All sober-minded pop culture fans adhere to one important maxim: everything’s better with Nicolas Cage. And sure enough, Cage was a stand-out in the wonderful animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, as the comically hardboiled Spider-Man Noir. Every time Cage spit out a line about drinking egg creams and punching Nazis, audiences couldn’t help but cheer However, Cage isn’t the only thing that makes Spider-Verse‘s comedic take on Spider-Man Noir work. It also works because it’s limited, appearing in just a few scenes and making room for Miles Morales to be the far more dynamic heart of the piece. So as much as we love Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir, the recently-announced Spider-Man Noir live-action series sounds potentially ill-fated, especially if Cage’s character ends up being the same gag from the animated movies.

5 Essential Spider-Man Noir Comics You Must Read - Main Image
The live-action adaptation of Spider-Man Noir is coming to Prime Video, and Nicolas Cage will reprise his role as the alternate version of the Friendly Neighbourhood superhero.
It was in 2009 when Marvel Comics started creating a line of Marvel Noir comics that included Spider-Man Noir.
Unlike regular Marvel comics, the noir line takes place in an alternate universe where stories of familiar Marvel characters are reinterpreted to feature a hardboiled / crime noir atmosphere set during the Great Depression era in the US.
Here are the Spider-Man Noir comics you should read, created by David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky, alongside artists Carmine Di Giandomenico (who drew the first stories) and Marko Djurdjević (costume designer).
Spider-Man Noir Volume 1 (2009)

DC Comics “Catwoman” #64, now available, is written by Tini Howard and illustrated by Carmine Di Giandomenico, with covers by David Nakayama, InHyuk Lee, Derrick Chew, Leirix, Tirso Cons and Jim Lee:
‘…’Selina’ has carried out almost every heist on the face of the earth, so now it's time to head to space.
“In a universe full of interplanetary heroes and villains, secrets get left behind in strange places, and one in particular has caught the eye of the ‘Catwoman'.

This post contains spoilers for The Flash series finale.
The Flash has always been about hope, even when things look darkest. And for fans of the Arrowverse, it’s hard to imagine anything darker than the series finale. Not only is the official Arrowverse coming to a close with the end of The Flash, but even other superhero shows on the CW face an uncertain future, with Superman & Lois and Gotham Knights facing potential cancelation. And yet, during the final episode of The Flash, hope arrived in the form of a lightning bolt.
As expected, the final episode built to a showdown between Flash Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Cobalt Blue (Rick Cosnett). But the really exciting part of the show came in its final seconds, when Barry told a story to his and Iris’s (Candice Patton) newborn daughter Nora, herself destined to become super-speedster Xs (Jessica Parker Kennedy...

The Joker has gone through many iterations–a comically diabolical goofball, a sadistic expert of mind games, an anarchist with mental health issues…Now, he’s a daddy, as the Joker is shown as being pregnant and giving birth in a recent issue of his latest comic book series.
In issue #4 of The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing, a storyline titled “Knocked Upside Down!” sees the Joker as a pregnant soon-to-be papa, complete with the actual birth of his little baby boy. According to Cbr, in the story, the Joker wonders what a baby of his and magician Zatanna would look like, prompting Zatanna to cast a spell on him. From there, Joker gives birth via vomiting, which sounds like a panel worth framing.
This has apparently caused some backlash from certain communities–who likely haven’t even read the comic to get any context. The outrage primarily stems...

Well, the newest look at "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" certainly has some very interesting footage for fans to dissect. Seriously, those shots of all the Spidersonas together in what appears to be some sort of middle ground between multiverses look incredible, and we are certain that the actual animation to bring these characters to life will be stunning.
This multiverse middle ground doesn't just have the potential to look cool. "Into the Spider-Verse" proved that it was possible to travel between dimensions, with a couple of previously-obscure characters ushering in this important, multi-franchise-spanning plot point. With the waters now properly tested, it looks like "Across the Spider-Verse" will be taking advantage of all the creative opportunities involved in a multiverse concept, including just how many crazy characters can get their big-screen debut.

"...in 'I'm The Bad Guy', 'Kara' is bent on 'saving' the Earth through some very warped measures.
"Deemed a threat by the US military, 'Supergirl' is now a wanted villain. 'General Corvid' has come for our hero—and she won't give up until Kara’s gone for good.
"Meanwhile, the superstorm rages stronger than ever, while hundreds remain helpless against it.

Reaction around the virtual office water cooler mid-pandemic when DC’s winter crossover, Endless Winter, was announced was guarded excitement, along with the occasional wry “Oh you mean March?” Turns out, it wasn’t that far off, according to co-writer Ron Marz.
“The fact that we’re doing this [online] instead of in person at the Javitz Center is part of it,” he said at DC’s Endless Winter panel at New York Comic Con replacement Metaverse. “We’re all feeling a sense of isolation.”
Endless Winter is a nine part crossover that runs through two bookend issues, three specials, and the regular issues of Flash, Aquaman, and Justice League in December. Marz (Green Lantern) and Andy Lanning (Legion Lost) are co-writing, with art on each chapter from Marco Santucci (Shazam) along with another artist on each individual book.

Godspeed is coming. Again. In fact, it’s possible he’s been around a lot more than we even know.
The visually striking evil speedster was first introduced last year, in an episode titled (appropriately enough) “Godspeed.” Coincidentally, that was also the 18th episode of the season, just as “Pay the Piper,” his next appearance on The Flash is this year. Still, the version of the character we’ve so far seen on TV hasn’t really lined up with the one from the comics…yet.
The first Godspeed (the one we met last year) was August Heart (just as his name was in the comics). However, he was the August Heart of 2049, and his origin story was considerably different than the comic book source material, and instead set her up as a crucial piece of Nora Allen’s superheroic origin story. The character appeared again in the opening moments of “Into the Void,...

If you've been reading Den of Geek, you'll know that we've been championing the work of writer Joshua Williamson and his brilliant artistic collaborators on DC's The Flash series. Kicking off in mid-2016 during DC's Rebirth initiative, Williamson has helped steer the destiny of the most iconic speedster in the world with a series of stories that are equally appealing to longtime DC Comics fans and those who might only know Barry Allen and his friends from the CW TV series.

We've got your first look at Flash: Year One, which will reveal new elements of Barry Allen's history.
Josh Williamson is doing incredible work with The Flash, and the depth and quality of his contributions to Flash lore aren’t really apparent on their face. It's remarkable how a really good 70-issue run on a Justice League mainstay with his own TV show can seemingly fly under the radar, but that's what it feels like we've seen from this book so far. There’s only really one arc in Williamson’s tenure on the book that’s played a big role in the post-Rebirth metanarrative of the DC Universe. But when you really dig into what Williamson has done, there’s not a corner of Flash world that hasn’t been dramatically changed.

In the five-year history of The Flash TV series, we’ve certainly seen our share of speedsters come though Central City. Whether they be good or evil, each have made a significant impact on the Star Labs crew and viewers alike. But if any deserve to be mentioned by name, it’s the show’s first three big bads, those being the Reverse-Flash, Zoom and Savitar.
Due largely in part to the producers relying so heavily on evil speedsters during those early years, seeing any more featuring in wide-sweeping story arcs is less likely to happen. As such, we’ve witnessed threats like the Thinker and Cicada emerge in the time since.
That aside, fans more intimately familiar with comic books began clamoring to see Godspeed. First created by writer Joshua Williamson and artist Carmine Di Giandomenico at the start of the Rebirth era, this fella understandably caught on quickly.

There’s a new villain being introduced to The CW’s DC series The Flash. His name is Godspeed and we have our first look at him to share with you.
The character is going to make his big debut on the series tonight and this is sure to be a game-changing villain in the series! Why? Because he has the power to separate the other speedsters from their connection to the speed force, which can kill them in the process. This is a powerful ability to have. Oh yeah, he’s also supposed to be even faster than Barry Allen’s Flash!

Now that the cat is out of the bag and Barry Allen is aware that his daughter, Nora West-Allen, has been working with Eobard Thawne this whole time, the final batch of episodes making up The Flash‘s current run will undoubtedly be a markedly different viewing experiences from what we’ve seen so far.
In fact, when we pick back up with the gang tomorrow night, it seems like we’ll learn the full breadth of Nora and Thawne’s partnership. Already, the first trailer for the episode has hinted at just that, with the official synopsis for “Godspeed” backing it up, too.
But something we haven’t seen yet is the titular character himself. Yes, Godspeed is definitely set to appear on the next installment of The Flash and at long last, The CW has debuted a few photos of him to give viewers an idea of what he’ll look like.

Following rumors pointing to the antagonist showing up this season, these set photos from location filming in Vancouver confirm that the white-suited speedster is indeed coming.

Well, if this week’s release of Batman: The Red Death #1 is any indication of what lies ahead, none of these issues are to be missed.
From the get-go, the concept of the Dark Multiverse is explained to us by our narrator, the sinister Batman Who Laughs. Basically, it’s a lot like that of Elseworlds. But in this case, the choices made by the heroes are so unthinkable that these Earths are deemed rotten to the core, thus said abominations are doomed.

This review contains minor spoilers.
Now that “The Button” is over, you’d imagine the events that transpired would’ve had a major effect on the DC universe. Judging by The Flash #23, it’s a mixture of both yes and no. Look, there’s still reference to the previous arc here, but there’s also a humongous cop-out that frustrates beyond measure. More on this below.
As has been the theme in the issues released over the past few weeks, an old friend makes a significant appearance in a ‘Brave and the Bold’ type of mould. In this book, it’s Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), who pops by for Barry Allen’s birthday and ends up helping him shoo away the creepy Multiplex from stalking a poor lady.

And while both of those knaves have given the Scarlet Speedster his share of headaches, it goes without saying that Negative-Flash will provide different sorts of problems come this August.
You see, this isn’t simply another new evil speedster in town. No. As it turns out, The Flash and Negative-Flash are one and the same! Right now, details remain sketchy, but it’s becoming clearer that whatever happens in the story arc preceding “Negative” will imbue Barry Allen with some new powers that’ll be hard to get the hang of, thus corrupting him to an extreme degree.
