Rated T+
Spider-Man Reign 2 is the start of a very scary nightmare that only Spider-Man can turn into a dream. This is a techno fever dream of sci-fi futuristic action with social commentary edging on a profound sensory experience. This is dark blunt force Spider-Man. Read Full Review
The world of a broken Peter Parker comes back to life with a tale that drives home how far Spider-Man has fallen. Andrews takes creative chances with the writing sinks further into the chaotic grasp of a new King of New York. The art fits the mood with little glimpse of a return to form for the Wall-Crawler. It isnt your average story and will be an acquired taste for some readers. If looking for an edgier Spidey tale, this should be on the radar. Read Full Review
Spider-Man Reign 2 #1 is an example of a sequel nobody asked for. That doesn't mean it has to be bad, but besides the art, there is no real reason to jump back into this story. Read Full Review
Reign 2 #1 summons a couple of meritable ideas, but those fresh concepts are drowned out by a tidal wave of nonsense. Read Full Review
Ultimately, there is little to recommend Spider-Man: Reign 2. Fans of the original series will likely be pleased with it. However, it is hard to imagine any other audience for this book. It is mean-spirited and bleak, serving only to see how much more suffering can be inflicted on Peter Parker before he cracks forever. Read Full Review
Loved this book. Reminds me of Dark Knight Returns crossed with 12 Monkeys. The art is spectacular, 10/10 and the writing is great too. I think I read the original but honestly don't remember for sure. This grabbed me from the start, though. Kaare Andrews is probably the most underrated artist today.
