Marvel Comics has announced a new four-issue limited series starring the iconic due of Black Widow and Hawkeye.
Black Widow & Hawkeye launches in March 2024 from writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Paolo Villanelli. The upcoming series celebrates both title characters’ 60th anniversary. (The Natalia Romanova/Natasha Romanoff incarnation of Black Widow first appeared in 1964’s Tales of Suspense #52, while Clint Barton/Hawkeye debuted later that year in Tales of Suspense #57). Marvel promises that Phillips and Villanelli’s new title will “dive into the duo’s history of secrets and espionage while playing off recent developments including Natasha Romanoff’s recent bonding with a symbiote!”

What is Black Widow & Hawkeye about?
An official synopsis for Black Widow & Hawkeye #1 reads as follows: “THE EYES OF A HAWK AND THE VENOM OF A WIDOW! Even when Black Widow and Hawkeye had no one to trust, they still had each other — even though their paths sometimes diverged. So when Clint Barton is accused of a rogue assassination attempt that puts the U.S. and Madripoor at odds, a symbiote-equipped Natasha Romanoff thinks nothing of coming to his aid. But as echoes of their past ripple into the present, it will take all their faith in each other — and the lessons learned along the way — to protect their futures.”
“I love getting the chance to dig deep with Natasha Romanov and Clint Barton to tell a fast-paced spy story that celebrates their 60th anniversary,” Phillips said, “Nothing is as it seems, and I’m having a ton of fun writing these characters. Not to mention they both look great for 60.”
Black Widow & Hawkeye #1 goes on sale March 13, 2024 from Marvel Comics.
