 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.
