•IT'S THE SPIDER TEAM-UP OF THE CENTURY TO TAKE DOWN THE BLACK CAT!
• Silk and Spider-Man, together in one book (no, not together. Calm down.)
Rated T
Once again Silk proves to be the best of the new wave of Spider-Women (though Spider-Woman and Spider-Gwen are not really lacking). She combines a youthful charm into the same superheroics that is common throughout the remainder of the Marvel Universe. So many years ago, Spider-Man re-established the comic book universe by being a wise cracking young superhero, and now Silk is doing the same thing, only with a female voice. Perhaps no other series better captures this new wave of young female superheroes than does this series, even if it is among the less popular of these series. This issue captured what is special about this character both in terms of plot and in terms of characterization, and proves that Cindy should be here to stay. Read Full Review
Silkhas it all: deep character development, beautifully detailed art, and a hero we want to see win. Cindy is an especially earnest character. She's not experienced at being a superhero like Jessica Drew, or a natural go-getter like Kate Bishop. Robbie Thompson uses this issue to show Cindy's sympathy for those who've been traumatized like she was. If you're looking for a story that is as thoughtful as it is entertaining, this is it.

Silk #5brings an end to Cindy Moon's latest adventure while showcasing everything that makes the character so appealing. The letters page hints that Silk will make a return, and whether it's this creative team or a different one, I'm ready to see more of Cindy's adventures in the Marvel Universe. Read Full Review
Silk #5 isn't groundbreaking, revolutionary, or a masterpiece, but it is what superhero comic book storytelling can do the best... tell a fun story through snappy dialogue and smart visuals. Read Full Review
Overall, Silk continues to be a solid series so far. While a bit slow in this issue, my hopes for this series is still at an all-time high. Here's hoping this next issue knocks it out of the ballpark. Read Full Review
This book has insane character development, in scenarios that some of us know all too well. Cindy isn’t a seasoned superhero or veteran crime fighter, either. She’s just a girl who got bitten by a spider, and now she’s making the most of it. She also has a special place in her heart for kids who have been in the same situation as her growing up. Overall, this issue is one that is very character-driven, and shows a lot of who Silk really is. This is definitely one to keep your eye on. Read Full Review
Couple all of that with some rushed art, and this issue is just a tad bit underwhelming. There is so much character and history to explore with Silk, but Thompson doesn't seem to want to do any of it.He's far more interested in this flimsy face-off between Silk and Black Cat, and that's one of the least interesting parts of the Silk comic.

Its nice to have Stacey Lee back as artist. I really enjoy the way she draws this book. Jonah gives Cindy a little help with finding her parents. I always like to see him show a little heart every once in a while. The conflict with Black Cat is alright but the team up with Spider-Man is fairly entertaining.
Very glad Stacey Lee was back with the art. Story is really well handled a great break out book so far.
