Old Man Peter returns to the past! Can he save the future and, more importantly, Mary Jane? Not if MILES MORALES has anything to say about it. You don't want to miss the latest chapter of the most notorious Spidey story ever told!
Rated T+
Overall, this issue is a solid installment in the series, but it's clear that the full impact of Spider-Man: Reign II will be felt in later issues. Read Full Review
Spider-Man: Reign #2 is an interesting alternate reality experiment, but it's tedious and ultimately hollow. Spider-Man feels nothing like the character as he rushes along overly emotional and out of his mind. You might find entertainment in the twists in characters, but it's hard to enjoy this incomprehensible lead hero. Read Full Review
The idea of an older Peter reckoning with his failed responsibilities as a young man is an interesting premise for a series; it's what made Old Man Logan so special. Unlike that book, however, there doesn't seem to be any real work being done in Peter. Read Full Review
Another incredible issue. The premise is interesting, the writing is really good, and the art is sublime. One minor complaint about one page of the art, and maybe I'm just misunderstanding the sequence of events, but it seemed to be showing that Venom, the very large and very male shaped Venom, that appeared the previous page was actually MJ. If so, that's just weird. The symbiote wasn't just covering her but tripling her mass and giving her man pecs and everything? Weird. Otherwise, the art is very kinetic throughout the issue, extremely well done. The writing is also great, you can really sense Spiderman's urgency and the instability of his mind. Just a great issue all around.

The search for clues of Spider-man left Black Cat and two Goblins alone, who give her a plan to build something that explodes, but she needs Peter Parker's intelligence to achieve it.
But when she meets Aunt May she d more
I feel like everything they’re trying to do is just to shock you, it’s too much. If the last page wasn’t what it was I probably would’ve dropped it.
