100% Marvel: X-Men Noir

Panini France’s 2010 100% Marvel: X-Men Noir reprints Fred Van Lente and Dennis Calero’s gritty, two-issue reimagining of the X-Men as 1930s-era criminals and detectives. Steeped in shadowy noir aesthetics, this French-published collection reframes mutant powers as dark secrets in a prohibition-era underworld. It’s a compact, atmospheric detour that showcases how the X-Men mythos can thrive in a starkly different genre.
