I had planned to talk about which of the entries were my favorite, but I can't because I'd end up listing 3/4 of the table of contents. Some of the stories herein are based on the traditional noir mold. Some start that way and end up in a place you would never expect. There are several LGBTQIA+ focused tales, a couple of which grabbed my heart and really dug in (one also happens one to be a ghost story, the other a family crime saga). History. Politics. Sex. Goat heads. Sex <i>and</i> goat heads. A little bit of everything really and all of it impeccably written, gorgeously illustrated, and immaculately organized into a hell of a book. I've read a <i>lot</i> of comics and a <i>lot</i> of comics anthologies and I have to say <i>Noir is the New Black</i> is probably my new all-time #1. I scarfed it down in one sitting which I don't have time to do very often these days so when I <i>make</i> time it's pretty telling vis a vis the relationship I'm having with the book that's in my hands at that moment. As a collection it's sharp, smart, and unafraid. So get thee forth. <p/><br><br>PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED) -- A new genre is forged in this crowdfunded anthology, which applies the moral shading of crime noir to cover injustices faced by African Americans. Editors Harris and Sapolsky (<i>Spider-Man Noir</i>) bring together 16 electric, challenging pieces from writers including Melody Cooper, Brandon Thomas, and David Walker, with art from Mark Bright, N. Steven Harris, and others. Wisecracking adventurers, jaded gumshoes, and climatic cliffhangers populate many revenge fantasies. "Vera's List" and "Ousley" offer blazing period pulp action while "Gemini Visions" builds a suspenseful whodunit in modern Baltimore. Both "The Black Constable" and "Southern Hospitality" lay out searing historical thrillers with enslaved rebels and a racist hierarchy in colonial Jamaica, and a barroom shoot-out between a WWII veteran and the KKK in 1940s Alabama. "C.A.N.O.P.Y." and "Igbo Landing" project noir into the future with soldiers fighting viruses, conspiracies, and violent hatred in imagined civilizations. Dimly lit panels busy with stylized rogues and red-hot ferocity elevate the art, along with varied character appearances. Featuring tried-and-true cartoonists and indie discoveries, this anthology will leave readers longing for a second volume. <p/><br>
