''[[Spider-Man: Noir]]'' is a four-issue miniseries which reboots the Wall Crawler into the genres of [[Film Noir]] and pulp fiction. It is set in New York during the Great Depression.
In the first series, we're shown that New York City is a hive of corruption where the poor are forced to live in horrible conditions, mobsters and slum lords have free
There was a four-part sequel series titled ''Eyes Without a Face''. In this one, the defeat of Norman Osborn has left a significant power vacuum that other gangsters are trying to fill, and the result is Spider-Man having his hands full when the brutal Crime Master is settling nicely into that spot.

* [[Nice Hat]]: An occasional part of the Noir Spidey costume - he only wears it a couple times.
* [[Superhero Packing Heat]]: Spider-Man is shown to brandish guns around to intimidate others, but he's only killed one person with them: Vulture, who he caught trying to eat and kill Aunt May.
* [[Wall Crawl]]: In the comics, this is notably absent from Spidey's power set, though he can do it in ''[[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]''.
** Justified, as the in-game manual and the IGN review both state that Spidey Noir can only wall-crawl at all
