Out on April 8 is the latest series in Marvel’s re-imagining of some of their greatest characters. Daredevil Noir is a new 4 issue mini-series by writer Alexander Irvine and artist Tomm Coker, which takes familiar faces from Matt Murdock’s life and takes them back a few decades. The first issue has a variant cover from artist Dennis Calero.
Now I can’t say I’ve been following this series of Noir titles from Marvel. Basically these different mini-series recasts familiar characters, like the X-Men, Spider-Man and Daredevil in the world of noir films and books, ie, a world filled with tough talking gangsters from the 40s and 50s. This title seems to be getting good reviews though, thanks to writer Fred Van Lente and the moody artwork of Dennis Calero. The conclusion to the X-Men reinterpretation goes on sale on March 11. By the way, if you don’t know how to pronounce noir (“nwar”) or what it is exactly, go here.
