THE COLD CASE GETS HOT! The investigation into the death of George Stacy heats up, and Peter figures out the murderer's identity! Gwen Stacy isn't going to like it! But in the meantime, meet the newest Spider-Man Noir rogue - HARD BOIL!
I really enjoyed this issue and thought the first meeting between Spider-Man and Hard Boil was handled brilliantly. I loved how their fight ends with Spider-Man being punched so hard he's launched onto the roof of a skyscraper, only to be helped out by a gang of sharp-witted 1930s street kids. The whole sequence instantly put me in mind of the old black-and-white films my late father used to watch, like Angels With Dirty Faces and Going My Way, where the protagonist always seemed to know a group of cheeky neighbourhood kids who'd lend a hand at just the right moment. It's a charming little nod to that era, and it fits the tone of Spider-Man Noir perfectly. Read Full Review
I hope that the next issue will continue the story with Gwen and Spider-Man Noir. I want to see their relationship either bloom, or, maybe something else happens. I want the third issue to also give me a variety of surprises, just like it did for this issue. Read Full Review
Spider-Man Noir #2 is another energetic, quippy and edgy Spider-Man adventure for fans who enjoy a solid dose of crime fiction with their superheroes. The stunning art only adds to the story's success. Read Full Review
Broccardo delivers beautifully detailed and visually impressive art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of this series and the character designs are fantastic. Read Full Review
Spider-Man Noir #2 tries to serve up a hard-boiled mystery, a love story, and a history lesson, but the ingredients never gel. Art punches above its weight, draping misfires in moody charm, yet the botched script and clumsy messaging make this issue a poor investment of time for anyone seeking genuine suspense or sharp wit. If your comic budget is tight, keep moving. There are better stories lurking down the alley. Read Full Review
