Calling all Marvel fans. Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times best-selling co-author of the Beautiful Creatures series uncovers a new side of the Marvel Universe and reveals the untold story of Black Widow for the very first time. Margaret is bringing some friends:
- Sabaa Tahir is the author of Ember in the Ashes, of which MTV.com says "A setting inspired by ancient Rome; a fierce battle for freedom in the face of tyranny; and a villain who makes Cersei Lannister and Dolores Umbridge look like a pair of pathetic amateurs...An Ember in the Ashes is at the top of our must-read list for 2015."
- Marguerite Bennet is the author of Marvel's A Force - an all female Avengers team
- Judy Stephens is a Marvel producer, blogger, photographer, and cosplay expert
- Lorraine Cink is an actor, host and writer of Marvel's The Watcher, an online comedy news program for Marvel Comics, and improviser who can be seen performing weekly at the People's Improv Theater and Magner Theater in NYC . Watch a clip of her here: https://youtu.be/O8O9Q3M91UI
Natasha Romanoff is one of the world's most lethal assassins. Trained from a young age in the arts of death and deception, Natasha was given the title of Black Widow by Ivan Somodorov, her brutal teacher at the Red Room, Moscow's infamous academy for operatives. Ava Orlova is just trying to fit in as an average Brooklyn teenager, but her life has been anything but average.The daughter of a missing Russian quantum physicist, Ava was once subjected to a series of ruthless military experiments - until she was rescued by Black Widow and placed under S.H.I.E.L.D. protection. Ava has always longed to reconnect with her mysterious savior, but Black Widow isn't really the big sister type. Until now. When children all over Eastern Europe begin to go missing, and rumors of smuggled Red Room tech light up the dark net, Natasha suspects her old teacher has returned -- and that Ava Orlova might be the only one who can stop him. To defeat the madman who threatens their future, Natasha and Ava must unravel their pasts. Only then will they discover the truth about the dark-eyed boy with an hourglass tattoo who haunts Ava's dreams. . . .
This will be a celebration of all things Marvel. So come in costume (there WILL be prizes).
