Spider Man Noir
Comic Summary: Written by DAVID HINE & FABRICE SAPOLSKY Art by CARMINE DI GIANDOMENICO Cover by PATRICK ZIRCHER Variant Cover by DENNIS CALERO With great power, there must also come great responsibility - and when those in power abuse it, it's the people's responsibility to remove them. The year is 1933, and New York City is not-so-secretly run by corrupt politicians, crooked cops, big businesses…and suave gangland bosses like New York's worst, the Goblin. But when a fateful spider-bite gives the young rabble-rouser Peter Parker the power to fight the mobster who killed his Uncle Ben, will even that be enough? It's a tangled web of Great Depression pulp, with familiar faces like you've never seen them before! By 'Hardboiled' David Hine, Fabrice 'The Spider' Sapolsky and Carmine 'Carbine' Di Giandomenico! 32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

I usually really like just about anything Spider-Man, but the first issue of “Noir” gave me no reason whatsoever to pick up the rest of the series. The whole issue was from a supporting cast memebers eyes. Hardly any Spidey at all. His actions in his only appearance didn’t even make any sence at this point in the story.

If you thought this would be a origin story or a straight Spidey translation into a different time period, I think you’ll be disappointed. If you’re willing to be open to some re-imagining of one of your favorite books, then this one is for you. So far, we’ve had but a glimpse of the webslinger. The attention really is on the other aspects of his world. Many familiar characters are around. This is a fun period piece. The vital core of each person is retained, but they get a deft re-insertion into the 1930’s time setting (Norm Osborne isn’t a techno-corporate emperor, he’s a “machine” boss). Peter Parker is front and center, but so far, we’re not sure how his Spider persona is going to work into all of this. I think the anticipation is part of the fun. With a piece like this, I think there’s no avoiding an issue (or two) to set up the story itself (and I didn’t think this was a boring bit of brick-laying). The artwork is great. Don’t know that I’m competent enough to give a meaningful critique, but it was rich enough to draw me in and slow me down as I read. Overall, this was a definite recommend for me.
