Marvels Mutants reimagined… X-Men Noir
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Marvel finally explained the mysterious Marvel Black and White teaser images they’ve been releasing over the past few months… Imagine the X-Men first united in the 1930’s at a reform school in upstate New York. The Xavier School for Wayward Youth is run by run by Professor Xavier, a so-called Professor of Crime. This event is firmly rooted in the dark shadowy noir genre of detective books by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler and classic films like Chinatown.
