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?
