The Black Widow is not normally a woman who involves herself in gang wars, but this one is a bit different. When an ousted Torino family lieutenant forms a new mob “family” and comes after his old family with a vengeance, leading a renegade mob of moloids and kidnapping a U.S. senator who’s a personal friend of the X-Men known as Storm, it’s up to the Black Widow to put an end to this mob war. And she has to do it all with a team comprised of herself, and Storm, and the world’s number one expert on moloids…the Mole Man.
