Marvel Comics has a few things spinning out from the Spider-Verse event storyline and a new piece has been introduced with the debut of Silk on February 18th, 2015. The new series is set to be ongoing and adds another female toplined book to the growing ranks that Marvel has with Robbie Thompson handling the writing chores and Stacey Lee taking on the artwork. Lee is one of Marvel’s rising artists while Thompson may not be known too much, but he’s one of the writers for Supernatural on The CW.

“Cindy fascinates me,” says series writer Robbie Thompson, in an interview with Marvel.com. “She gave up 10 years of her life and the world moved on without her. What does that do to a person?”
Plot concept: Cindy Moon exploded out of her bunker and into the Marvel Universe in the pages of Amazing Spideer-Man and she never looked back. Bit by the same radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his powers on that fateful day, she’s spent her years locked away in a bunker, safe from the threat of Morlun and the Inheritors. Since then, she’s saved Peter Parker’s life (more than once), fought alongside Spider-Woman, braved the Spider-Verse and more!
Now, Cindy is back in New York City, patrolling it’s rooftops as SILK! And she’s going to make up for lost time. Searching for her past, defining her own future, and webbing wrong-doers along the way. Now is your chance to hop on board one of the slickest new launches of 2015 as SILK #1 swings in to comic shops this February!
