A promising first issue for a series with good storytelling. It's a mafia, horror story with a lot of style. Read Full Review

Dylan Burnett's pencils are amazing as he gives life to the monstrous appendages the Weavers wield. Not only does he make the superpowers look great, but he also fleshes out the characters and makes them jump off of the page. Read Full Review

All in all, I can gladly say that "Weavers" #1 isn't as much about spiders as it is a love letter to gangster films filtered through a touch of Eldritch noir, using the spiders as a metaphor for the capacity for violence that our characters have. While this first issue is very much just the first act of the story, introducing the characters and world and lore of the Weavers themselves, Spurrier, Burnett, Farrell and Campbell do such a great job of making "Weavers" feel like something fresh and new despite the fusion of two otherwise well treaded genres that it continues to be a captivating read. Now that may be because I will mark out to anything that feels remotely Lovecraftian, but that doesn't take away from the craftmanship on display that promises that this will be a dark and wild six issue ride.

Weavers is a fast-paced, original, and clever story. The premise will cling onto you (much like the tiny little hairy feet of a spider), and spin you around on an exhilarating ride through the grimy criminal underground network. This is a beautiful book from a very talented team, and it would behoove you to give the first issue a try. Who knows? Maybe you'll find that you, too, have a supernatural spider hidden deep within.

This is a really interesting story with a lot of elements to it. For anyone who likes darker comic books and/or the crime noir genre, you’re going to love this series. It comes out tomorrow, so don’t forget to pick it up at your local comic book shop! Read Full Review

Weavers is not what I would consider the traditional take on a comic book. If I had to sum this up in one sentence I would say that it is a cross between The Sopranos and a Invasion of the Body Snatchers. As of right now I can't really come up with anything that reminds me of this story very much. The characters are interesting so far. The writing has told just enough to keep you hooked without really telling you a whole lot about everyone involved. There are definitely a lot of unanswered questions floating around in readers heads. After reading the first issue of Weavers, I am pretty hooked on this series for the time being. I want to know what is going to happen next, and I want to know how they are going to end things. Read Full Review

From a plot perspective, Weavers has a lot going for it, with some interesting twists that successfully merge the supernatural aspects with the more mundane (relatively speaking) ins and outs of organized crime. If it can successfully calm down and let its characters and stories breath more, it could turn into Spurrier's best yet. But as is, even mobsters with spiders in their mouths can only get you so far.

This is ultimately a far breezier book than the intricate supernatural ponderings of Cry Havoc, but doesnt quite reach the close-to-whimsical fantastical overtures of The Spire either. If Spurrier is attempting to occupy all ends of the fantasy spectrum, then this is his entry fired precisely at the centre of it. Thats not to say that its a lesser book than either of its counterparts – but as with both of them, Spurrier just loves taking his time with his world-building, and whilst this issue has its share of delights, its not precisely clear just yet whether itll end up being worth it in the long haul, and it doesnt have quite the same bite (hah!) as Cry Havoc did.  Read Full Review

Being a series limited to six issues, each one is precious in moving the story forward. I think the first issue just barely scratched the surface, but was enough of a wild ride to sell me on sticking with the story. I'm interested to see how the hapless new member, Sid, makes a name for himself or, eventually, harnesses his new-found powers for his own ends. Read Full Review

That being said, this creative is definitely worth giving at least another issue. Supernatural Organized Crime lit has plenty of crappy entries, but Weavers is at worst average"and with the potential to be fantastic. Read Full Review
