Black Widow & Hawkeye #2

The second issue of Black Widow & Hawkeye doesn’t delve any deeper into the admission Clint Barton made at the end of the last issue in that he is responsible for the assassination the whole world is blaming him for. Before further explanation can be given, Clint is poisoned by an assassin who Black Widow scares off but to save her friend she’ll need the help of her symbiote (who like Natasha knows her friend is lying but doesn’t understand her need to save someone refusing her help).
