Product Description: A searing vision of Spider-Man's future, brought to you by superstar Kaare Andrews (Incredible Hulk). They finally did it. Kicked them to the curb. The "capes and tights" crowd - there's no place for them in the Big Apple anymore. Peter Parker? He can't even remember what it was like to don the red and blue, and swing through the night sky. Doesn't want to, anyway. After all, there's nothing left to fight for, is there? That is, until an old "friend" appears on Peter's doorstep, bearing a package and a message - and everything changes. If it's not Peter's responsibility, then whose is it? Collects Spider-Man: Reign #1-4.
I'm a person that wonders what happens to the sports star, movie star and public figure after the lights go off and the world moves on.
This was a story of Peter Parker after everything goes wrong.
I enjoyed this very much and recommend it to any Spiderman Fan.

Decent story, poor artwork. This book came highly recommended, so I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately, there's no gentle way to say this; I want my money back. The story--despite obvious parallels to "Batman"--is OK, but the main problem here is the artwork. Frankly, most of the panels in this book look like they were doodled on a napkin then halfheartedly colored in. While the story attempts to be gritty and semi-realistic, the artwork is goofy and cartoonish--representing a huge conflict between what this story wants to do, and what it's actually doing. Again and again as I read this, I kept thinking how wonderful this would be if only more effort had been put into the drawing.
Spider-Man Reign is a great combination of Dark Knight Returns & 1984 Spider-Mam Reign is definately one of those rare series that leaves an unforgettable mark in your mind and heart. Peter hasn't been Spider-Man in 35 years, but as New York is quickly becoming very similar to the novel 1984 and an old "friend" of Peter's shows up with a "gift" Peter again leaps into action as Spider-Man. The imagary in this series is truely memorable and striking at the same time. Peter's hallucinations of Mary Jane still being alive are very heart breaking especially since it's Peter's love that killed her. Much like Dark Knight Returns, Spider-Man has to deal with the demons of his past and take care of his "loose ends." This is not a series to be missed by comic and/or Spider-Man fans.
Perfect This is a dark death filled story most of the characters die in it. that's said it's also a very moving story a touching one with a simple yet somehow so fitting art work for it.
I couldnt put it down before finishing it, which I can't say about most of the comics books I read lately.
A stupidest spiderman story This book is a stupid try to do a Marvel "Dark Knight Returns" with Spiderman as character, the art is sometimes good and others awful, I am really disapointed with this book
