As a teenager, Cindy Moon was bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker giving her similar powers such as spidey sense, powers of adhesion, and the ability to weave webs from her fingertips. To protect Earth from a deadly family of spider-hunters and murderers called the inheritors, Cindy Moon was locked up in a bunker that prevented them from sensing her presence. Spider-Man opened the bunker, unaware of the danger that revealing Cindy's existence could cause, and set the events of the Spider-Verse in motion. After fighting side-by-side with countless other spiders against the inheritors and saving the world, Cindy is now back in New York, fighting crime and trying to find her family in a world she hasn't lived in for years.
The comic opens with Cindy being attacked by a Pokemon-like dressed villain named Dragonclaw. She takes her video from their encounter and uses them for her job as an intern at Fact Channel where she works for J. Jonah Jameson who likes Silk and gives Cindy the nickname Analog for using a notebook and pen which he likes.
Cindy helps her roommate find love and then the girl practically moves in so Cindy decides to move out and go back to the bunker where she spent ten years of her life and stay there for a while. If nothing else it's quiet. She's been having trouble with dealing with hearing people's cries for help when the help most often is nothing they need help with.
Dragonclaw has gone to Black Cat who has sent him to a mysterious man who helps him become more of a dragon with the weaponry and he comes back after Silk. But things don't go as planned and Silk convinces him to turn his life around which does not make Black Cat happy. But someone else is watching Cindy and someone else wants her for their own reasons. Sometimes it's not good to be wanted. With help from Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four, Cindy must fight off Black Cat and the other bad guys. On top of which something catastrophic is happening to Earth. Cindy is an interesting character. She suffers from anxiety and a bit of PTSD from staying in the bunker for ten years with a man who was supposed to be on her side. All that's left of him are videos in the bunker he left for her. She still manages to be tough and believes in redeeming the bad guys if she can rather than sending them to jail. She's on J. Jonah Jameson's good side, which I didn't know he had one. Don't worry, he hasn't gone soft--just develops a soft spot for Cindy. She may feel the need to spend most of her time alone, but there are lots of people who care about her. She brings that out in people. But she also has steel inside her that drives her to find her family and fight crime and move forward with her life. This book was a good start in her life and her career as a superhero. I give it four out of five stars.
