If Marvel sends MJ to “Sleep With The Fish” that will make me even more angry then OMD, the original Silk story and The Other did. There is no form of entertainment that is worth being placed in a bad mood, which was the primary ( although not the only) reason I dropped Spider-Man after Silk years ago. I would not even vent about it here, I would simply go away quietly and move on: I have the Steelers and Islanders hockey starts in January followed by Yankee baseball. I do not need stuff that I know I will not like ( like more Cindy, a never ending OMD and ( especially) No MJ).

Silk was an instant success, because she is a Korean Spider-Woman with a great design (once it was tweaked and finished.) She only exists because Alonso wanted a Spider-Man thing for Original Sin, so Slott made her up and then jammed her into the book for a bit before dropping her when she got a solo. You are far more interested in Silk than Slott ever was.

I mean, Felicia isn't even a case of the original version being bad, a better example would be Kaine.
That the one she constantly compared with a pokemon?
That looks good.
Solicits about ASM#60 talk like she's still alive, but then again, wouldn't be the first time those lied...
Snoop Dogg: Those comments were not mine ( I have no idea ( nor did I ever think for a second Silk was a Slott teenage fantasy)). As for Silk, she was not an instant success. Most Spider-Man fans do not care for her ( her original arc was as close to a Hard R Rating as Spider-Man ever got), and the only reason she is still around is she is Asian, and there is a huge untapped market for an Asian character ( especially in foreign markets ( Why foreign? for some reason Asian women ( even well known stars like Maggie Q or Lucy Liu do not make it on the level of other minority actresses like Elza Gonzalez or Salma Hayak ( my personal favorite actress). The problem is except for the diversity angle, she (unlike other minority characters like Miles) brings absolutely nothing positive to the table.
Silk hopefully gets some screen time animation and or live action. Hopefully she cameos in ITSV2.
also Gwen and Miles had lots of animation even before ITSV, which helps a lot.
Silk I would say was more popular when she came out.
I certainly think Silk with her origin of being isolated for yrs brings a unique experience compared to other spiders.
Her moral compass not so defined. She being not so sure of herself, gives her a distinct quirkiness.
Man, are you out of date. Yes, she's working for Jonah - just like she did in Thompson's run. But not at the Bugle. Last time, it was the Fact Channel, this time it's a website called Threats and Menaces.
And Peter, by the way, no longer works for the Bugle either, he's currently studying and working at Empire State University.

It's the opposite. Announced as ongoing, now a mini! Unless they made the same mistake as the Champions #1 resolicit (which said "of 5" even though later issues didn't).

marvel can't decide what an ongoing is and can't get monthly books out every month so just buy what you like however long it exists
