Meet the Red Guardian and Yelena Belova in 'Widowmakers'

Look inside 'Widowmakers: Red Guardian and Yelena Belova' #1 before it hits stands on November 18!

Yelena Belova, the Red Room recruit who once nearly killed Natasha Romanoff, has spent years trying to figure out who she is. Once she thought the Black Widow mantle was her destiny, but fate had other plans.

Now the past is catching up with her—and with Alexi Shostakov, AKA the Red Guardian. Alexi has worn many titles, including husband to Natasha, but while the Widow played her avenging games, the Red Guardian waited in the shadows. Now a new day is dawning—and this time, no one will stand in his way.

Devin Grayson, one of the creators of Yelena Belova, returns with a brand–new story drawn by rising star Michele Bandini on November 18 in WIDOWMAKERS: RED GUARDIAN AND YELENA BELOVA #1!
