Rapid Aging

comment
Rapid Aging: The witch's victims are young people who immediately become elderly and infirm. Thankfully, that's reversed when her power's broken.

Then Let Me Be Evil
 Silk (2022) (Comic Book) / int_3d455888
comment
Then Let Me Be Evil: Songi, the Manyeo, was born with the ability to drain and redirect Life Energy. She initially used it for healing, with volunteers offering energy to help her patients. When she was accused of evil magic despite helping people, she decided she might as well be the person her enemies claimed she was.

comment
Recycled Title: As with Cindy's three previous solo titles, the comic is simply called Silk. The collected editions add a subtitle, Age of the Witch, to help disambiguate it.

comment
The Bus Came Back: Cindy's therapist, Doctor Sinclair, appears in a Silk comic for the first time in over four years (and makes her first appearance in the Marvel Universe for two years, since The Unstoppable Wasp). Sinclair's absence was a plot point in the previous series of Silk.

Big Bad
 Silk (2022) (Comic Book) / int_970c790a
comment
Big Bad: The titular witch is the Manyeo, who's been entombed for centuries in Korea but is now revived in a New York museum. Her Life Drinker powers restore her youth and inflict Rapid Aging on her victims, but she has a much bigger scheme in mind - by targeting famous figures who are adored and respected by their followers, she can tap into "worship energy", store it, and use Ritual Magic to change time, rewriting the world with elements of Make Wrong What Once Went Right and becoming the ruler of the long-gone kingdom of Joseon. Exactly how it would work is unclear, as Cindy interrupts the plan, but it seems to be a case of overwriting the present rather than the Manyeo directly changing the past.

Continuity Nod: When talking to Dr. Sinclair, Cindy mentions that she's no longer having to deal with "cat demons or evil tech geniuses" - the two villains of her last series.

Reduced to Dust: When the Manyeo begins her ritual, Dr. Ferguson is hiding behind a column. Silk warns him to get clear, but he appears to be blasted to ash and crumbles away. Once the ritual's disrupted and the Manyeo's banished, he seems to be alive and well, though.

comment
Rousing Speech: After Threats & Menaces fails to get any footage of the battle at Luna Snow's concert - unlike many of the concertgoers with smartphones - Jonah stands up and gathers the staff for a morale-raising speech about how they need to try harder, but the old ways are best. It's cut short when his knee painfully gives out and he has to sit down again.

comment
Description Cut: Cindy tells her therapist, Doctor Sinclair, that she's been foiling criminal masterminds, living an exciting social life, enjoying her exciting job and exploring the city's great food. The accompanying montage shows that she's bored in her personal and work life, living on junk food, and only dealing with petty crooks as Silk, not supervillains.
