White Widow #2 continues its twist as a better True Lies

White Widow #2

The movie Don’t Worry Darling is a film which questions past and present concurrently. It features an idyllic environment, which plays out like a scene from the 1950s. All the characters seem perfect and their situations just as infallible This is where we, the audience, notice the  crevices which hide the cracks that allow us to surmise who they really were.

We soon find out that the whole movie was almost an explainer for the existence of incels. It shows just how fragile the male psyche is. Those facades they put on, are not for them, but for those who may be watching. In White Widow #2, Yelena pulls back the layers of the onion of who Armament is and why are these interested in the town of Idyllhaven.

We’re taken to a flashback where Yelena saves Wolverine from an assassination attempt, as she discovers someone is hunting supers for some reason but she also discovers that she may be looking for another occupation. This leads to a scene where Yelena is discussing an healthcare provider the different options she has under her HMO. This is when she runs into a few of her neighbors, some of which she has no clue who they really are, as one of them works for a shell corporation for Armament, which makes her even distrusting. By the issue’s end, Yelena discovers an assassin nearby and Armament uses a far more basic way to intimidate her, which only stirs the pot for her.

Overall, White Widow #2 is a better True Lies that we didn’t know we needed. The story by Sarah Gailey is fun. The art by the creative team is stunning. Altogether,a story that spills with suspense.
