No se porque este tipo de historias de superheroes que se presentan en un estilo distinto (en este caso Noir) no me convence. Debe ser que no me acostumbro a sacar a los personajes de sus origenes clasicos, o que este aburrido que traten de expandir al maximo con ideas pocos originales las aventuras de los personajes. En todo caso este comic es uno de eso que pasan y no dejan nada para el recuerdo.

Ben Urich is a reporter for the Daily Bugle, trying to uncover what is going on with Norman Osbourne. He takes teenager Peter Parker under his wing, who eventually is bitten by the spider. Ben is murdered, and it is up to Peter to finish what Ben started out to do. Spider-Man Noir is a gritty take on the web-slinging hero. It is much more like I am reading a dark Batman comic then a lighthearted Parker piece. The twists in this are spectacular, along with the amazing cast of characters.

It was really hard for me to imagine the Into the Spider-Verse Nicolas Cage-voiced character as the same one shown here, in Spider-Man Noir. I honestly thought Ben Urich felt more like the character Cage was playing (obviously he wasn't).
This was a decent introduction to a unique version of the popular Marvel character, placing him in the 1930s with a unique voice. Funny to see some classic characters (especially the Enforcers) in this new noir style, but the story wasn't interesting enough (to me) to continue with future volumes.

A cool take on Spider Man. Not derivative with just the right amount of familiarity.

Good story and reinterpretation of spiderman. The only criticism i have is that it ended way too soon, it stopped right when the last bad guy hit the floor literally. y
Good story, the only criticism I have I'd that it ended way too soon, literally when the fast bad guy hit the floor.

If John Steinbeck wrote a Spider-man comic, it would be this. Aunt May and Uncle Ben preach socialism, Peter Parker seethes at the injustice of the Great Depression and the corrupt ruling class and then along comes a spider.
This was a fun alternative Universe. In some of the other reviews, this was compared unfavorably to 1602 which blows my mind. This book works better and that's because it has the easier task - it only tells a story in a small pocket of the Marvel Universe and 1602 dealt with all of Marvel.
If you're a Spider-man completist, fan of 1930s stories or alternate universes, this is for you. Fun story, great art.

"The long cold winter has finally ended. The goblin and his cronies are dead or in custody. Roosevelt is in the white house, and J. Jonah Jameson is once more sounding the clarion call for liberty and equality from every newsstand in the city. It looks like nothing but good times ahead. Even so, Aunt May is still on her soapbox, still fighting for the rights of the common people. She knows there are still bad guys out there. The monsters are always with us. But that's okay because there will always be good guys too. And in the end, when all's said and done: good guys always win" honestly wasn't expecting a communist spider-man story but it was great. no notes.
