Widow X

A short-lived but intense series from Avatar Press, Widow X (1999–2000) follows a mysterious and deadly vigilante on a brutal path of vengeance through a gritty, ultraviolent world. Spanning 14 issues, the title is most closely associated with artist Mike Wolfer, whose detailed, visceral style defined the series' dark visual identity. A product of the late-'90s indie comics boom, it stands as a potent example of the publisher's early forays into adult-oriented, horror-tinged superhero action.
