Black Widow #13
- Title: Black Widow #13
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Kelly Thompson
- Artist: Rafael Pimentel
Taking an opportunity to offer context to the final panel of the previous issue, Black Widow #13 offers a flashback issue to Black Widow‘s time in Madripoor and her first meeting with the Living Blade, featuring limited dialogue (but plenty of narration from Natasha) we watch our heroine do her best to survive someone who appears more force of nature than man.
Even after their encounter comes to an end, Widow isn’t sure what she did to get on the legend’s radar but she is sure that she hasn’t seen the last of him. Recreating the character’s older costume and look, along with a retro feel to the art, Black Widow #13 is a fun single issue that still serves a larger arc. Whatever the Living Blade wanted from Natasha all those years ago, he’s back. Can she survive him a second time?

The Card Counter
- Title: The Card Counter
- IMDb: link
Writer/director Paul Schrader examines the worlds of gambling and torture, which turn out to not be as mutually exclusive as you may think. In terms of gambling, The Card Counter doesn’t offer any new information or insight we haven’t seen presented before by movies like Rounders and 21.
What makes the movie unique is William Tell’s (Oscar Isaac) past as a disgraced MP who served 1o years in federal prison for torture in Abu Ghraib. His past causes him to befriend a troubled young man (Tye Sheridan), hoping to dissuade him from taking vengeance out on a man (Willem Dafoe) both characters have reason to hate. The relationship between the pair is a peculiar one as Will takes accepts a job on the poker tour to help his new friend who wants a completely different kind of assistance from him.
