Spider-Man Noir Takes a New Case in 2020
Oct 28, 2019
A fan favorite Spider-Character will make a comeback in March 2020 with Spider-Man: Noir #1! Writer Margaret Stohl (The Life of Captain Marvel) and artist Juan Ferreyra (Killmonger) are set to bring the sullen Spider-Man of Earth-90214 back for a five-issue limited series. Check out some of the concept art from the series below!
Stohl provided some clues as to what she has planned for the darker Spider-Man's story: “Spider-Man Noir has become this kind of rogues’ gallery of all my favorite things: a deadpan Spidey Noir sensibility, a classic globe-trotting adventure, a femme fatale, a doomed excavation, loot, punching Nazis, Aunt May, camels, heroes of legend, and oh yeah, an actual rogue’s gallery of classic Spider-Man Noir Super Villains — all done up 1933 style! I mean really, how could I pass this one up?
“I’m so excited to bust Spider-Man Noir out of New York City and let him loose on the other side of the pond. Without saying too much — London, I hope you’re ready for this, because the friendly Noir neighborhood just got about five countries bigger.”

Marvel Editor Devin Lewis provided some more details on the case: “The last time we saw him, Spider-Man Noir was murdered at the hands of the Inheritors during Spider-Geddon. But you can’t keep a good spider down, and Spidey Noir is one of the best. After being resurrected through magical means in the forthcoming Spider-Verse #5, Peter Parker of Earth-90214 is going to learn that his world is a whole lot bigger than two-bit gangsters tearing up his friendly neighborhood. The shadow of war looms on the horizon, and in Spider-Man: Noir #1 it reaches New York!"
The early months of 2020 are looking to spin an intriguing web of events for the Spider-man titles. With Spider-Verse #5 hitting comic shops in February and Spider-Man: Noir #1 hitting the streets in March, Spider-Fans certainly have a lot to look forward to in the new year.
