2020 review: This collects he original Limited 7-issue series, carrying on Silk's story after her Spiderverse debut. What a fascinating debut, and character she was, but yet again, it's evident that the so called 'House of Ideas' didn't really have any real concrete plans on next steps, other than giving her her own book. Moderate fare - 6 out of 12.
Well, that was a thing. No, not THE Thing; that's somebody else. A thing that should not be.This book was of a generally low standard and was clearly targeted at a generation I am not a part of (a generation that not only knows what a 'Pokemon' is but is actively nostalgic about them). This is not my main problem with this book, though.My main problem with this book is the existence of the titular character in the first place. She is the ultimate Mary-Sue character. She can do everything Spider-...
So I am teaching a course on YA Graphic novels with a focus on women/girls this summer, and so this is just one more I have heard was popular, so will read it for the class. But there is a lot to take in. Ms. Marvel by Wilson, Hulk by Tamaki, Aaron’s Thor,: Goddess of Thunder, Nimona, Squirrelgirl, Faith Hicks’s Nameless City, Lumberjanes. So much. So much so good, and a cultural phenomenon worth looking into, eh? And too much? There’s some suggestion by the Marvel boys that all the females and
I'm not sure why Marvel didn't wait until after Secret Wars to start this series. Just as you get the first trickling of what happened to her family, the series is derailed by Secret Wars. I enjoyed the story even if there wasn't a whole lot of substance behind it. I also liked Cindy Moon's relationship with J. Jonah Jameson. What I didn't like is the art, too cartoony and manga-influenced for me.
Bullet Review:This was okay; the art inside was quite the surprise given the covers and issue 7 was BLECH (sorry Tana Ford). Story is meh, Cindy Moon felt like Kamala Khan if she were college-aged, didn't care for Black Cat being a baddie (why?!), and isn't it weird how many Spider Heroes there are?!Okay, so that sounds like I hated it; I didn't. Because Cindy Moon is a nice addition to Marvel - another competent female superhero who just happens to be Asian without stupid stereotypes (at least,...
The main complaint I’ve heard about this (and Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Woman) is basically “oh noez, they’ve got WOMEN all up in my comics!” To which I say: “heck yeah, about time.” Silk’s first solo volume is reasonable, though the themes are familiar — Jessica Drew had some of the same adjustment problems from her spidery-past, Cindy has to learn to do the whole great-power-and-responsibility thing, coping with a normal life, and so on.It’s fun enough, though not outstanding, and somewhat hobbl...
My 250th review! And it is of a comic book about a spider-woman superhero. Good times.Let's silk-swing right into 'Silk, Vol. 0: The Life and Times of Cindy Moon'!I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I adore the main lead, who is the heart of everything in this whole volume, no question. I'm glad to have read an excellent, human depiction of an Asian superheroine: Silk/Cindy Moon is flawed but is vigorously trying to do better. She strives towards her goal of finding her family, never givin...
omg this was the best series i’ve read in soooo long!!! i read this for literally no reason, my brain just decided it was time to read silk. and it did not disappoint!there wasn’t anything exactly outstanding about this, it was the typical series with a hero who gains powers and has a tragic backstory involving them, uses their powers for good and has team-ups with heroes against a big villain. but the wiring in this was excellent and i loved the art. i also loved that cindy is a hockey player.i...
cindy moon/silk is one of the best superhero characters I’ve ever read about. That’s all
That old Parker luck seems to have rubbed off on the Marvel schedulers, who launched three solo titles for Spider-related women (Silk, Spider-Woman, and Spider-Gwen) within a month or so of one another, all of which were almost instantly derailed by the Secret Wars juggernaut. Like the man says, "Oh-h-h Brother!" Silk was the quietest launch of the three, and the one I expected least from - Cindy Moon was hobbled with an unpromising backstory (she's spent her entire young adulthood in a secret b...
hum, this is hard to rate. in one hand, it's not very original or special but on the other, it's actually fun to read. Cindy is pretty cool and I'm very interested in her quest to find the family. but she's just spider-man and there doesn't seem to be any real risks for her since she's kinda unstoppable. also, what the hell is up with black cat? I'm confuse. I liked this enough but I'm not really convinced yetfull review here: https://catshelf.wordpress.com/2017/0...
