    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    May 25, 2022

    Silk has evolved quite a lot over her 36 total issues thus far. Each series has been built on the one before it thoughtfully, nuancedly by every creative team. There's a real sense of continuity for Cindy and her adventures. Robbie Thompson's run on the first few series got her up and running. Maurine Goo's approach for the last series was good. Still, Kim and Miyazawa have a kind of alchemical resonance that could serve Cindy well for the next few series of chance and circumstance allow them the opportunity. Read Full Review

    Another amazing volume of 'Silk' comes to a satisfying but bittersweet conclusion that is high on character and emotion with just enough action to satisfy the needs of a superhero comic book. Marvel needs to finally give Cindy Moon another long-term ongoing series, preferably with this creative team still on board, because the character is wonderful and deserves more than just once-a-year minis.

    Silk #5 ends the arc the way it began with a light, airy ending that fits right in as an Afterschool Special or a Scooby Doo Mystery. The action is fine but safe, the linework is adequate, and the coloring is very good. If you want some light superhero fare for the kids, this is a solid title. If you want hard-hitting drama, look elsewhere. Read Full Review

    This series sails into a nice, smooth wrap-up. Although the antagonist and the plot never really sparkled (despite the last-minute addition of a nifty feminist angle here), Cindy's characterization and dialogue remain solid throughout. So does the art -- it's a very pretty comic from start to finish.

    This miniseries was pretty good. Nothing special, but not bad at all.

    Art, art, art, art still was amazing. Paneling was EXPERT. This series finale lands a bit low though. While the themes are mostly on point and I get why Silk does it, why on EARTH did she not seek help for this "battle". It's an anticlimactic resolution to a promising new villain. Good bye mysterious, Korean witch lady. You left like you arrived: a stranger. Something, something girl power in the past. IDK Until next time, Silk.
