also Phil Noto's art continues to be spectacular.

My favorite of the Nathan Edmondson Black Widow series. Volume 3 finally shows us Natasha Romanova's past, and it is not too pretty. Well, when she is a little girl she is as cute as a button, but when she is a new spy...Sheesh! How can anyone be so cruel?
Overall, I love this book. Natasha follows a series of clues in order to find out who is trying to murder her. Last Days reads as a spy novel. There is action, disguises, heart felt moments, mystery, and suspense. The only downside of the novel is the final battle between Natasha and her enemy ends too abruptly. I wish they could have stretched their encounter out a bit, given us more or something. After all, Natasha goes through so much to find him, it is anti-climactic to have it all end in a single issue. Oh well! What can you do?
Overall, I give Last Days 4 stars. I love reading about Natasha's back story. I really cared for both Natasha and her friend in Russia. I also love reading about her story as a new spy--fascinating stuff! Also, I love the tie in between her cat and her friend's cat. Not for the faint of heart, but if you don't mind a little blood and violence, Black Widow is a great read!

There is action, disguises, heart felt moments, mystery, and suspense. The only downside of the novel is the final battle between Natasha and her enemy ends too abruptly. I wish they could have stretched their encounter out a bit, given us more or something. After all, Natasha goes through so much to find him, it is anti-climactic to have it all end in a single issue. Oh well! What can you do?
Overall, I give Last Days 4 stars. I love reading about Natasha's back story. I really cared for both Natasha and her friend in Russia. I also love reading about her story as a new spy--fascinating stuff! Also, I love the tie in between her cat and her friend's cat. Not for the faint of heart, but if you don't mind a little blood and violence, Black Widow is a great read!

So, it really is over. I finally finished the last volume of this run and I don’t have the words to describe how I feel about the ending. It was...confusing?! The writing was often inconclusive and it left some questions unanswered.
The art was worth it though. If you need a reason to pick this run up, THAT is it. There is no shame in doing it and loving it just because of the artwork.
Last thoughts: I love Natasha Romanoff and her cat.
