Silk #1 is an excellent example of outside-the-box storytelling paired with superhero antics working very well. Pick this up for the big mystery, but stay for the compelling setup as Silk travels across iconic eras in American history. Read Full Review

Silk #1 sets up a new predicament for the character, serving as a Love Everlasting meets Total Recall kind of story. The art team does a great job in portraying the different settings while the cover art seems like it came completely out of left field. Read Full Review

Writer Emily Kim has a fun premise for this new Silk series, doing a multiverse-style narrative with a twist that hinges on a lack of realism. Read Full Review

An absolute blast that doesn't quite stick the landing Read Full Review

I will say that Silk #1 isnt totally new reader friendly, as it does drop you in the middle of the action without explanation, nor does it explain its overt connection to a prior Silk run that would go over your head if you havent already read that one. But if youre a fan of the Spider-Fam looking to jump into something new, then Silk #1 isnt the worst place to start. Read Full Review

While I enjoyed the noir touches, with a random bit of monster fighting thrown in, the twist didn't do all that much for me as I was expected some kind of multiverse angle to explain a different version of Cindy Moon (and one I'd spend more time with). I'm not sure there's enough here to bring me back every month, especially realizing they'll likely just relaunch the comic in another year or so. Read Full Review

Silk #1 continues from the previous arc with Cindy Moon trapped in a neverending dream. The concept is novel, albeit unoriginal, and the art is strong, but there's nothing in this issue that grabs your attention. Read Full Review

This kicks off with a bold in media res start and some intriguing questions. The "variant Silk" premise is explained perhaps too soon, but it segues nicely into an entirely different mystery--and the variant shenanigans are by no means over. I'm hooked.

It certainly helps that the art is gorgeous. I'm a big Ig Guara fan, and this issue goes straight onto the shortlist of examples I'd use to explain why.

For once, a B-tier character is served well by Marvel's "endless stream of miniseries" format. Emily Kim's second shot at Silk is off to a better start than her last (2022). She's got another good idea for the character, but this time she's tying on firmly to Maurene Goo's series (2021). It looks mighty promising.

This was surprisingly good!

Very fun idea for Silk and a good way to set her apart from the ever gigantic growing world of Spider-people.
But this book got one thing I dislike about comics, ALL THOSE BIG VAST PANELS. Makes it a quick 3 minute read.
Hope Kim and Guara are able to utilize their space a little better.
I really like the plot and characterization.

Although I did read the previous run, I think a "catch-up" or "previously on..." page would have been beneficial here. You're kind of thrown into the story here without any prior knowledge of what's going on. Despite that, this was still an intriguing issue that establishes the mystery for the rest of the miniseries. I think that Guara's art really fit in with the setting presented and I'm interested to see how it works with the more Western theme to come in Issue 2. Hopefully the run picks up some steam with the next issue as well, and I'm hopeful it will with the return of Cindy's "therapist" from the previous series.
