"A bit on the nose" -- yes, exactly. That's what was bugging me about this series.
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!
• A powerful, ancient witch is draining the life force out of young people!
• Silk has to figure out how to stop her before she claims another victim.
• But Silk doesn't know that SHE is the witch's next target!
RATED T+
Cindy has taken a little while to develop a rhythm with her current series, but thats to be expected. A big part of this series has Cindy trying to find herself beyond the mask and the laptop. Kim has the overall rhythm of the series, smartly following Cindys somewhat lost emotional state. The big cliffhanger at issues end swiftly folds into a much bigger look at the nature of youth and life amid a delightful web-slinging action/mystery. Cindys latest series reaches its midpoint with enjoyable style and drama. Read Full Review
‘Silk' is a series that represents how combining slices of life and superhero action can make some of the best comics, allowing characters and a world to feel deeper and more realistic. An energetic and emotional series not afraid to dig into the intricacies of living life in our present-day world. Read Full Review

Silk #3 hits readers with a big reveal about the nature of the witch and her powers. Unfortunately, the witch's methods were easily guessed two issues back and what should be a shocking moment falls flat. Regardless, the art is very good and the pacing is consistent. This issue looks and reads well, even if the story is somewhat forgettable. Read Full Review
This is underrated miniseries.
The plot and themes are laid out in full. There's an admirable consistency and solidity to them; at this point it's clear why everything that's in there is in there. Combined with the still-terrific art, the "sewn-up" nature of the story makes this my favorite issue so far.
But I still have plenty of nits to pick. Mainly, Lordy, this issue is slow at the start. When you hint at your themes and then circle back to confirm the hints, the pace can feel glacial for readers who picked up on the hints the first time.
My favorite about this book is the artwork and the framing.
A great use of space and the panels are so satisfying put together, the book really fills full and lively.
The story is a bit on the nose but it's doing something with the anxieties of getting older and running out of time to find yourself. A late adult-Insecure-type of tale we don't get often in comics. Even if the liberties taken on how people behave and coincidences might be taken a little loosely.
The villain exposition info-dump I also feel could have been handled smoother. Still, this was a fun, decent issue!
I've been reading so many comics recently in an insane attempt to catch up on my backlog, and it seems like every third arc I read has to have an exposition dump right in the middle. It slows the pace of the story considerably, and I will this formula was deviated from more often.
not a bad issue at all.
