my thoughts exactly – i heard ‘daredevil noir’ and it was an immediate wtf? daredevil IS noir! they should’ve just called it daredevil thirties…

at least x-men noir actually does more than put the heroes in old school clothes

Daredevil in the 1930s? Yes! Don’t you know that anything that happens in the 1930s is ten time cooler?

I’ll shoot, and even proof it before I post…

Noir in “Daredevil Noir” is verbose, because it’s daredevil, yeah? And probably only noticable to smart guys seeing past all that marketing.

The Noir line’s big to-do, has gotta be setting. I mean, it’s Daredevil but in a different era. What’s “X” gonna do in the 1930’s?

I was thinking that noir CAN include the period/setting of a story. So maybe, and I’m trying here, Marvel’s usage of the word is in this way?

Could not agree more, Alex. Of course, thanks to Marvel slaughtering the Spidey and X-Men version of the NOIR imprint, I will not be picking this up. You will have to review this puppy so I … No … so the world will know if it’s good. Of course Pete will tell us about Wolverine: NOIR so that is covered. :)
