UNREAL. This is everything I wanted from Spider-Gwen. Wow. Also, Silk's suit is amazing. 11/10. YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE IS AMAZING? The dynamic between Cindy and Peter *wipes tear*This is the best comic I've read in a really long time! I can't wait to see what's in store...
I JUST LOVED IT. The artwork is amazing. I loved it too.
getting into marvel comics and I LOVE CINDY MOON SM!!!
Crossposted @ The BibliosanctumSilk #1 is worth a mention. There are too few mainstream books with women of color placed squarely in the center. (Cindy Moon is Asian-American.) Not only do I feel this book is important for that reason, but this is really a good female-led comic despite a few bumps I’ll talk about later. (Skip to the bottom for the TL;DR version.) Before I talk about the book itself, here’s the gist of how Cindy Moon got her spider powers. I apologize that this is probably not...
I really enjoyed this first issue. I loved the appearances of Spider-Man an J. Jonah Jameson! This is the first time I've ever read a story featuring Silk. I'm intrigued by her backstory. She also has a lot in common with our friendly neighbourhoud Spider-Man and she has enough differences with Spidey to not make het just a female version of him. I liked the art, I liked the coloring and I liked the writing too. I've added this comic to my pull list and will be checking out the earlier stories w...
I can't believe how fantastic this introduction issue to Silk was! I was completely shocked by how much I enjoyed this first issue. Silk has something exciting and new to it. I'm not even sure I can put my finger on it quite frankly but there's just something about this comic series that is so fantastic. I'm not usually a Marvel fan, in fact, I usually go towards DC comics before I go towards Marvel but between this and Spider- Gwen Marvel is really stepping up their game with bad ass women!!
I've been interested in Silk as a character since meeting her in the facebook marvel game, Avengers Alliance, so I bought this first issue when I saw it at the comics store we visited for Free Comicbook day. I enjoyed getting to know more about the character and her unique problems and challenges, and I'm planning to try and get more of her comics through the library system.
Beautiful art and an intriguing story that I'm looking forward to hearing more about.It might be better to read Silk's first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man first, since the events of that are mentioned more than once.
A review from my free e-magazine: PopFam.com - Pop Culture for Familieshttp://www.popfam.com Silk #1Marvel Comics by Robbie Thompson & Stacey LeeReader Appeal/Publisher Rating: "T" for TeensGenre: SuperheroMarvel Comics spins off a new series starring a supporting character from the “Spider-verse.” You really want to like Silk. She is—almost literally—a female rendition of Peter Parker/The Amazing Spider-Man. That said, you’d be hard-pressed to say why Silk needs to exist in the Marvel universe—...
I haven't read any recent Marvel comics (or DC for that matter). So, I decided to give one of their new titles/characters a try. This was the premise for Silk #8. No joke: "Cindy Moon (Silk), Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman), and Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 (also Spider-Woman) recently discovered that the Cindy of Gwen's universe is a megalomaniacal mad scientist. She trapped them on Earth-65, traveled to their home universe and framed the real Silk for a series of tech robberies. Cindy and Gwen tracked h...
First off, I don't know too much about Spider-Verse or Spider-related stuff. I've only read the first 5 issues of Spider-Woman by Hopeless and Spider-Gwen #1. I didn't find the comic hard to follow or understand, and though I'm curious as to how Cindy is first introduced in the Marvel universe, it isn't necessary to appreciate the story and characters here.The art looks amazing. The colours are bright and bold and the lines are delightfully playful. Everything is a treat for the eyes. Flashbacks...
Read this for my first Ladies Comic Book Club meeting 7/20/16, which was at a winery! And with a really fun group of nerdy ladies!I liked this Silk comic. It was a lot of information thrown at you very quickly, and I think I may have enjoyed it more if I knew more about the universe overall, and also about the other Spider characters, more than just the Spiderman movies. Also, this was a volume that was 7 issues, and there were 3 artists across those 7 issues. I REALLY didn't like when the artis...
I think I would be happier with this one if the Spider-Man/Silk relationship doesn't turn out to be a romantic one, since it seems unnecessary. Women don't have to be written into stories for another love interest, but I'm not sure that's where it's going, so I guess I will see! However, I do appreciate they didn't turn her into a carbon copy of Spider-Man, just female. She's bad at quips and inner-monologuing, and is reserved in her interactions for a completely different reason than Parker was...
I like Cindy Moon. This was a great start to her series, and while sometimes the art seemed to be a bit disproportionate to the narrative, it still worked. The bunker scene is interesting, as is her relationship to Peter Parker. I'm excited to delve more into Cindy's world, and will probably subscribe to this series---at least to see how the first story arc unravels. [image error]
It's ok. Nothing stands out in this first issue. Does have several cameo appearances by regular Spider-Man cast. However she really just feels like another Spider-Man clone, and does he really need another one of those? The art is bright and looks animated cartoonish. Not a fan at this point but if they step up their game next issue I might get into it.
I liked this quite a lot. My biggest quibble is that I don't really care about Peter Parker and there's more of him than I'd like in this intro, but I also realize that helps it grow an audience, soooooo...
So far so good. Silk seems cool and this issue gives you a good taste of what sort of book this is going to be. Solid issue 1 that makes me want to read the next.
Decent debut, but I liked her better in the early issues of Amazing Spider-man. Hopefully this series will pickup as it rolls along.
