Finished reading Silk: The Live and Times of Cindy Moon, spinning out of the Amazing Spider-Man series where Silk had prominent role during the Spider-Verse event. The book opens up with Silk in a fight with a new super villain calling himself Dragonclaw when Silk looks to be in danger Spider-Man shows up to help as Dragonclaw flys away. After the fight Cindy heads to work at the Fact news channel where she's interning in hopes to use the networks facilities to help her find out what happened to her family when she got locked in the bunker that she lived in for several years. After getting into a second fight with Dragonclaw, Black Cat pays a repairman to upgrade Dragonclaw's suit along with building her a team of tech henchmen to take on Silk. The final story in the book ties into the events of Time Runs Out and Secret Wars as the world is on the brink of destruction J Jonah Jameson comes to Cindy with information of someone using her brother's name which prompts Cindy to use her last moments to find the mans last know location while helping people along the way. Overall this was a good book as it dives into Silks background as Cindy try's to find her family in the present while the book flashbacks to before she went into the bunker to show what Cindy's life was like and how the discovery of her powers affected her family. The amount of character development that Dragonclaw gets throughout the book is great as writer Robbie Thompson is able to dive into the home life of the villain and showing what drives him to continue his work with Black Cat by showing how his job affects his daughter. The artwork is good as it works well for the books tone while the colours help to differentiate between the flashbacks which are mostly in black and white while the rest of the book is fully coloured with mostly blight toned colours. 7/10.
