Pale Little Spider: Rucka continues to poke and prod at the concept of identity, experimenting on a woman who lacks an identity of her own. This is a chilling story that explores that nastier side of the human psyche, and it's got a murder plot to boot. Along with its gritty art from Kordey, Pale Little Spider makes for a haunting read that titillates, disturbs and challenges the audience.

The Black Widow learns about her late father figure's "activities" at the S&M club, and in the process, learns that the only constant in her tumultuous life was not what she thought it was. Meanwhile, Maks, the Moscow detective who was forced off the murder case, continues to investigate, and he pays the club another visit and gets a clearer idea of the sort of thing that goes on there.

At first, you can't even tell that the cover isn't a straight-out photograph; Horn's work is stunning. But it's Kordey's rough-around-the-edges style that really nails the atmosphere of this story. He conveys the title character's confusion, anger and apprehension with crystal clarity, and the neon darkness of the S&M club is shockingly vivid.

There's a powerful scene that demonstrates just how the name "Black Widow" has made the transition from the super-hero genre to espionage. When Maks, the Moscow cop, learns of who usurped his case, there's real fear. The Black Widow isn't just a spy; the name has become legend, something to be feared. It was a great scene.

The real key to this book's strength, though, lies in the mind of Yelena. She plays the role of both submissive and dominatrix here, feeling uncomfortable in both. She doesn't know who she is. The only aspect of her life that she could depend on was her relationship with the Colonel, and that's shattered. The only identity she had has been taken from her.
