-Cindy Moon swings right from the mega-crossover Spider-Verse into her own series! Making the transition from locked in a bunker for the last 10 years to a full-blown productive member of society isn't as easy as she thought it would be. Despite that, she's got a full-time job, a roommate, and the start of her very own rogues gallery. And, of course, there's always Spider-Man and their spider-attraction to each other.
The Good: Honestly, I don't get the online "hate" for Cindy Moon. I think she's an interesting character, and after reading this book, I can see a TON of potential for some great stories to be told in this series. Thompson gives us a fantastic old-school Spider-Man story, updated for this character and for modern times. It's got all the classic hallmarks of a story set in the Spider-Man Universe. Cindy's got job problems, roommate problems, money problems, and the added "fun" of being VERY out of touch with society. The art in this book is just as solid as the writing. Stacey Lee does a great job at creating a whole new "world" for Silk, yet it's kept solidly in the Marvel Universe.
The Bad: I could've used a little more super-heroics in this issue. As it stands, the book was about 4 pages of Cindy fighting villains, and the rest of the issue in her civilian identity. Besides that, there's not a lot of major complaints that I have about this issue.
What you should do: Pick this up! As I mentioned before, it's a really good, solid first issue, and there's a lot of potential in this character. Great writing, great art-what's not to love?
