Black Widow + Hawkeye team up in a miniseries from Marvel

The first issue by Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli arrives in March of next year.

Hawkeye and Black Widow both turn 60 next year, having both debuted in the pages of Tales of Suspense back in 1964. To celebrate the duo, Marvel will release Black Widow and Hawkeye next year, a four-issue miniseries by Stephanie Phillips and Paolo Villanelli.

Nocenti + Villanelli send Captain Marvel on a cosmic mission in ‘Dark Tempest’
