One of the darkest and most talked about Spider-Man stories of all time, set in a dystopian future with no hope left... until the return of Spider-Man! Spider-Man's darkest night! The time? The future. The place? A cold, hostile Manhattan that long ago traded freedom for security, imposed by the brutal soldiers of the Reign. The opposition? Publisher turned rabble-rousing street prophet J. Jonah Jameson, who promises Spider-Man will return to save them all. But the long-vanished hero is a tired old man now - no job, no family, no hope. Can Peter Parker rediscover his once-great power and the great responsibility that comes with it? Or is the Spider's mask too heavy a burden to bear in this harsh new reality? Collecting: Spider-Man: Reign (2006) #1-4.
