X-Men Noir #1
The line between gimmick story and fun storytelling isn’t always obvious. Much like a television series, transposing your characters to another place and time can end up like “1602,” or it could be any of the numerous holodeck malfunction episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”
So I had apprehension about “X-Men Noir.” In fact, I was not going to pick up the book in the least. But I was won over by the persuasive power of Doom DeLuise, who manages to convince me into a variety of things, good and bad.
Oh yeah, I’m about to unleash a huge amount of spoilers, so don’t read on if you’re not into that. I’m putting it in quotes so you can just scroll down to the review.
