Marvel's April 2009 comic lineup includes the exciting new Wolverine Noir.
"The Bowery, 1937. Jim Logan, the fiercest knife expert in New York, runs a seedy detective agency called "LOGAN & LOGAN"...along with his useless, halfwit brother, Dog. They're the best they are at what they do. But when a swanky dame named Mariko Yashida struts into the office, she opens up a world of hurt for Logan, forcing him to revisit his painful, bloody past. " - IGN
I seriously can't think of a more badass concept. This is the kind of brilliance I've been waiting for!
Shipping along side of Wolverine will be The Punisher, Daredevil, and Spider-Man, each with a new stylish black and white look. Writer's and artist's previous contributions to the comic world include Marvel Zombies and Civil War.

Hmm...I'm sure that what I was reading was a preview for later this year.
I do believe that Wolverine is a seperate from the X-Men Noir. I'll have to look into it.
This reminds me, I really need to go back and reread the Maltese Falcon.

I rule on thirty different levels. Reading the Maltese Falcon came to mind before watching it. You are awesome. And Dashiell Hammett is the man!
