Spider-Man: Reign takes place in the tragic future of Earth-70237, a world defined by its utter lack of any notable heroes, or villains, both of which have been replaced by New York City's overtly militant police force, The Reign. Under the control of the malevolent Mayor Walters, The Reign kept the people of NYC from ever stepping out of line or trying to make something better of their lives. When Walters ordered the activation of his WEBB system, it was under the guise of preventing any outside attacks from reaching any New Yorkers, though it also turned the city into a prison unto itself.
In 2007's original Spider-Man: Reign, fans saw an elder Peter Parker push back against the likes of Walters and The Reign, as well as the mayor's superpowered Sinner Six. Consisting of Venom, Electro, Scorpion, Hydro-Man, Mysterio, and Kraven the Hunter, the Sinner Six stood as the epitome of Walters' power. Thanks to the efforts of a reformed Sandman, who lost his daughter to The Reign's violence, Spider-Man was able to defeat the Sinner Six, all while bringing down Walters' stranglehold over the city.
Miles Morales is being tested like never before, and one of the greatest Marvel heroes of all time might just be the one to break him.
Spider-Man: Reign 2 brings readers back for another trip through the world of Earth-70237, as Peter Parker steps back in time to try and prevent a truly cataclysmic event from rendering the entire future asunder. Unfortunately for him, this isn't the first time that Peter has made the trek, nor that his actions have made things worse than they would have been without his intervention. As such, Spider-Man has found himself staring down old allies on the battlefield, all while teaming up with newfound friends he never could have imagined at the series' outset.
