Spider-man. Noir. by David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, and Carmine Di Giandomenico. 112 pp.
I thought this sounded like fun when I heard about it: Spider-man re-imagined to be set in 1933. I'm not a big Spider-man fan but I enjoy good reworkings of established stories, seeing what can be varied while still staying true to the original. I was also looking forward to some nifty art. Well, I liked the art when it showed the city in the background, but most panels were just close-ups of characters, and I did not care for the style. The story seemed disconnected from the original; the characters had similar names, but not much else. Maybe if I were more of a Spider-man connoisseur I'd have liked it better. Although I did enjoy Aunt May as a socialist agitator.
