Helen Chen is to Cindy Moon as Sara Pichelli is to Miles Morales:
She defined the character so beautifully it's hard to see her drawn any other way. A couple of the later artists were also great in their own way...especially Stacy Lee.
I just couldn't help wishing Marvel had been able to keep Helen throughout the entire solo run.
I would argue Stacey Lee is more accurate comparison to Sara Pichelli, since she drew the first arc and defined the overall look for Silk and her whole world, and did such a wonderful job with it.
Helen Chen only ever did the covers, and that was starting in v2, but they were still so wonderfully vibrant and expressive (no surprise she's a Disney animator/storyboard artist).
These are the artists for the book and what issues they did: Stacey Lee (v1 #1-6, v2 #1, 9), Tana Ford (v1 #7, v2 #2-3, 6-8, 10-13, 18-19), Veronica Fish (v2 #4-5), and Irene Strychalski (v2 #14-17).
Fish and Strychalski kept up Lee's style and did a really nice job with their work, Ford I didn't think it was bad, just the way she drew expressions didn't appeal to me as much as the others.
Robbie Thompson, writer of Silk and Spider-Man/Deadpool, has gone over to the other side. He's the new co-writer on Teen Titans. Cindy may have just lost one of her greatest champions...

It doesn't seem like Marvel has much work for him as of late, so...
It is now solely up to Pak to write the adventures of Cindy replacing Amadeus' actual sister. (Let them fight.)
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Yeah, when I said Thompson was ONE OF her greatest champions, Pak is exactly who else I had in mind.

I’m really not a Slott fan, and I don’t like his other peripheral heroes he introduced in the Spidey book like Alpha. But I appreciate Silk. How many female Asian superheroes are there in the MU? Can’t be a lot. And her series was written quite well. The only thing I didn’t like was that whole hormonal drive that she and Peter had to bang each other. That was kinda gross and stupid.
