Spider-Noir might be Sony's strangest Spider-Man project yet.

No Peter Parker. No traditional superhero formula. No colorful action spectacle.

Instead, we get a black-and-white detective noir starring Ben Reilly and Nicolas Cage, and somehow it ends up being one of the most unique Spider-Man adaptations in years.

We break down the show's strengths, its biggest surprises, how it differs from the comics that inspired it, and why we ended up giving it an official 8.0/10.

We also discuss Spider-Man Noir: Hard-Boiled Origins and wrap up the episode talking about The Human Target by Tom King.

Question:

Did Spider-Noir work because it stopped trying to be Spider-Man?

We talk Hulk finally feeling human, Sakaar, the Warbound, betrayal, MCU Hulk comparisons, and why this story hits way harder than just “Hulk smash.”

Is Planet Hulk the best Hulk story ever?

We talk Mister Miracle by Tom King and Mitch Gerads, why Scott and Barda hit so hard, why the comic is weird, emotional, and not for everyone, and how risky the upcoming DCU animated series could be. Is Mister Miracle a masterpiece, or is it too strange for casual viewers?
