About the series
In a gritty, dystopian future of the Marvel Universe, Kaare Andrews wrote and illustrated this four-issue series that imagines an older, retired Peter Parker forced back into the role of Spider-Man. Set decades after his prime, the story explores a world where heroes are outlawed and New York City is ruled by a fascist mayor, with familiar faces like J. Jonah Jameson and Flint Marko returning in unexpected ways. A deeply personal and melancholic take on the character, Spider-Man: Reign stands as a bold, creator-driven vision that reexamines legacy, loss, and the cost of heroism.
