Silk #3: Where's Stacey Lee!?

[Von]

I'm a huge Silk fan. See my avatar? Yeah Cindy's my girl lately. But here are some reasons why ..

I started this issue thinking 'Oh noez! Where's Stacey Lee!?" - because Stacey Lee is like
the peanut butter to Robbie Thompson's killer characterization and fun unpredictable plotting jelly.

This new artist - I almost felt bad wishing Stacey was back, but as the issue wore on Tana Ford's
unique style grew on me, its reminiscent of Adrien Alphona's work on Ms Marvel: kinda
dorky but it can also fit with this kind of story, enjoyed it immensely.

The banter with Shrike was classic "If I had to wear my hair in a ponytail that high all the time I'd
hate everybody too", and other gems of dialogue make this book month after month.

Also, the scenes with her friends and the therapist get deep into what makes her tick, I like this
girl more and more all the time. She's more than a bit awkward at times because of the bunker isolation,
but has nerves of steel and cajones bordering on reckless, and you can feel her struggle
wanting to come out of her shell vs her instincts to retreat back where she didn't have to
deal with anyone.

She is definitely more markedly her own person vs Gwen and Jenn with every issue. Thompson
handles her with complexity and depth. And even Ditko took breaks from the original Stan Lee run,
I'm just unreasonably attached to how I'm used to seeing her drawn!

Tana grew on me too. I'll be ok with her being the occasional fill-in.
"Never change Jonah". My personal fav from this issue.

That was my favorite too! I have to admit, I picked up Silk because of the upcoming Spider-Women crossover (I love me some Jessica Drew so picking up her book was a no brainer). I've found that I relate to Cindy on so many levels it's not even funny. Love this book and will be keeping it on my pull list for some time.

Were you locked away in a bunker for a decade also?

lol, I love the dynamics reversal:

Peter works for Jonah and perpetually cant do anything right in his eyes, neither can Spider-man.

Cindy works for Jonah and - while she deals with his narcissistic personality also - in the end, she cant do
anything wrong in his eyes. And neither can Silk.

A bit on the nose sure, but its refreshing after 50 years of Jonah's one track mind. Also, the scene a
while back when she revealed to him that she was searching for her family, and he decided to help
her was touching.

He's really not that bad. Except when he is ..

Yep I love the 'Analog' moments.

Reminds of the time where Johan was humanize through another Spider-Woman in Alias.
