L'aigle Noir

Of all the Marvel titles that are doing Noir minis, Luke Cage seems the most obvious to adapt. Setting Cage in the Prohibition-era Harlem after a ten year sentence in prison, the environment and texture of noir seems comfortable for this character first seen in 1972. The Noir series will deliver the appropriate amount of murder and street brawling. Cage can’t wait to return to the arms of his woman and to the familiar surroundings of Lil Walt’s Barbershop for the local gossip. To the locals, he’s a hero; to Willis Stryker, the Godfather of Harlem and El Barrio, Cage is just trouble that needs to be eradicated. Trouble - that’s all Cage believes he was born for.
