Marvel Noir: Why Didn't They Do This Sooner?

Me Too!

This is Spider-Man

And Cyclops

And Rogue

And some Cajun faggot

IGN article about Spider-Man Noir

Basically it's set around the Great Depression, and is more of a 1602 than a What If story
X-Men and Spider-Man start in December, Daredevil in January, and Wolverine later in '09
I've heard some murmurings that the names of characters and their powers will be taken more literally
For example, Cyclops is a pilot who lost an eye, Rogue steals people's identities (their lives get it) etc
I'm super pumped for this shit, who's with me?

OP will be updated with more teaser pics as I find them

It should be very cool right? Could they bring the Kingpin in for a series? I know he'll probably figure prominently in DD, but I rather enjoyed the Kingpin series a couple years ago, so I could see him maybe (HOPEFULLY????) getting his own solo series.

Me Too!

No it's just the four minis
But obviously he'll be a big, haha fat joke, part of Daredevil

sportzboytjw

Yea, I imagine he'll play a large role. Seems about right.

Dareth Ram

I'm kind of iffy on this.

Me Too!

That's because you're a faggot
Holy shit I just realized
Spidey isn't holding a gun that's his webshooter

Caveman Paws

I'm curious but I have enough on my comic plate as is and thus looking foreward to additional titles,series,etc is hard. At least for my wallet.

But I'll be happy to check out the x-men noir's.

The Dark Hillbilly

So this is basically Marvel in Sin City ?

Desert_Eagle25

No it's Marvel Noir. Sin City was noir.

Lucascraft

I love noir and I for one am very excited about this project.

Robos A Go Go

Yeah, I expect fewer killer hookers.

The Dark Hillbilly

I'm well aware of the term "noir". But noir comic books have already been done, and in black and white. I stand by my Marvel Sin City comment.

So you think Sin City is the only black and white noir comic?

DouglasDanger

I like the artwork in the promo shots, and love alternate realities. I hope this turns out well.

Robos A Go Go

I don't know who Fred Van Lente and David Hine are, by the way.

Has their prior stuff been good?

Holy shit I just realized that's supposed to be Spiderman. I'm actually having a hard time making out what he's holding though. Can't even really see where his hand ends and the thing begins, but I thought the traces was just smoke.

And I'm really pumped for this, have been ever since the first image came out and the rumors started. Although I gotta ask, isn't Daredevil: Noir kinda redundant?

The only ? No. The most widely known ? Yes.

Sin City is the only B/W noir comic that matters. Any attempt at making one since is borderline copyright infringement and lacking imagination. There are no news stories to be told in that sort of setting.

Not as much as Punisher: Noir would have been.

Me Too!

Daredevil I think will be the easiest transition
X-Men is gonna be a little weird
Also that picture of Spider-Man is captioned "This is Spider-Man" and yeah it looks like he's holding some kind of grappling hook launcher
That's not smoke that's a rope
I don't think they've got the chemicals to make web fluid yet

Me Too!

Also. You. Marvel Sin City jackass
There's a big difference between gritty, very realistic noir set in its own little world
And Marvel noir set around the Depression
Fuck you with a rake

It's gone about as fur as it kin go!

Hey you know what
Fuck yourself
I hate you people so fucking much

sportzboytjw

Wiggins chill. I was poking fun at Hillbilly's silly comments about how it was Marvel Sin City. I guess I needed to put a post afterwards saying
/sarcasm

My bad.

Man, that's like saying star wars is the only space movie that matters and any space movie afterward lacks imagination and nothing can be done with it.

That's stupid.

EDIT: damnit dude, now I look like an ass.

sportzboytjw

I WAS KIDDING. I AGREE THAT THIS SHOULD BE AWESOME. I'M REAALY SORRY!

Bloods End

Jesus people are retarded if they can't see that sarcasm.

sportzboytjw

I mean, I could see if I'd just made a one-line post, but I was LAYING IT ON THICK. Like, using absolutes, and denying entire realms of possiblities and crap.

Toxic Toys

I will be checking the Spider-man one out. I hope the 1st isuse has a good hook.

Robos A Go Go

So has anyone read anything by these guys before?

I know he does/did some Incredible Hercules stuff, also Wolverine: First Class. He's slated for Marvel Zombies 3 as well

Nogs

Oh also, MODOK's 11. which was fucking awesome. so yeah.

DJ Eebs

David Hine is pretty terrible though. I can't remember one thing he's written that I've liked.

Nogs

Civil War: X-Men was okay, but other than that, yeah, a lot of shit.

Me Too!

This is me ignoring you out of sheer desperate hope that this will be as good as it looks

Johnny Skins

So how many issues are each of them going to run? I am intrigued but I can't decide whether to wait for the inevitable, and more organizationally pleasing TPB.

wirehead26

David Hine is responsible for almost fucking up the Inhumans with his "started out good but holy shit got bad fast" Silent War story. He also wrote the Two-face issue of DC's Jokers Asylum 5 part story but I didn't read it.

He also does Power Pack, and one of his first indie successes was a superhero crime noir called Silencers. He also did a very enjoyable little story called Hotshot and Mighty Girl.

Don't worry, the book's in good hands. Van Lente's one of those guys whose work I always look forward to reading.

SalmonOfDoubt

That really just looks like a gun with smoke coming out of it, not some sort of grapplegun thing.


I'm still really hoping it's some variation of Fantomex, even if that's ridiculously unlikely.

Lux

I don't think it's just plain old rope, but some variation of webbing, hence the smoke like appearance.

Heh, that's actually who I first thought it was. Not to derail the thread, but whatever happened to him anyways?
