Plot Summary
Cindy Moon was hidden from the world for years—until she emerged with the same spider powers as Spider-Man, from the very same spider bite. Now navigating life in New York City, Cindy adopts the name Silk and begins searching for the family she lost. Her journey isn’t easy. As she builds a new life, works for J. Jonah Jameson, and even dates Johnny Storm, she draws the attention of the criminal underworld.
Silk’s actions catch the eye—and wrath—of Black Cat, who sees her as a threat to her empire. When Felicia strikes back, Cindy hits rock bottom. But heroes rise from the ashes, and with help from Spider-Man, she fights back. Along the way, she unravels buried truths about her family and discovers the strength of forging her own path.
