Silk Appreciation 2023

[Huntsman Spider]

I didn't mind the idea but it was another dud like Ultimatum.

Multiverse of Madness had the best take on Variants and having Silk go up against the TVA could be fun.

I think you could explore who she would be if she hadn't been imprisoned for a decade.

Yeah, like if that latest issue of Spider-Man by Dan Slott was told from her point of view?

Spiders just can't seem to get away from the multiverse...

Spiders just can't seem to get away from the multiverse...

The X-men can't have all the fun.

Spiders just can't seem to get away from the multiverse...

It's been a thing since at least the series finale of the 90s cartoon, and I still contend that was the best multiverse-related Spider-Man story overall, because it kept to exploring the heart and core of Spider-Man/Peter Parker, using the multiverse as a device to show Peter two different versions of what his life could have been and give him an appreciation for the life he did have, as he admitted to Stan "The Man" Lee himself at the very end of that episode. It's just a shame that the other part of that message --- "Well, Stan, we all have to grow up sometime, I suppose, even us characters of fiction" --- has been thoroughly ignored and trampled since then by later/more recent writers/editorial.

So what is her current hair length again...

[Digifiend]

Artists are always inconsistent with that. It's shoulder length in Spider-Man. I think it's supposed to be not as long as when she debuted, but still longer than when she first bobbed herself while fighting Black Cat shortly before Secret Wars.

Thanks for sharing. This ought to be interesting, at least.

If the Prime series ever gets off the ground I'd like to see a Silk Omnibus as an adjacent cross promotion happen.
Or insert reason ___________ to get a Silk Omnibus

ASM #1 & 4 from 2014
2015 ongoing, volume 1, 7 issues
2016 ongoing, volume 2, 19 issues
2021 mini-series, volume 3, 5 issues
2022 mini-series, volume 4, 5 issues

Cover option 1

That alone would be 38 issues. No doubt other ASM issues could pad that out. Not sure which ones I'd pick, thoughts?
I'd leave any appearances in Ghost Spider or Agents of Atlas for collections of those titles.
I think her Out of the Spider-verse mini is collected in that event Omni so I'd not want to double dip on that.

Silk karaoke! I want it! Still crossing my fingers for a Silk Omnibus to be announced someday!

You'd need to include the Spider-Woman and Spider-Gwen issues from the Spider-Women event, otherwise that's two issues of Silk that would have to be excluded. There's also a 2023 mini series to include. I agree about omitting Agents of Atlas though. Including that would be like doing an Iron Man omnibus, but half of it is issues of Avengers.

With all of these YouTube channels showcasing AI art featuring Asian females, I'm surprised no one has made a Silk-focused AI art video yet. There are a few AI art videos on YouTube of Asian females in Spider-Man outfits, but none of them are dressed as Silk. It seems like a no-brainer and a missed opportunity to me.

Sorry, Silk isn't popular enough (yet, perhaps if they feature her outside of the comic books) for that. Outside of North American Comic Book fans, most people don't know she exists.
