DATELINE 1933! After months of fruitless efforts, the Nazis have discovered an ancient evil in one of their dig sites on the other side of the world. After a friend of a friend is murdered, SCRAPPY YOUNG REPORTER and rookie gumshoe PETER PARKER finds himself torn from his borough and thrust into the action! Unsure of who he can trust, our hero quickly finds himself on A GLOBE-TROTTING ADVENTURE, encountering friend and foe alike – some of whom may even bear a passing resemblances to familiar faces from the Marvel Universe!
The creative team on Spider-Man Noir #2 give us a brilliant and fascinating take on the old web-slinger. This Peter Parker is no kid, but he is new to being a world traveler. It's like Spider-Man meets Indiana Jones, but through a darker lens, and it is wonderful. Read Full Review
I am not sure if I am 100% sold on the story in Spider-Man Noir #2. It is interesting and fun, but that middle part really took me out of the issue. It is also not super captivating, but an interesting mystery at the same time. Maybe if I could remember the first issue it would have helped get me into the story more. The real show-stopper is the art. Juan Ferreyra continues to impress me with everything he does. Spider-Man Noir #2 is a visual treat that you really should not miss! Even if you didn't know what Spider-Man Noir is, I think just looking at this book would sell you on it. Read Full Review
Spider-Man Noir #2 offers up a minimal serving of substance that arrives with bags of style. The script has some sharp back-and-forth banter to offer even if it doesn't have a lot of answers, and the words are thrown well into the background by the marvellously shady art. This series may get bigger and better in future issues, and the journey so far is very easy on the eyes. Read Full Review
At the end of this issue, the "Noir-verse" expand just a little further and this mini-series continues to be a solid ride. Read Full Review
Spidey-Noir makes his way to Berlin, dodging thugs at every step (and losing the Cicada Stone, whoops). There's a nice fast pace, but the dialogue is verbose and cliched and the mystery plot is a bit too mysterious. It sure does look pretty, though!
The story is alright. Its nothing special but its its decent. The real treat is the art. There might not be better art in a marvel book right now than this.
Last issue, I was pretty bummed out by the change in Spider-Man Noir's characterization. I have to say with this second issue that that blow has softened a bit, through an fun but admittedly played out style. It's not great, but it's a good time.
Well, the 1st issue was promising, but now I see kinda boring detective... It's something like DC Batman, but much worse. Second issue does almost nothing for the story, but they introduced noir Electro... which is very weird.
It's still not a bad comic book, but I need something better.
Boy they really went hard on that noir dialogue!
