It's also little disappointing that we don't dive back into the family secret issue from before, but an issue like this was probably needed to create some space from the major Clone Conspiracy event that just finished ripping through all the Spider titles. This one will probably read much better in the trade (especially for a meathead like me who wants to see more of Silk/Cindy kicking ass), but it's still a good read on its own, as well.

Cindy confers with friends and family after the Clone Conspiracy makes her question her heroic motivation (again). She decides to accept Mockingbird's offer to join SHIELD. The fact this series ends next issue makes it strong evidence in favor of my theory that "joined up with SHIELD" is the Marvel hero version of "moved to a nice farm upstate." This issue's touchy-feely hug-heavy agenda is nicely suited to Tana Ford's expressive art, but this is a book where the closest we get to an action scene is Cindy fetching a kite out of a tree. Good grief.
