    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!

    Spider-man Noir is the latest in the Spider-man universes and is perhaps the darkest and grittiest of them all.  It gives a complete spin in the story of the life of young Peter Parker and is absolutely a breath of fresh air from the corny-comical antics of the Spider-man we know and love.  The story is set in 1933 New York, four years after Wall Street crashed and the Great Depression has just began.  We see young, idealistic Peter trying to make sense of the world around him with the death of ...

    Spider-Man stories have ranged from light hearted romps to dark and gruesome tales to just about everything in between. Given that this series is a noir tale, I expected that it would lean towards the darker end of the spectrum, but not nearly as much as it did. The creative team didn't hold back as they re-imagined all of Spidey's normally colorful cast of characters and origins. (Uncle Ben's death is particularly disturbing.)As far as story is concerned, this isn't anything new. Powerful gangs...
