Silk continues to be one of the best up and coming heroes in the Marvel universe. This first trade was well written, with striking art and well developed themes. Silk pushes the boundaries of the traditional superhero, from her race to her mental health struggles, and she shines in this collection. I've recommended her to a number of people and this is a series I will keep picking up for a long time.

I know, I know, Silk seems a lot like a female Peter Parker of the 90s and early 2000s. But she more and more develops her own story and own agenda. She behaves differently than young Peter I liked this story and I just have a lot of feels for Cindy. I think the parts with Cindy being at a therapist were especially interesting.
I don't know why the artist changed twice (Stacey Lee for the beginning, Tana Ford for the middle and Veronica Fish for the third part, going back to Tana Ford for the final part) but it wasn't a problem for me. I liked the art of all of them.

3.5* I read this in the single issues but I don't want to count every issue as a book so I thought I'd just review the trade.
I had high expectations after I really enjoyed the first volume and I was not let down. At the beginning I was a bit confused because it doesn't start right after the first volume ended, some time has passed. I really liked the storyline though. Silk is kind of a double agent for S.H.I.E.L.D and is pretending to work for Black Cat. I was a bit sad that there was less about her family in this one but her personal struggles and anger problems were still really interesting. I really like Cindy/Silk, she is funny but has also a dark side which makes her a really compelling character.
What kind of annoyed me were the changing artists, there were three in this volume and while I really liked the art by Lee and Fish, I unfortunately did not enjoy the art by Ford as much.

I'm still not totally invested in this story, but I liked this one better than volume 0. It's a little serious for a spider-person maybe? Also, the art was not consistent. The difference was a little jolting and I just didn't like the style of some of them and it distracted me. I did find Black Cat to be interesting, but I don't even really remember any other characters already? Except the goblin dude. I'm hoping this series picks up a little bit because I want to like it more!

4.5 stars! Really enjoyable even without knowing the wider universe, but the changes in art styles between comics was annoying.

The first volume in the stand-alone series Silk.
Cindy Moon is out of her bunker, and in the post Spider-Verse world of Earth 616 is living 2 lives - Fact Channel assistant by day, Mysterious masked Silk by night. Working undercover for Blackcat whilst trying to find her missing family.
Cindy is dealing with a lot of trauma from her decade alone in a bunker - it shows in this story.
Silk volume 1 takes place just before the graphic novel Spider-Women.
