I liked how it showed it happen, without throwing it into our faces. Awesome stuff.
This pretty much describes my thoughts exactly as well! Though a part of me thinks oh they are adding something else to someones origins...and usually those ideas do not work out and are super cheesy..I just find this one intriguing ! I kind of think the Spidy verse needs a female Spider powered character, I known Spider woman is Madam Web..but its just not the same!
In general, it makes me nervous when they add another character with roughly the same power set as I feel it typically diminishes the original character but I'm willing to give this one a shot because I just really want to read Spider-Man comics again. I hope Slott does well with the story/character.
I suppose the big question will be where the heck has she been for 13 years, and why reveal herself now? There's also the question of webbing - she's unlikely to have her own web shooters unless she's samrt enough or pinched some, or Mr Stone paid her a visit as well. I mean Morlun is coming back after all.
Re: powers,I'm guessing she's going to have some new tricks and some in common with Peter. At least I hope so.
There's no real other way to say... MEH.
Even though her origin is kind of a gray area, I'm open the the idea of a new Spider-like rogue.
just wanted to bump this thread to see what people are thinking so far??? i know not much has been shown but are you intrigued? hopeful?
I'm intrigued certainly and I am hopeful that they can make her an interesting character conquestcomics.
But as you yourself said we don't know much about her yet.
I am looking forward to the Silk story. I hope it lives up to its potential...you can't have enough spider-people.
Stay Calm. Carry Guns.
uh, so who is Silk, why should we care? How did she get her abilities from an already dead spider?
