Product Description:
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! Collects Spider-Man Noir #1-4.

Now this is everything a comic should be. Everything from the pacing to the artwork is amazing in this premiere hardcover of Spider-Man: Noir. Noir is defined as: crime fiction featuring hard-boiled cynical characters and bleak sleazy settings, and that is exactly what this comic provides. The new character design deserves immense praise. They stay true to many of the classic chacters while giving them a new feel, leaving them easy recognizable. But what is good visual character design without the ... Read More

I am a bit surprised at the enthusiasm for this book and the disdain shown towards the one critical review.
Quite frankly, this book is horribly written, and that is its only main flaw.
If the likes of Watchmen, TDKR, Sandman, etc. warrant 5 star reviews, this pushes a 3, and only at its best moments.
The writing is horrid. The transitions used scream of "amateur-hour". We get transitions such as one character wondering "Who could (he) trust?". The very next ... Read More

I think that, given that superheroes started in the Great Depression, now would be a wonderful time to set more stories then. Maybe it could illuminate the feelings people are having now, with all the stories of corruption, runaway capitalism, job losses, fear, and so on. This story tries that, and does a pretty good job of it. It's pretty well written, although it could have used more space to develop the ideas and characters, the art was really good and overall it was an interesting take on familiar ... Read More

Peter Parker, and Aunty May are probably among the most working class of an American comic book family. It makes sense that in this re-imaging that Aunty May would be an agitator for Socialism. In what I thought was a wonderful story of a broken America during Hoover's Great Depression we are treated to a new Spider-Man who is embittered by his life experiences and the treatment of his family at the hands of the political, corporate, and criminal elite.
I really enjoyed the story, and the ... Read More

Absolutely loved this book. My only complaint is that it was short but I guess I'll have to settle for the rest of the marvel noir line. They take the core of the spider man story and transplant it not just into the thirties but into the real world. The only science fiction element that remains is peter getting spider powers. Though he gets powers, just as I imagine it would be in the real world, a gun still proves a useful tool to him while taking on gangsters. I hope that they follow this up soon.
