Silk #5

The cover of Silk #5 says it all: Spider-Man leans forward with a firm "Freeze!" while Silk stands ready at his side — and Black Cat, arms crossed at the bottom of the image, answers with a perfectly deadpan "nope." Dave Johnson's cover design frames the three figures inside a bold blue spider-leg motif, balancing tension with a dry humor that gives Robbie Thompson, Stacey Lee, and Ian Herring's 2015 series a personality all its own. If you've been enjoying Cindy Moon's adventures, this issue's lineup of characters promises the kind of fun, high-stakes dynamic that makes Silk such a distinctive corner of the Marvel universe.
