* BigBad: The titular witch is the Manyeo, who's been entombed for centuries in Korea but is now revived in a New York museum. Her LifeDrinker powers restore her youth and inflict RapidAging 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 RitualMagic to [[spoiler:change time, rewriting the world with elements of MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight 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]].

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Songi, the Manyeo, was born with the ability to drain and redirect LifeEnergy. 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.

* RousingSpeech: 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.

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.

''Silk'' (subtitled ''Age of the Witch'' for the collected edition) is a 2022 comic book limited series from Creator/MarvelComics. It's written by Creator/EmilyKim with art by Takeshi Miyazawa and color art by Ian Herring.

Set in the shared Franchise/MarvelUniverse, it stars [[Characters/SilkMarvelComics Cindy Moon]], the titular Characters/{{Silk|MarvelComics}}, a superhero who was bitten by the same radioactive spider as Spider-Man, developing similar powers.

Cindy spent a decade isolated in a bunker, persuaded that her powers would attract other-dimensional predators to the world. Since emerging she's slowly pieced her life back together, reuniting her family and taking a job as a journalist.

Now, however, her life seems to be in a rut. And something or someone uncovered in a ancient South Korean ruin is waking up - and setting its sights on the 21st century.

!!''Silk'' (2022) contains examples of the following tropes:
* DescriptionCut: Cindy tells her therapist 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 life and only dealing with petty crooks as Silk, not supervillains.
* RapidAging: The witch's victims are young people who immediately become elderly and infirm. Thankfully, the that's reversed when her power's broken.
* RecycledTitle: As with Cindy's three previous solo titles, the comic is simply called ''Silk''. The collected editions [[{{Retronym}} add a subtitle]], ''Age of the Witch'', to help disambiguate it.
* {{Retronym}}: The series was originally published as simply ''Silk'' (a RecycledTitle), but became ''Silk: Age of the Witch'' for the collected edition.
