Black Widow: Venomous #1

I’m a little confused at the timing of this series (I know we’re getting some kind of symbiote event so maybe that’s why it was held off) but it sure seems like a series diving into Natasha‘s relationship with her symbiote would have made more sense before the Black Widow & Hawkeye mini-series that isn’t even referenced here.
