From what I can gather she’s weaker than Spider-Man but also faster, has organic webbing and her silk-sense is so super charged that she’s forced to ignore it a lot due to constant false alarms - most noticeably when Killer Shrike is preparing for his unexpected but totally inevitable betrayal and her silk-sense pings to warn her. However she just ignores it and says she’s getting a blaring feeling that she assumes is coming from the Goblin nation soldiers they’re spying on due to being so used to suppressing it.
Likewise she mentions in issue 1 that she was once woken up in the middle of the night by her silk-sense and forced to swing blocks away only to find a college girl ditched by her friends. A dick move, but she wasn’t in any danger from what Silk gathered.
Like early Peter she also has some issues controlling her strength at times. When she uppercuts a power armored baddie she accidentally propels him to a dumpster clear across the area and she hilariously starts praying that he’s not dead when she goes to check on him.
The question was "how many ongoings Marvel currently has?", not "how many ongoings Marvel currently has that are set in the Marvel Universe?" - and even it was, Conan would still count, as he actually is on Earth-616 (when he came to the present day in Avengers No Road Home, which led into Savage Avengers, that was just time travel). Star Wars wouldn't though.
If I was to list the DC stuff, it would include things like Scooby Doo.

Analog and JJJ are back in business ( too bad it's with a writer that has never written comicbooks - i don't like being experimented on) Maybe she will surprise me.
I kinda wish they expand Silks abilities.
Specially with her ability in making intricate web constructs.
Knowing that she creates her suit out of her webs, changing its color and hardness. They should expand on that.
Both of her solo runs have sucked for the most part. I like the original idea for the character but they instantly turned her into a cookie cutter character with art and writing for 13 yr old girls. But terrible art has become the norm for most Marvel books sadly.
I'm hyped for a new Silk series, but now the coronavirus is occurring at this moment. Silk will have to wait till September or October once the virus is dying off.
Toei would possibly foam at the mouth if they tried to trademark and print an independent EFH comic. Would be dope, though.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
No they wouldn't. Toei Spidey has already appeared in the comics (Spider-Verse and Spider-Geddon) and is planned to appear in the second Spider-Verse movie. Clearly they've done a deal with Marvel about him.

The more recent Spider-Verse miniseries that focused on Miles jumping universes to ultimately save Annie Parker, the Patternmaker of the new/restored Web of Life and Destiny also had Takuya Yamashiro appear in the first and last issues. That said, I'd personally be more hyped for a Kamen Rider THE FIRST/THE NEXT-style relaunch/reboot of Toei Spider-Man, or maybe even an anime like SSSS.Gridman.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Isn't Silk going to be in the next Spiderverse film? If she is, this comic will probably be because of it.
