Dark Horse Coins The Phrase "Super Noir" For The Black Beetle

[Rich Johnston]

Ooh, I bet Dynamite wish they'd thought of that one.

Or possibly Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips.

Or even Frank Miller.

But there you go. "Super Noir" for the first issue of The Black Beetle out shortly.

I wonder what other titles will join it?

Okay, there are 29,000 googles for "Super Noir". But even so...

Is super noir Francavillas tm or is it a DH title that will feature his character amongst others, like another anthology book? Its not too clear in the article.

It's a promo for the Black Beetle series, not a title. The #0 issue was great!

holy shit, why was I not informed of this Black Beetle series? when did this so called #0 come out?

[Eric Sean]

A couple weeks ago. I picked it up and really enjoyed it!

to the comic store!

Yeah, it came out that week before Christmas that was heavy--I remember because I bought 5 or 6 Image books that week and also bought Black Beetle #0 from Dark Horse as an impulse buy. I'd never heard of it either, so I'm glad it's getting some promotion before the series proper launches.

I find francavilla's art hit or miss but this does seem interesting. Need to pick up the 0 issue.

Black Beetle is great and truly a labor of love. I can't wait for more.

...I dunno. Something about that name fires off a red alert in the back of my head. Sort of like what would happen if DC introduced a character called the Platinum Snurfboarder, or Marvel came up with a character called Booster Chrome.
