Silk's new costume

Gay

Judging by context clues I'd say that's Silkworm, not Silk.

"meet silkworm!"

obviously this is her sidekick

>>86850002
Yeah, and Silkworm is Silk, they said she's using a new identity to not raise suspicion that Silk and Cindy Moon were in the same place on the west coast.

>>86849974
How's Silk doing sales wise?

Because I have a sneaky feeling without looking at them that this book won't be long for this world

>>86849974
this is horrible

>>86849974
This book has been slowly on the decline, and now they fuck it up by ditching what WAS an amazing costume.

I was hoping Silk could avoid this fate, but now she's gonna get brutally murdered in ASM sooner or later like every other interesting spider-girl.

>>86850040
>create new identity so not to raise suspicion
>have same powers
>toss on ending to original name
That's pretty flimsy.

>>86850042
Bad the only Spider-Man books that do well are ASM, Spider-Man/Deadpool, Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen

A little above 20k. Unfortunate, since this is the best Spider book atm.

Wait what? Did Cindy get outed as silk or something?

>>86849974
Am I the only one who feels that paring her with Peter could've worked if anyone but Slott was writing it?

>>86850183
A lot of Slott's odea could've worked if someone else but Slott was writing them.

>>86850183
Cindy was a mistake from the moment she was pitched at Marvel's staff meeting. Everything about her is bad. Everything. So no, pairing her with Peter would have never worked.

>>86850183
Slott is like Bendis. Good ideas but wonky executions

I see shades of the Dungeon of Doom in this change. Shades of shit.

So she'll have the new name and outfit for an arc at most and then go back to normal?

>>86849974
>>86850035
what the fuck? that's far worse than her existing costume and the name is dumb.

why?

I can't believe how terrible this is. That is a terrible costume. That's a terrible new name. The old one was so good, what the fuck are they thinking?

Could you do everyone a favor and just shut the fuck up? That'd be great.

Why isn't this cancelled yet?
No one cares about Silk besides the ten people who read her storytime.

Thompson was actually doing a decent job of not making Silk fucking shit, too. What happened?

>>86849974
I really like Silk. Pretty fun book, I like the supporting cast, I'm invested in seeing her get back with her family. EVERY one of her crossover stories just breaks the momentum, barely is at all ties into her regular story, and seems rushed as fuck because it's written like shit.

Does Silk need this shit? Is her book doing so poorly that these crossovers are the only thing keeping her afloat?

There are somehow literally a billion unused spider-related names and they name her fucking Silkworm?

>>86850543

Yes, actually. It's just barely skirting the cancellation line.

Tell that to the Power Rangers.

>>86850584

It feels like female Spider characters outnumber the male ones at least 3:1 now.

What was wrong with the Silk's costume? Fuck this shit, I'm reading DC.

That was honestly pretty stupid, but it was at a time when it genuinely did imply something iffy. Nowadays, nobody cares. Hell, nobody cared when Tommy started wearing red.

>>86850762
So? Asian people aren't allowed to look like ninjas either? Also, scarf does not equal ninja. Come on.

>>86849974
I miss the costume made only with webs.

>For privacy's sake, let's call her Lisa S. No, that's too obvious. Let's call her L. Simpson.

>>86850932

I think her eyes might be slightly more recognizable. I remember hearing once that there's a thing with face perception where most of it comes from the upper half of the face.

Besides, having her eyes exposed outs her as Asian, and how many petite Korean women with that haircut and those hips could possibly live in Manhattan?

>>86851069
I meant more in the sense that if anyone does take her picture as this "new" hero with similar powers and abilities AND NAME of Silk. Then they have photos with the top half of her face and the bottom half.

>>86850175
It just sounds like she is using common sense and not having the hero side happen to appear everywhere she is.


>>86850070
Nornally but there are so many with powers similar to hers even not exactly. Especially spider related powers

>>86849974

So wait, is she getting a name change alongside the new costume, or is this a completely seperate character? Because this sounds more like this is a sidekick or antagonist or something.

I see that spiderman himself is very interested in all this.

Oh wait, nevermind. Guess it is a new costume and namechange. The name "silkworm" is dumb as fuck though.

I dislike Silk purely because of her , but the book is pretty enjoyable, so long as she stays as far away as possible from Peter. She tends to get cunt-y.

Also, the artist is pretty damn good too. Anyone have the link to her tumblr?

>>86850232
Have you read her solo? Hard as it is to believe after Slott and Hopeless's shitshow, it's pretty good.

>>86852199

>>86852237
It really is a lot better than I expected.

She should go back to wearing nothing but webs

>>86850042
>How's Silk doing sales wise?

Apparently bad enough to warrant a new suit design to be advertised like this.

No moron it's her new temporary secret identity.

Introduce Silk
Universally despised, especially during Spider verse.

Gets own series under a different writer
Against all odds manged to actually be a fun title and greatly redeems the character.
Constantly in danger of cancellation.

Cindy can't get a break.

>>86852375
That's still no excuse for the costume to look this terrible.

>>86852375
>t's her new temporary secret identity.
Then maybe she should have gone with a better name than "Silkworm." When Spider-man was trying to hide his identity, he went with shit like Dusk, Ricochet, and Prodigey. Not, like, Spider-Dude.

I wish they would stop giving heroes a hero-family. One Spider-man is enough, one Batman is enough. Either keep the one, or pass the title on and the old hero gives it up forever.

Let say I am a hero called General Zumma and I pass my hero title of General Zumma to you. If I wish to come back one day and fight crime I will have to take on a new title. You are now the new General Zumma until you pass it on, retire, or die.

she will probably be in the new spider-man cartoon too

>>86852199

I like that in-her-own-book-Silk is actually pissed off about the whole "pheromones compel me to copulate with this guy" thing. I mean it might be a little unfair to Peter but it's a better character than Cindy just trying to fuck him all the time.

Is she still touted as being Spider-Man but better except slightly weaker? I didn't notice that in the first run, but it's been a while.

>>86851318
It's just temporary. JJJ has her come with him to San Fran or something like that and she can't have Silk conveniently show up in the same city as her despite being a New York hero so she does this

>>86849974

Wow, looks like I know where my jumping off point is for collecting Silk.

>>86854178
That's not an excuse for the costume sucking, though.

>>86854304
To be fair, this is someone who's been locked in solitude for 10 (13 really considering ASM said first the spider bite was 13 years ago). I'm not sure I'd trust the fashion sense of someone like that with designing a costume

>>86854608
Even with cruddy fashion sense as part of the character, the costume can still look good. You just have to make the bad fashion sense look adorable, which is easy.

>>86858467
You are reading a genre where people literally without a mask still have a secret identity
By now you should have learned to just ignore it

So they gave in and gave her a burqa ehhhh

The obsession with "progressive" comics to have a woman show absolutely no skin is hilarious.

http://www.newsarama.com/31412-nycc-16-marvel-retailers-only-panel.html (photos contain new variants and brand new unlettered pages from CC #2 and IvX #1).

I really hope that's a incredibly temporary costume, the reasoning for having another costume and identity is solid (can't make it too obvious that she's silk) but the costume is just bland.

>>86851195
Silk is a temporary character that will be dropped into limbo at the drop of a hat.

>>86856871
I heard, but I still haven't gotten anyone to explain to me what the difference is.
