Spider-man Noir

If you are a real Spidey fan, you probably know his origin story. Or do you?

In “Spider-man Noir” is the year 1933 and New York is a really slum. The criminal underworld is controlled by Norman Osborn, and his mafia. Peter and his aunt May is living under hard circumstances of the mafia, and the police are totally corrupted, and even the media don’t have any real power. After a beating by the Goblin’s muscles, Peter is taken under the wings of Ben Urich. A reporter from Bugles, and Ben is generous by offer him a chance to get a job at the Bugle. Of course the Bugle is even in 1933, ruled by J. Jonah Jameson. With a deep hatred to the mafia (Peter suspects them of been guilty of the death of his Uncle Ben), Peter tries to pick up dirt on the Mafia. A day it’s goes horrible wrong and Peter is bitten by a spider, and get cursed by a spider god. With his new found power, Peter takes on the role as Spider-man, and tries to free New York from the evil Norman “Goblin” Osborn.

“Spider-man Noir” tries to replicate The Amazing Spider-man’s origin in a new age, and it really works. The most amazing is almost how the authors have extracted the familiar foes, and changed them to criminals of 1933. So don’t expect to see Vulture with flying wings, or a high-tech goblin armor, and don’t set your expectation too high to spideys web-shooters, but try to be ready for the experience of a new darker spider-man, who is out for revenge.
