Spider-Man: Reign is the comic book event that holds the most potential for Spidey, allowing not only for a completely fresh, pallet-cleansing story-arc but also something that would feel entirely different from everything else in the franchise. Comic Book Reference Point: Spider-Man: Reign It may not be the most critically adored story arc, but the story, penned by Kaare Andrews is an arresting re-do of Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, offers a look at Peter Parker that is entirely different to the traditional image of the youthful hero swinging effortlessly through New York. In Reign, his youth is gone, and Spider-Man is retired, but a sinister plot from the mayoral office - uncovered by a Citizen Kane-like J Jonah Jameson of all people - inspires Parker to put his costume back on, and to take down a new Venom threat, backed up by a senior Sinister Six who are forced into the employ of the mayor.
