Going into Black Widow #5, the concluding issue of this super dark mini-series, the stakes are at an all-time high. Natasha’s attempts to root out the men behind the truly heinous No Restraints Play and destroy them have gone awry, and now there are loose ends: the victims themselves, who are still very much at risk. As she races to save them and put an end to this practice on Madripoor for good, things are bound to get worse before they get better.
