The thing about the spider man in the noir comics is that he really tries to trick you into thinking he's a lone wolf, that every person is an island. I mean, he even tricks himself into believing it.
Tumblr media
And honestly, can you blame him? So many people he comes across are out to get him. Everyone leaves him somehow-- death or betrayal or otherwise. But despite that--- despite that!! There is an underlying theme of community that is so vital but easy to miss with all the misery that the comic throws at you.
Tumblr media
but right from the beginning its someone else picking Peter up, dusting off his shoulders, guiding him, whether it be Aunt May, Ben Urich, Felicia Hardy, Jean De Wolfe, or hell even JJJ.
There's been some discussion about how noir Pete is different than his other iterations, and one aspect of that being that he doesn't really have a persona when he's in the mask. He's always angry, headstrong, emotional Pete. And I agree! But I keep thinking about how much of his image as The Spider-Man is about otherness, loneliness, and solitude.
Tumblr media
He is so other in fact, that he's not even perceived as human. They depict him with 6 legs, 2 arms, and a skull-like, blood-filled face with an open maw. On one hand, I am aware that the Goblin is purposely smearing the spider in the paper, but it would be wild to assume that this doesn't effect the public's view of the spider man too.
This is a crazy departure from Peter Benjamin Parker, kid nephew of Renowned Socialists May and Ben Parker. He lives and works at a welfare center that houses and feeds the homeless. He cares deeply about the people around him, strangers or otherwise. He's compassionate!

The panel of him leaning against the wall and being physically ill in horror stands out to me all the time.
Another part of the noir spiderman that diverges from the typical spiderman tropes is that he is clearly lacking the friendly neighborhood part and I'd like to think that the origional Noir run and the EWOAF follow up was setting up for that type of thing to sort of come around. I don't think he will ever really reach that status with how the noir universe is set up, don't get me wrong. He's got some horrifying eldritch spider god looking over his shoulder and he's an intense, dark son of a bitch. I mean it more in the way that he himself needs a community and needs to recognize that he HAS one as Peter Parker!
He comes to this realization a few times, as seen in the panels of the original post with Ben Urich and Robbie. The thing is that he never really, truly gets there. Ben dies, Robbie is lobotomized, Felicia doesn't want to see him anymore, but he does call for Jean De Wolfe in the last issue of EWOAF, who comes! Progress!
Tumblr media
Anyways, all that is to say that despite what he believes, Peter needs (and wants, even if he tries to repress it,) to be with and confide in other people. The comics set up a really good arc for him to learn this in following volumes/issues... if anyone ever bothered to write them </3

I love Spider-Man Noir because he's got such a Rigid way of thinking. I mean the first four issues develop his understanding of the political corruption in New York, but he's still stuck in this idea of clear cut bad guys and clear cut good guys. It makes him easy to manipulate. It makes him over-confident in himself. And I love Spider-Man Noir: Eyes Without a Face because it shows that dismantling political corruption and fascism isn't a one and done battle. That the world will not always side with him because he's a force for "good". And so.

He loses.

Damn bold to think they can scare people into leaving when you're all already organized. College I'm going to has a march going right now that's only not encountering opposition 'cause the (pro-Isreal) College President had to step down only a couple months prior. I'm happy to see every college possible up in arms - stay safe
Everyone here is refusing to be subdued by some cops who think they’re all that. So far today has been much more relaxed with a smaller police presence, so that’s been great. Hopefully everything goes smoothly until the organizing is done for the day.
I hope your march goes well! I’m happy you’re able to do it without threat. Scaring ppl into submission is some sick and evil work. Never let them get u down!
Stay safe!!!
