Which super heroic member of The Avengers film is your favorite so far? Is it the bad boy millionaire, Tony Stark? Is it the patriotic boyscout, Captain America? Could it be Thor, with his wild blond tresses? I know! It’s The Black Widow, as portrayed by Scarlett Johansson. Well, if that’s true, then wait till you see the actress’s new magazine cover. She’s in character, too, and carrying a loaded weapon.

She is a super spy and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., she’ll be assembling along with Joss Whedon’s other Avengers, her real name is Natasha Romanoff and today we have a look at The Black Widow’s new cover for Empire magazine. In true comic book fashion, there are other, colorful, collectible covers for the issue, which hits newsstands on January 26th. They feature the guys, better known as Iron Man, Cap, and Thor.

Other characters may not get their own covers, but I have to mention them just the same. Samuel L. Jackson reprises his role as Nick Fury. Mark Ruffalo is The Hulk. Jeremy Renner is Clint Barton, a.k.a Hawkeye. And you’ll remember Thor’s half-brother, Loki, as acted by Tom Hiddleston.

I also hear How I Met Your Mother femme, Cobie Smulders, will play a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

The Avengers hits on May 4th and I hope it hits hard! By the by, this issue of Empire looks like a must-see. There are pieces covering Skyfall, The Hunger Games, and the new chapter of Bourne.
