Many times I have heard people compare spider-man reign to dkr ( batman dark knight). Anyways let me say that dsepite the similarities spider-man reign is truly original and shows spidey in a dark and cold realitiy where there are few happy endings for our heroe. In the storie an elderly and lonely peter parker has hung up his red and blue tights after a certain red-headed babe passes away. Things change however when JJJ drags peter out of retirement against the overbearing reign unit as well some old school spider-foes such as ( kraven mysterio scorpian doc ock sandman electro hydro-man and a new and improved venom). In conclusion if your looking for a fresh and unqiue new look at the spider-man genera then reign should keep you satisfied .

I liked this book a lot. The only real problem with it was that it was trying too hard to be the next dark knight returns. Spiderman is not Batman. Some of the lines he used after certain characters die (such as his quip after watching Scorpion fall to his doom) was just too much. Also, the artwork looked pretty cool on the whole, but some of the computer generated backgrounds looked a little out of place. If you can get past these small shortcomings however, it is still a really entertaining, really well written book that I would definately recommend reading.

Hardcover collects the mini-series of the same name. Basically, the Spider-Man version of the legendary Dark Knight Returns. It was well written and illustrated, and did a nice job of staying true to the Spider-Man mythos. But I am not a big fan of future stories where the Marvel Universe has basically come to a bitter state. Days of Future Past did that, and did it superbly. I would rather have a present day storyline, with the assumption that the current heroics will prevent that dark future.

A four-issue prestige format mini-series about a flagship character's "final days" in a dystopian future? While Kaare Andrews may have intended this as a "Dark Knight Returns" homage (witness the reporters' names..."Miller Janson"?), the story rises above mere tribute and takes on a life of its own as the series progresses. It's no surprise that Mary Jane is gone--Spidey's clinging to her tombstone on the cover. Although I've never been a fan of the airheaded model, Andrews crafts a tragic love story here that will bring a tear to the eyes of even the most hardcore MJ-haters.
All of Spidey's major villains are here (except for one noticeable exception, Mr. Norman Osborne). Without spoiling any of the surprises, one villain makes his creepiest appearance ever. Needless to say, if you are a Spider-Man fan (especially of the ol' blacksuit-era), you need to read this collection.

okay, some odd 20 years ago DC wanted to reimagine one of there older characters and take off all the stains of adam west, yes i'm talking about batman, and yes the book was Dark Knight Returns, the future interpetation of an aged batman who is ready to take his city back, even if that means going thourgh mutants, a "reformed" Joker, the gotham P.D., and even his best Friend Superman, this was a tale that reshaped the whole psychology of The Batman, and now Marvel has finally done the same thing For there greatest hero Spider-man, not giving anything away, its old spiderman, turned his back on his identity, and must fight his emotions over the death of mary jane, all the while an old villian returns to finally take out spider-man, Batman now has major competition for the darkest story.
