The next chapter of Marvel’s Wastelanders scripted podcast series is set to premiere on Monday, January 10. Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow was announced on December 20, 2021, by Marvel Entertainment and SiriusXM.
The story of Marvel’s Wastelanders: Black Widow is set 30 years following The Day the Villains Won (also referred to as V-Day). Helen Black arrives to what used to be known as Midtown Manhattan at her new apartment The Onar. The Onar is a 161-story apartment complex owned and operated by S.H.I.E.LD., exemplifying capital and inequality that has inhabited New York City since V-Day. The most elite families live in the highest ten stories of the Onar, also known as the DecaDomes. Helen resides in what is known as “100 Block.” Helen suggests that she moved to the area due to “problems with an ex…”.
Lisa Cartwright starts her first day as a Junior Residential Security Analyst for Panopticog Solutions, a private security company hired by S.H.I.E.L.D. that watches over the residents of The Onar, the same day that Helen moves into the apartment. Lisa’s job includes monitoring Helen’s section of The 100 Block, and she uncovers that Helen is not who she says she is. Listen to the series teaser HERE.
