Silk (2015) #1 by Dave Johnson, Ian Herring, Robbie Thompson, Stacey Lee
4.0
Read this for my first Ladies Comic Book Club meeting 7/20/16, which was at a winery! And with a really fun group of nerdy ladies!
I liked this Silk comic. It was a lot of information thrown at you very quickly, and I think I may have enjoyed it more if I knew more about the universe overall, and also about the other Spider characters, more than just the Spiderman movies.
Also, this was a volume that was 7 issues, and there were 3 artists across those 7 issues. I REALLY didn't like when the artist changed, because it felt like a different representation entirely. The first time there was a switch, I strongly disliked the style and also felt like Cindy was much more sexualized. The second switch I wasn't in love with but was better than the first.
As much as I enjoyed reading the story of Cindy Moon and even more so loved discussing it, I'm not sure if I will continue her story. I have this weird feeling that if I allow myself to like a comic too much then I will get sucked in and suddenly have to spend a bunch of money and it will be falling down the rabbit hole. Maybe that's pessimistic, but I feel that way, and I'm both tempted and hesitant to become obsessed this way.... (probably will happen with Saga, September's book)
