![]() Though this could go a few ways, its viable outcomes range from a Web-inspired connection to a deadly trick. Per comic book tradition, the book ends with a cliffhanger: a fierce liplock between Spidey and Silk. However, by the end of the issue, Slott too falls into a tired trope particular to Spider-Man. Further, his posturing - including an out-of-place sexy hairflip and full-lipped pout - and point of view make for some uncomfortable reading experiences I found myself turning pages quickly to spare myself the judgment of over-the-shoulder readers. Of course, outfits of this variety can be appropriate depending on the character, but here Ramos slaps it on a character that seems too youthful and inexperienced. Likewise, her costume - while awesome in theory - is needlessly revealing, falling into that outdated leotard-inspired look. ![]() Slott pens her as almost childlike with a quick temper, boundless enthusiasm, and an apparent ignorance of how much time has passed Ramos, on the other hand, plays heavily to the male gaze, dressing her in Daisy Dukes and a tank top that's entirely too small while providing gratuitous cleavage shots. ![]() So far as her character development goes, Slott and Ramos seem to be almost at odds. Although only half the issue focuses on Silk, her existence is certainly the focal point of the story. ![]()
