Greg, Rahul and Leon get to grips with what works and what doesn't with the 2006-2007 Spiderman story!
Spiderman: Reign (http://marvel.com/comics/series/852/spider-man_reign_2006_-_2007) is a small window into a dark future where we find Peter Parker who in his Twilight years, struggling with his past and wrestling with his demons, is forced to return as Spiderman to confront an authoritarian regime that has New York firmly in its iron grip through a militarised police force known as "The Reign".
