Weavers #6

Weavers, Issue #6 concludes the series, which I've greatly enjoyed.  It's a mystery, and it's horror.  It's conspiratorial, and it's spooky.  The main character, Sid Thyme, is a former drug addict who gets mixed up in a supernatural gang called the Weavers or the Spiders.  There are 10 or 20 supernatural spiders that the gang members swallow, and they get powers from those spiders.  They don't use them to solve crime; they use them to create it.  You don't know who Sid's going to end up in bed with, the boss's daughter - Frankie - or the boss's lover - Pneema, but he ends up in bed with someone following the inevitable fall of the boss.

I really think that Weavers is Simon Spurrier's best work, and that it's one of the best five- or six-issue stories I've read in the past year, along with Tet by Paul Allor.  The art by Dylan Burnett is very evocative, and I love the color combinations of colorist, Triona Farrell, particularly the red with the dark-blue-green.  This color combination is used throughout the series, and it's featured prominently on the cover of this issue.
