First comic book to have read and I really enjoyed it. I really liked the illustrations in it, and I wish my library carried all of the volumes so I could continue....

Wow, a great opener that also works perfectly as a continuation from the last series -- as if that pesky little Secret War never happened to interrupt its flow. Love any appearance of Mockingbird, too!

"Silk is back" makes me feel as if I am missing something. Solid first issue with decent dialogue and cool artwork. However, I wasn't hooked and I like I stated before, I feel like I am missing something.

I'm reading a trade's worth of these issues now so I'm counting it!

I think that I might like Silk better if I had read previous comics that she was in. I liked this, but it wasn't anything earth-shattering for me. Silk's backstory is interesting (trapped in a bunker for the last 10 years and therefore lacks knowledge of pop culture), and I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek similarities to Peter Parker (boss that looks like J. Jonah Jameson at a different news organization), but I haven't been drawn in yet. Also, maybe it's because she was sequestered from the world, or because this title is marketed to a younger crowd, but Cindy Moon never reads as a grown-ass woman to me.

There are a lot of things going on in this short issue, and how soon, and how well, they start to pay off seems like it will be the make-or-break for this title: missing parents; a brother in rehab; being a double agent in Black Cat's organization; and some goblin gang (kind of cheesy villains in my opinion).

P.S. To be honest, the fact that Silk is an Asian female, combined with the fact that, like many others, I have a fondness for Spider-Man, tipped me into reading this.
