Black Beetle: No Way Out review

Posted on by Clark Leslie

TheBlackBeetle_NoWayOut_01_ad05_low

Long forgotten are the days of pulp heroes. Sure, they’re still published. We have The Shadow and we have The Spider. Within the last five years we have a new pulp hero and I think this one is here to stay. Brought to us by Francesco Francavilla a italian artist known for his work on Detective Comics for DC Comics and Zorro from Dynamite. He brings us a pulp story for the 21st century. The Black Beetle combines Batman, The Shadow, The Spider and even some Daredevil. Set in the 1940s in Colt City, which oddly enough feels very Gothamesque. The Black Beetle is out to solve “Who would benefit from the mob families being taken out” His name? The mysterious Labyrinto. Who is he? No one knows. We see Beetle travel to various setting ripe for a pulp hero. We have him breaking into a island prison a la Alcatraz to dank and rat infested sewers to a swanky nightclub reeking of desperation and greed. Many people wonder, can a artist tell a compelling and interesting story? Sometimes they can hit or miss, this one does not. Francavilla delivers is unique art style which he colors himself with the beautiful palette of oranges, purples, and blacks. The story reminds me of a Brubaker/Rucka crime story. He’s clearly learned from the best. If you’re looking to break away from constant super heroes saving the universe or even heroes and villains trying to stop the timeline from collapsing on its self, Black Beetle: No Way Out is for you.
