    Silk #5 provides engaging ideas that seem to make Albert the protagonist rather than Silk. Read Full Review

    Silk fans will certainly find something fun here, but this series is more built on the dream pitch rather than telling a fun Silk story, whose presence often felt ancillary. Read Full Review

    Fun/goofy Silk run.

    I feel like overall this arc was very mixed.

    Somethings I like was a creative and humiliating way to defeat Saya. Kind of sidelines that villain for a while though, so I hope that means in the future a deepening of Silks rouge gallery. Could use some new and unique characters.

    Art was ok, not good not bad.

    The brother stuff left me mixed. I do like the message that it was trying to send, and it felt like the story had good bones, but it just never really clicked for me. I might have got close, but never went above good/decent.

    The bad was that this all felt kind of meaningless. Like a story that was mostly about Silks brother, and was a fun tale but I dont see how this fits into anything else. more

    And so the arc closes.
    Some fun ideas half baked into a disappointing adventure.
    Silk honestly deserves better storyarcs.
    This coulda been an email.
