Black Widow #5 (2019) concludes the limited series by writers Jen and Sylvia Soska and artist Flaviano. The story, titled "No Restraints Play," finds Natasha Romanoff exacting revenge on the criminal organization responsible for her death and revival through cloning.
Summary of the issue
The Trap is Sprung: After tracking down the criminal mastermind "Tech Ed" on his yacht, Natasha confronts him. The final confrontation reveals the twisted plot: Ed, who claims to have been a victim of abuse, was trying to expose bigger players in the criminal underworld. However, Natasha is not swayed by his story.
A Familiar Face and a New Beginning: With Ed defeated, Natasha transfers his ill-gotten cryptocurrency to her ally, Tyger Tiger. The money will be used to help the children who were rescued from the criminal organization and who now look up to the Black Widow as their hero. Natasha provides a set of prostheses to one of the children who lost their hands.
Moving On: The comic ends with Natasha deciding to move on to her next mission, but not before a brief, poignant meeting with Steve Rogers. She advises him to forgive himself for past mistakes, echoing her own journey toward atonement, and assures him she will always be there for him. The last panel shows her on a rooftop, letting out a primal scream before smiling, seemingly ready to embrace her new path.
