I didn't love this, and for no particular reason. I liked it a lot, yes, and it's still a really good series, but something about this volume just didn't grab me. But it's still incredibly satisfying to see Cindy finally get reunited with her family.
2.0 out of 5 starsWhy call this volume 2 if there is a volume in between one and two...? I'm more confused than at the end of the first. Also everything seemed to happen to easily and happily for a superhero. Don't think I'll be continuing with the rest of the series.
While I enjoyed the writing, art, and characters, I did not enjoy the interruptions with the events and crossovers.
The Negative struggles a lot as Silk doesn't come across as particularly likable. There's a fine line between a hard luck hero/heroine and one that's whiny and navel gazing. Unfortunatley, Silk falls into that patterns. While she understandably and realistically has issues after what's happened to her, Thompson doesn't do a good job helping us to see as strong or admire her. See Sam Humphries characterization of Jessica Cruz in Green Lanterns to see how this is done right.In addition, there are
[Read as single issues]Free of the Spider-Women crossover and the Black Cat plotline, Silk can finally get back to what she wants to do - find her parents, who are still missing.This arc really puts Cindy in the spotlight where other arcs have tried and had to juggle a lot more at the same time. This one is almost all Cindy, all the time. Even when the other characters in her supporting cast get involved, the story is still firmly Cindy's, and she shines under Robbie Thompson's writing. I love h...
Another good volume.
ARG! Why did they have to use that artist so much!? I've enjoyed "SILK" so far, even if it has had a switch in artist a lot, they never stuck around, and the artists I liked rotated back in. Not so in this volume. Have to admit, that if — I think it is Tana Ford — the artist I don't like has most of the next volume, I'm not sure I'll read it.In other news, the story progressed nicely, and while it got weird toward the end, it wrapped one thread up. Also, I keep liking Black Cat more and more, an...
3.5 stars, rounding upI have an ongoing nit that Black Cat and Mockingbird are virtually indistinguishable (I have to look for costume clues) which is what happens when female superheroes all have to look like blonde Barbie. That being said, I love that we have three female MC's with their own agendas, abilities and hang-ups. And they never devolve to the cliche "cat fight" stand-by. Meanwhile, "The Negative" as a storyline & alternate universe is pretty silly. There was also, apparently, anothe...
Spiralling our the pages of Spider-Women, with Mockingbird around, the had-to-happen fallout between Cindy and Black Cat has gotta happen sooner than later right? In other news the family member search continues, into the Negative Zone! 6 out of 12
If we could assign half-point ratings, I would give this a 3.5.Evil Silk (A.K.A Nefarious Silk, as she prefers it) shows up from Earth 65 and goes on a crime spree. Stealing tech from the likes of Parker and Pym. Leaving the real Cindy Moon with a big mess to clean up. Let the Fact Channel tell it, Silk has gone bad, but Mockingbird knows better. On the upside of things, Evil Silk's game gave Good Silk street cred with Black Cat but unfortunately, when the real Silk shows up, she simply didn't m...
This is one of the most criminally underrated Marvel series. It's been consistently awesome, Cindy Moon is a fantastic character and I'm sad that I have no idea where it's going from here. This volume picks up from an arc I think I may have skipped? I have no idea when it was revealed that there was an evil Cindy running around. There were some other threads discussed in the beginning that I was also confused about, as well. I don't know. It was slightly annoying but not so much that I couldn't
Some sections were better than others but the last one really made me like this book. Silk and her costars are rising up the ranks for me.
This volume feels like a wrap up to the series even though there's at least one more volume after this. The story with Black Cat gets wrapped up in a hurry in the blandest way possible. Then Cindy finally finds her parents in the goofiest of places, a D&D land in the Negative Zone. It's pretty dumb. This series had some potential, but it all just slips between the cracks here. It's a boring story with bland art from Tana Ford. Marvel needs to start paying artists better I guess. They've got on a...
This volume was definitely an improvement on the previous two, even if the whole Dungeons & Dragons in the Negative Zone thing was a bit silly. It would have made SO much more sense if it had been set in Weirdworld instead, but I guess Weirdworld didn't exist yet when Silk's parents went missing.
Well, that took a turn for the weird. Lot's of jumping around to tie up loose ends. Would have like to see things more developed.
Actual Rating: 3.75 out of 5 stars.Enjoyable, it got weird at times but I still liked it :)
reread in june 2019; four stars ∗ this comic series is soso underrated!! i love cindy moon to death and am eagerly waiting to get my hands on the next installment!! if you’re a fan of spider-man, i highly recommend giving these books a go!
Better...World: Only 1 issues of Stacey Lee art...really...I am sorry I am not a fan of Tana Ford's art, it's just off for me. The world building here is in patches and kinda wonky and for the sake of the story. All the good stuff of building Silk's little piece of New York in the first arc (Vol 0) has pretty much gone down the drain and it disappoints me.Story: The Black Cat end with the friends was good, this was mostly not due to the story itself but the therapy sessions. They were wonderful
2.5 —the magical element felt kinda random and cheesy. The book as a whole felt very YA compared to the volume before it.
It was on track as a 4 with a solid SHIELD story...then we walked into Game of Thrones and it began to lose me.
