Ok so I like to think of my self as a pretty big noir fan in all of it's forms so it's pretty likely I'v already read or currently reading any of the books that would catch my interest but hay ho you some times miss some, right? So what I'm asking is, do you know of any good neo pulp noir comics? To clarify, Noir is a type of crime/detective fiction that usually takes place in the 40s/50s that star down and out ex-con's, gruff private eyes and deadly femme fatales. A good quote that sums up Noir is "I killed him for money, and for a woman, I didn't get the money and I didn't get the woman" (Ten internet cookies to whoever get's the quote)
Pulp Noir however is the combination of the hard boiled crime of noir and the more comicbook sci fi of pulp fiction, basically a caped vigilante in a noir setting, good examples of this are The Shadow, Black Bat, Black Beetle, Green Hornet, The Sandman ect. Now what I am looking for is Neo Pulp Noir, basically Pulp Noir in a modern day setting, I'v pretty much read all of Batman's noir like story's (Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush, Gates of Gotham) and I have read all of Daredevil from Miller to Diggle. I'v read most of The Punisher and I know Moon Knight flirted around the Pulp Noir genre but never quite got there especially after Bendis took over. So any recommendations?
