Raison D'etre

Natasha Romanoff begins her mission of personal atonement, taking on dangerous jobs the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. would never sanction. In Berlin, she executes a high-stakes assignment to retrieve sensitive information from a corrupt businessman, while back in New York, her handler Isaiah manages her affairs and she tends to a stray black cat named Liho. This debut issue establishes the tone of the series as Natasha balances her work as an Avenger with her private quest to wipe red from her ledger.
