BONUS REVIEW by STEPHEN BANAS
So far this early 1930’s rehashing of Spider-Man’s infant stages has done just enough to keep itself interesting rather than being lost as just another poor origin story. Spider-Man Noir provides a gritty and seedy backdrop to aid the gangster motif that writer David Hine has washed over these familiar characters. Fabrice Sapolsky’s dramatic art style compliments this book fantastically and he really helps capture the emotion you need to keep the story driving. This particular issue lingered for a while, but the last six or seven pages took a strong leap forward and saved it from being a disappointment..
