Spider-Man Reign #1
Months ago this cover was leaked. Comic book forums buzzed with speculation as fans tried to figure out why Spider-Man is holding the tombstone of Mary Jane. Most people believed that May Jane would be killed before Marvel’s Civil War was over.
A searing vision of Spider-Man’s future, brought to you by superstar Kaare Andrews (INCREDIBLE HULK).
They finally did it. Kicked them to the curb. The “capes and tights” crowd — there’s no place for them in the Big Apple anymore. Peter Parker? He can’t even remember what it was like to don the red and blue and swing through the night sky. Doesn’t want to, anyway. After all, there’s nothing left to fight for, is there? That is until an old “friend” appears on Peter’s doorstep, bearing a package and a message — and everything changes. If it’s not Peter’s responsibility, then whose is it?. www.marvel.com
