Will you be buying the Silk Ongoing?

[Cameron Samurai]

The core concept is pretty interesting.

It's someone who has been very repressed, essentially imprisoned for a decade, finally able to go out into the wider world with super-powers.

Seen it in plenty of comics and tv shows. Only with a lot less shagging.

her giddyness to shag is apart of what makes the character enjoyable, its a rare trait.

There's also the mystery of her family's disappearance.

Add in that she's a woman of color and there you have it

Buying from day one, will see how it explores the fallout of Spider-Verse before I make it a permanent buy. But I don't hate the character like everyone else seems to.

Reptil had the same missing parents gig. Didn't stop him from getting killed and leaving that plot unresolved. Missing parents is the most basic form of "Mystery to try to make a character interesting"

is that really the right reason to buy a book...because she's Asian?

ALOT of people think so, especially tumblr (not talking about this book in particular, but just enthic character books in general)

that's stupid....you shouldn't flock to a character just because she/he's mexican or asian or whatever you should flock to the character because it makes you want to read more about them

i agree, im just explaining, that said i do find that she is asian appealing visually.

[Chrysalis_Changling]

i seriously gotta look back into the issues because ASM#9 made her seem like a very clingy person that's driven by sexy-spider hormones and for someone that's been locked away for 10 years you gotta assume she's not gonna have much of an opinion on anything or much of a personality beyond "Confused Outcast" in her ongoing

just what difference does it make that she missed crap like AVX And Civil War.....is that ever gonna be relevant? are we gonna reference past events in her book or are we just gonna do stupid things like have her be impressed at things such as the xbox one and ipads...

[UltimateTy]

I just think she can potentially be really interesting. I don't see this hostility towards Spider-Gwen fans whose one shot I thought was really average.

[Chrysalis_Changling]

i understand that but the potential isn't very clear....like what is her main hook? that she's clueless about everything

I think is it that, yes, the Out of Time aspect, but there is also the whole "Spider-Bride" angle that they're doing with Verse. The fallout of that will I think be most of the first arc.

but how good will that concept be when it's put to the test in an ongoing series? she's been gone for 10 years it's not like captain america where even the xbox one and poptarts would freak him out

The rise of the superheroes would be the biggest change. She could be a character who shares a new reader's enthusiasm for the Marvel Universe.

The hook of the series has been explained. A lot will depend on the execution. As far as I'm concerned, it has potential.
